Picking up from yesterday, the Grand Strand Quilters meeting was so much fun. I really enjoyed making new quilter friends, but had no idea what would happen next. One of the charities the Grand Strand Quilters support is the Quilts of Valor program. I didn't get this quilter's name (with the microphone) before the end of …

Quilting on the Grand Strand
Last week, DH had work to do in Myrtle Beach and I decided that I needed some beach time. So I packed a bag and went with him. While he was working, I had a grand time on the Grand Strand! The Grand Strand is composed of a number of small communities along the coast, …
A Puppy Quilt
Last month I left a comment on a quilty UFO adoption post on a fellow blogger's event. Cyndi blogs at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework, and every so often she does a link up event. You post a UFO that you just don't have the enthusiasm to finish, and then pick a person who …
More Stamping Fun in April
In April, DH invited the club over to have an inspection of their little British cars by a couple of very knowledgeable members to see what might need attention before it became a problem. For the guys who might be interested in seeing the cars, here's a link to the event - LBC Tech session. …
Quilting the Orphan Block Quilt
Picking up from the post on Sarah's blog about using an orphan block, here is the finished flimsy after adding the squares, bars and border.

Shrimp Flower Appetizer
With another holiday meal coming up next weekend, I thought I'd share a variation of my Shrimp and Avocado Roumelade appetizer. I fixed it a bit differently and tweaked the recipe too. Start by gathering your ingredients. Remember my thrift store score of these parfait glasses? No one says they can only be used for …
Early April in the Garden
It is getting warmer now, and the garden seems to be coming to life again. All around the flowers are not as prolific this year due to a late freeze that did some damage to the buds. Still, the light pink azalea is producing blooms and the bumble bees are having a great time. As …
Easter Decorating
Easter is just days away now. I didn't do a lot of decorating for this holiday this year. One thing I do have to put out every year, though, is this adorable, now vintage, Happy Easter train. Look closely and you can see the word Happy spelled out in twig letters held by the little …
Stamping Easter Cards
Bunnies and spring colors were the theme of my Easter cards this year. I found these adorable fuzzy bunny cut-outs on 90% off clearance at the discount store last year, so of course I had to snap them up. Don't they have adorable cotton tails! I wasn't sure what I would do with them, until …
