Springtime Luncheon Tablescape and Menu
Last weekend I had a nice ladies luncheon, just some time with friends to chat and have fun, away from the meetings where we usually see each other. It is always fun to do this sort of thing, time to relax and enjoy the friendships. I wanted to have this on the veranda, but the …
Vanilla Blueberry Tea Cakes
There are times to make something wonderful from scratch, and there are times that a few shortcuts yield just as yummy results. Recently I had a lovely luncheon with a few friends and I wanted to make something dainty and sweet. But, with all the things I wanted to do, I needed a shortcut for …

Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken
My husband would rather not eat chicken at home since he orders it out a lot. But, sometimes I want chicken, so I had to come up with a new recipe for him to enjoy. He loves sundried tomatoes, so I decided to combine these two flavors into one dish. Here is a stuffed chicken recipe. …
EQ7 25th Anniversary Contests
Designing quilts has become a bit of an addiction. I really enjoy the ability to take blocks and play with them before cutting any fabric. I use EQ7 software to create my designs for the mystery quilts, and some of the other quilts and table runners I have shared. Recently, I was playing with it, …
Memories from Childhood
On the day when we honor our mothers, it is nice to revisit some memories from childhood. I think that most of our fun memories are those created by our mothers, taking us to special places or making certain days special. Some time ago, DH and I went to Greensboro, and while we were there …
