Every month this year the EQ7 blog is having a challenge. I decided to participate this time with this one. The challenge for March is to design a quilt using only two colors, then recolor it with fabrics. So, I began with some applique blocks, as some day I might actually learn how to do …

Quilted Art Project – week 3
Another week, and it has again been busier than expected. I did manage to get some stitching done this week, and I plan to do more today. I added a few more buttons, and realize I need more lighter ones for contrast. I finished the couching on the lavendar trim too. I made one little …
Blue Ridge Drive
DH and I will be leading a drive for the car club in a couple of weeks, so we needed to drive the route ahead of time to be sure it is still a good route. Roads have a way of closing when you aren't prepared from winter rock slides. So, we got on the …

Loading the Longarm
A lovely group of ladies in town make larger quilts every year to give all at once to a deserving charity. This year they are making twin size quilts for Mainstay, the local women's shelter. It is difficult to quilt that size on a DSM, so I have agreed to do the quilting on six …
Catching up on Book Reviews
In the last two months, I have caught up with several good books from three good authors, and one in the not so much category. In each case, I picked up new titles, at least new to me, from authors I have enjoyed in the past. I have already put abbreviated reviews on Goodreads for …
More Fidget Quilts for Alzheimer and Dementia Patients
A few weeks ago, I received a stuffed package of trims, zippers, patches, and other things from Rosemary in Virginia to assist our quilt club with our Alzheimer quilts project. In return, I promised to make her two Alzheimer quilts for her local group to see how to do them. I finally got them finished, …

An Early Spring?
Mountain living in winter is usually not the time to see a lot of wildlife, so imagine my surprise in the middle of winter to see this sight in our lower meadow! A sizable flock of robins was stopping by for a visit. Get ready for a picture heavy post with lots of wildlife. Usually …
