These pretty pastels were part of a box of fabrics that a friend of mine was destashing. I thought they were lovely, soft and perfect for a little quilt for charity. I originally planned to write this up for a guest blogger post for another blogging event, but I changed my mind and decided to …

Sunday Conversation
It has been cold most of the week, rainy for the past couple of days, with just one warm day to go for a walk outside last Tuesday. We took more boxes of books to the sale site, then did a walk around the outside loop at Flat Rock Park. It was hard to find …
Piddling Around
This past week has been a lot of piddling around, and not finishing much. I've done a few embroidery motifs using the new cards purchased for my 20+ year old Brother Pacesetter machine. I showed this one last week, as it was stitching, here it is completed. I'll add two more to this one for …
Quilting To The Nines
When I left off this project last week, I had put on a pieced border, then removed it. The border was just too much white on the edges and I really didn't like it. After I picked out the stitches and took it off, I loaded on the frame again and got ready to begin …
Some Valentine Ideas
Well, I cannot decide if it was bad news day or good news day yesterday. My dental appointment that I have dreaded for days was postponed due to snow. We didn't get any snow at our place, but apparently the area where my dentist lives did. So, all that anxiety will now be postponed to …
Making Progress on Projects

Working on a Quilt Border
Sewing is just more fun with friends, even if they are on my computer screen. I can still hear their voices and see their faces, and we all get a lot done. I've been hosting virtual sew days for several small groups, and I enjoy them all. This time I was working on a border …
Quilting a Quilt of Valor
Our local Quilts of Valor chapter has been quieter than usual this past year. There have only been a few presentations in private ceremonies, and a couple of outdoor ones for just three or four veterans. Because the group was unable to do the large ceremony for military nurses we planned for last November, we …
Snow, Virtual Quilting and Football!!
Two fun things in one weekend, we got a couple of inches of snow on Friday, just in time to hunker down for Wild Card Weekend. Before the snow came, a new visitor came to sample the handouts. Apparently, Oliver has a buddy. The second little guy has been here before, but not as consistently …
