For our Sunday chat pleasure today, I have several books to tell you about, along with a fabulous new recipe made from my Milk Street Vegetables cookbook. So shall we read first, then eat? I adore the Seasons series, and I finished the fourth one. I am trying to read them in the months that …
Stashbusters Challenge March
Time to check in! Whether you've been with us from January's post, or you are just starting today, all are welcome. We'll post our totals for the previous month or weeks on the first Friday of each month. You can use a calendar month, or count from first Friday to first Friday no matter how …
March is Worldwide Quilting Month
When Fave Quilts contacted me to be a part of their month long event for National Quilting Month, I was delighted! I've been a top designer for them in years past, but it has been a while since I did a pattern for them. This month, one of my designs is featured. It is the …
Fun with Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras is Tuesday, March 1 this year, just about as late as it can possibly be. Does this mean a late spring too? Perhaps, so we need something bright and cheerful for winter days. It is a good time to do a new table with only what I have on hand. We'll have some …
Safelight Quilt and In the Garden

Rainy Days and Scrap Dancing Fun
It has been another week of appointments and meetings, with little to show. Last night it was raining and this morning was foggy when I awoke. The clouds are supposed to lift later and warm up a bit. It was a dreary dawn, but I do love the layers that appear when the fog settles …
Finishing the Guild Challenge Quilt

Sunday Chat
Colder temperatures have brought the birds to the feeder this past week. My Sweet Babboo put a new suet cake out for them and it was eagerly pounced upon by this downy woodpecker. The cardinal pair came by too, along with an entourage of goldfinches still wearing their winter drab. But they are brightening up …
Sewing and Stamping
What fun we had yesterday, sewing and chatting on Zoom. Thank you to all who were able to come. I really needed some quilty fun and I enjoyed the day a lot. I got a fair amount done, too. I removed sleeves from two quilts, and made a permanent sleeve for my Twinkle Twinkle Pumpkin …
