Our quilt show was really fabulous, and a huge success judging by the number of people who came and the complements we were getting as guests left. I have just a few more quilts to show of ones that caught my eye, but not nearly the number I wanted to photograph. I just ran out …
Amazing Garden of Quilts Show
With more than 250 entries in our guild's Garden of Quilts Show, there is no way I can begin to cover the amazing work displayed. Although I took a fair number of photos, I was focused on my assigned task of documenting the show overall, and I didn't get as many photos of individual quilts …
Sunday Chat – Garden and Quilt Show
Looking out the front sliding glass door on a rainy day this past week, a wet and bedraggled looking Gracie was sitting at the doormat, looking hopeful. It is apparent she still has pups in her nest. Of course she got a nice, fat, peanut butter sandwich. It was still drizzling, but she took her …
Project Linus Inspiration
I had a day free on Tuesday, and it was a rainy day, perfect for hiding out in my basement and putting thread into fabric. I have had a total lack of inspiration lately, and I think it is because I just don't need anything for myself or for a gift. So I turned my …
Visiting the Farmer’s Market
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 …

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 …
