Iris Folded Christmas Cards
I first saw these cards last year, and thought they were simply wonderful! The folded paper creates such an interesting design. Just last month, the ladies that introduced our quilt group to this had a program on how to do them. I still love this idea, and wanted to share the process with you. This …
Christmas Wreaths
My Christmas wreath from last year was a winter style, suitable for leaving out all winter. But, the ribbon was really sad, so I turned it into a fall wreath for this year. Of course that meant I had to do another one for Christmas. I scored a box full of glass balls and gold …
November Wreath
Last month I did a post on Harvest Wreaths for Autumn Jubilee, and my MIL commented that she wanted one. Well, OK, any excuse to get out the goodies and play with my glue gun again!! Starting out with a grapevine wreath base, I added some fall color faux flowers and leaves. I also started …

Autumn Jubilee!
Finally, it is almost October and we can really get into the Autumn season, my favorite! It was wonderfully cool last night, down to the low 50s, and I got out my sweater this morning to go to the Asheville Quilt Guild's Quilt Show. I have been working on a special event for the past …
More Fun at the NC Mountain State Fair
More fun at the NC Mountain State Fair began with the crafting competitions. I worked so long on this set of crewel ornaments last fall, and was thrilled to find them hanging in the crafting competition area with a red second place ribbon. This was baby animals day, and we were lucky to get to …
How to Re-cover an Ironing Board
Ironing board covers do wear out regularly, and need replacing. If you have a standard board that most people have, just buying a new cover is easy. But, my board is a specialty shape that is no longer made. It is larger than the standard board, with an elongated end for ironing in the round, …
