Veterans Day was a weekday this year, so the British Car Club committee for the Veterans Drive planned an event for the Sunday after. Three British car clubs from North and South Carolina gathered for a lovely autumn color drive in the mountains. We had 33 cars, and most of those had two people, so …
Thanksgiving Tablescapes
Today, let's take a little trip back in time to see a variety of tablescapes for the Thanksgiving table. Starting with this one, a gold and rust theme with turkeys all over. The ecru tablecloth lightens the look. I used my largest ceramic ones for the centerpiece with honey color candles. Gold napkins are held …
November Book Chat
So many good books, so little time, LOL!! I like the quiet of the early morning for reading, and a rainy morning makes me linger a bit longer in my cozy chair. I am still working my way through a very long list of recommended reads from friends and book blogs, so more of my …
Visiting the Landrum Guild
Last week I had the pleasure of driving just over the border to South Carolina to visit the Landrum Quilt Guild and do a program for them.

It has been a while since we had anyone come to stay in our home. Last week, our friends that live in Ohio had been on vacation in Florida and came to visit us on their way home. We are a good layover point, and they planned to be here for a couple of nights. …
Having Fun in Delaware
Last month was a bit of a whirlwind, with a long drive up to Delaware in the midst of Autumn Jubilee to visit the Ocean Waves Quilt Guild. I got to meet in person my wonderful two moderators of our Friends of From My Carolina Home Facebook group. Normally, I do not go this far …
Sunday Chat and Fall Color
Fall is coming into some color now, and the turkeys are back. This bachelor flock of four are coming by frequently now. It is fun to see them appear, pecking around for tidbits and acorns. They are a bit shy, only one will come close enough to get a bite of whole grain bread thrown …
More Quilt Repair, and a Class Offer
Well, I've been at it again. Between the Autumn Jubilee quilt along, sew along and stitch along, I have had three more repairs in the works. I've had to turn down two more as being just too much for me right now, and I got yet another inquiry this week. The last one was finished …
