Last Sunday was a warm, sunny day, and our MINI club took the opportunity to get together for a drive. We met in Traveler's Rest, South Carolina, gathering at a local grocery store parking lot. We had about 14 cars to start, and three more joined us on the route. Once again, we were leading …

Quilting and Cooking
I got the quilting done on the blue and yellow quilt this week. When we left off, I had the top constructed and was deciding on a border. I did choose to put a narrow white border on to preserve my star points. Then I loaded it on the longarm, and began quilting. I used …
April in the Garden
Warming days means digging in the dirt and our flower season is revving up, too. Last week I got out and made a lot of progress in my planting. There was a lot going on in the garden, so get ready for a picture heavy post. In the flowerbed, the tulips are still going nicely, …
Al Fresco Tablescape
With the warming weather, we love eating on the veranda. Last weekend we decided to invite our neighbors up for a springtime meal to enjoy it with us. I set the table so the couples were a bit farther apart, just to make them more comfortable. It has been a while since I had some …
Spring Sunday Drive
The British Car Club drive for Saturday was postponed to Sunday due to rain, so we were able to have a nice sunny day for a drive in the mountains. We met at a parking lot in Brevard to get everyone together. It was a later start, so we could have some much needed social …
To The Nines in Blue and Yellow
I have begun working on new colorways for my To The Nines pattern. This pattern is for sale on My Patterns page, using a different method of half square triangles. The pattern also has lots of sizes, where the class will only be a throw size. First up is a lovely blue and yellow colorway. …
Projects in Progress
I have been working on many quilting projects, but so much is still secret. I'm able to give some sneak peeks now, and I am so eager to show you what I can. I began quilting my Pachanga quilt, and it was a struggle at first with thread breaking. I think I have that figured …
Scrap Dance Mystery Pachanga Step 7
Here we are again!! The seventh clue in our mystery quilt along is here! I hope this doesn't bring any tears, but we do need to make a few more HSTs. Using your 4-inch scrappy squares, pair with the 4-inch background squares. Mark diagonal lines on the backside of the lighter of the two squares …
Books, Books and More Books
It's been another month of eclectic reading, some more culling, and new finds in the quilting/sewing genre. Another load of books went to the library bookstore, and I made my decision on the cookbook series. The Cooking Light series was donated, mainly due to its lack of photography, even though the recipes are lighter and …
Happy Easter Parade
This weekend the small town of Dillsboro in western NC was finally back to holding their annual Easter parade on the day before Easter. We were there in 2018, our first drive event with the Appalachian Mountain MINI club, and I posted about it then. See the cars and the parade from that year here …
