For the sixth year, I'll be hosting Autumn Jubilee the month of October. I've been working on getting some great giveaway prizes, designing projects and cooking up a new recipe. I have put all the rules and tips for entering the contests on a Rules and Notices page. See that page to be sure you …

It’s Apple Festival Time
It has cooled off for a few days, with gloriously crisp mornings putting me in the mood for Autumn days ahead. The Apple Festival is this weekend, with most of the festival restored after last year's cancellations. Time for an apple recipe, a look at some of the festival fun and an apple tablescape or …
Just Roll With It Embroidery
The last time we had this embroidery on a Sunday chat, I was in the middle of the stitching. For some reason, I had a hard time getting going on it. I think the decisions on colors stymied me for a bit. Once the decisions were made, it went a bit faster. Having a few …
Sunday Chat
With the summer winding down, I usually bring out my August placemats and table topper for a new tablescape. This year I haven't been motivated to set a nice table, other than just the basics for me and My Sweet Babboo. So, maybe you'd like to see a couple of past tables with these patchwork …
Sunday Chat
This week has just been so busy, with car club events, playing pickleball, quilt meetings and lunch with friends. It is no wonder that I have little accomplished in the sewing and crafting room for the week. On Thursday, I went to a quilt area meeting then stopped by the Quilts of Valor sew day. …

Teacups Embroidered Block
This month's block for the Teacups quilt along is an embroidered block. The quilt along is a mixed techniques one, so I am throwing in some handwork. This was mainly due to the complexity of the design I wanted for the sugar and creamer, more delicate and intricate. If you haven't joined us for this …
Christmas Redwork Pillow
The Christmas Redwork project almost didn't get finished this season. It seemed like the days just flew by and I didn't get a lot of stitching done each week. Progress was made, but just not quickly. Last weekend, stitching resumed in earnest until the redwork was done. I wanted to add some beads to dress …
Redwork Christmas
Getting back to my redwork project today, as it was put to the side for the entire month of October. I think I have enough time left to finish it for this year. When I last wrote about it, I had stopped here with the bottom section done, and the Santa started. Stitching on the …
Sunday Stitching
Sunday is a fine time to slow down, take a break from the week and relax. I've been taking some time to do some handwork, starting a Redwork Project a couple of weeks ago. Only a little bit has been accomplished so far though. I did get the bottom section finished last time I had …
