Pumpkin Spice Cards
With fall finally here, I had to get out my autumn inspired stamps from Impression Obsession challenge to participate in their latest challenge, Pumpkin Spice, either pumpkins or the coffee. I knew right away the sentiment I wanted to put inside, this one says it perfectly. I stamped it on cardstock the color of nutmeg, …
Carolina Hurricane Quilt Project Wrap Up
Update - This program has now ended. This is the final post. The last shipments from Western North Carolina, Charlotte, Raleigh and Fayetteville were sent at the later part of August and the beginning of September.

September in the Garden
I have rejoined the land of the living, and am grateful for that. As some of you know, I spent six days acutely ill with the flu, actually more ill that I have been in about 35 years. High fever kept me from doing anything for days, other than to lay in bed, completely oblivious …
Once Upon a Story Row Along
Quilt alongs are really fun, and I've been joining more of them this year as a designer. Earlier this summer I did one with Moda for their Summer at the Beach. When when Marian at Seams to Be Sew announced her fifth annual Row Along, I had a idea right away, so I decided …

Starting a Quilt of Valor
Piddling around with elements at the retreat last February, I wanted to use some patriotic layer cake fabrics and some jelly roll strips for a Quilt of Valor. I showed this last March after the retreat, and they have been put away since then as I was just too involved with the Hurricane Quilt Project …
End of the Garden Tomatoes
The garden tomato crop is winding down, but still there were too many to eat in salads and on sandwiches alone. I'd made enough Tomato Pies, and I didn't think DH would eat another one, LOL!! While reading a charming little book called Simple Pleasures of the Garden, I found a wonderful idea on preserving the …
Fun at the Mountain State Fair 2019
The NC Mountain State Fair ended yesterday, and I will be picking up all my entries today. On Labor Day I turned in my projects in crafts, quilting, and photography, but due to our trip I couldn't enter the gardening competitions this year. I got home just in time to enter the last three cooking …
