There was enough of the Winnie the Pooh print for another charity quilt, but this time I wanted to make the directional aspect of the print not matter. The only way to do that is to deliberately rotate the print so some of it is right side up in every direction. So, I cut out …

Autumn Tablescape 2015
I love setting a pretty table and having friends over to eat, but sometimes I do this just for the decoration. It is full autumn now, and for those in Canada, Thanksgiving is fast approaching. For my Canadian readers, if you want to see last November's tablescape to inspire you for this year's Thanksgiving, click …
Slow Stitching Sundays
Football season is well underway, and I like to do handwork while I watch the games. Plus, I needed something to slow down with after the insanely busy last four weeks beginning with the Apple Festival then State Fair competitions, through three weekends of the library book sale, other meetings and quilt shows, ending with …
Later in the Garden
This year the garden has been a bit disappointing. The flowers did well, but my crops were really mostly failures. The heirloom tomato finally gave me a few scrawny tomatoes, wonderful to eat, but so small. Yet the marigolds were prolific. At least the marigolds kept the bugs off the tomatoes. This pot is huge, …
Slow Cooker Bourbon Chicken with Mushrooms
Cooler days and nights, combined with busy schedules means the slow cooker is coming out of the pantry to take care of dinner. While I usually think of this cooker as the best way to a hearty meal ready when I get home, I wanted to make a low fat dish. Over the years of …

Autumn In The Mountains Car Show
Yesterday was our big event for the British Car Club, our annual Autumn In The Mountains car show. It is the last big event for me for a busy September. I am president of this club, so the workload for me was increased this year. Our car is the one on the right, a TVR. …
Using a Directional Print in Stacked Bricks
I am still on my plan to make more boy's themed quilts for our charity quilt goal with the quilt club. I found this really cute Winnie the Pooh fabric, but it is directional. The print has a fairly large repeat, so bigger pieces will show off this print better than cutting small ones. I …

Draw String Pouch
Did you know that September is National Sewing Month? You would think that I didn't know, with the few actual sewing projects I have done this month. So to make up for it, here is a project can be done in under an hour. Read all the way to the end for a chance to …
September in the Garden, the Deer Visit
Temperatures cooling off last week have ended the flowering of some of the plants. All the veggies are done, what little I got from them. I picked up another soil test at the Fair, so I'll be doing another one to see if something has changed that might explain the lack of produce. The plants …
