Don't you love a Farmer's market? My favorite one in town is open for the season, and the bonus is that it isn't far from the quilt show venue. If you come to the show, on your way home, stop by the Johnson Family Farms produce stand on the corner of Kanuga and Erkwood. Right …

Sunday Chat – In the Garden, Quilt, and Show
The birds have been giving choral performances every morning and most of the day now that spring is here. The bluebird has decided this is a great perch and sits here often enough for me to get his picture. That branch may fall off the tree soon, as it appears to be dead, but the …

A Few Days to Piddle
After three out of town trips in just five weeks, I was happy to have a couple of days at home. I needed the time to catch up on a mountain of laundry and some house cleaning chores. What looked like a week of meetings cleared a bit as one meeting was canceled and an …
MINIs On The Dragon 2024
MINIs on the Dragon was this past weekend, and we headed out early on Wednesday to make the trip. It is only a couple of hours from our home, but we needed to get there in time to work our shift at registration. We try to do our part to volunteer for the event, but …
Sunday Chat – Cards, Dragons, and Mexican Food
As I mentioned on Friday, I have not been sewing in the past month. Instead, I've been spending all my free time (which has been precious little) doing crafting projects. I needed to finish making the cards I wanted to do for the guild show. I didn't do as many as I had planned, but …

Stashbusters May
It is time to check in again with our fabric purchases and completed projects. Are you on track this year? If so, great job! If not, we have many months to go to get on the side of more fabric out than in. Remember, it is fine to buy fabric now and then. This challenge …
Cooking, Books and the Bird Quilt

In fact, I have been actively looking for dishes that will highlight the fresh flavor they give to meat entrees and vegetable sides. Turning the pages in the World in a Skillet cookbook from Milk Street (now on sale for …
Sunday Chat – Luft Wasser and Garden
Saturday was the perfect day for a car show. It is spring, and there are a lot of shows, drives and socials on all the club calendars. This is the first big event of the year for us, held in Brevard, NC yesterday. It is called Luft Wasser, which is German for Air Water, and …
On the Veranda
Warmer days mean having meals on the veranda. Last week we had friends over for a meal, so I had to set a nice table for them. After washing the pollen off the table, I set it with white placemats, spring green chargers, white dinner plates and pink floral salad plates. Spring green napkins are …
Finding Inspiration
Last week the Mancuso Quiltfest Show was held in Greenville, SC, and a few gal pals from our guild went with me to see it. I haven't been to this show before, mostly because the ticket price is a bit steep - $15 plus parking fee. I have had precious little sewing time lately, and …
