I have been working on many quilting projects, but so much is still secret. I'm able to give some sneak peeks now, and I am so eager to show you what I can. I began quilting my Pachanga quilt, and it was a struggle at first with thread breaking. I think I have that figured …

Secret Sewing, Garden and More
It seems like it has been a while since I could share with you what I am working on in the sewing room. But, alas, everything I am currently doing is a secret. And it is multiple projects, LOL!! First, I am making progress on Pachanga, but I can't show you that yet. Second, there …
February in the Garden
Wow, first let me say thank you for the tremendous response to yesterday's post. I really am grateful for your feedback and support. For those who are new to the blog, I mentioned the Safelight Project, click on that link to see last year's project start, and use the category on the sidebar to see …
November in the Garden
November usually brings colorful trees with gold and rust, burgundy and rich browns. This year it is a little sparse, as two storms with high winds have brought down a lot of leaves before they could turn. I did get a photo of this one, in the process of changing to a lovely orangy gold. …
June in the Garden
It is hard to wrap my head around the fact that it is the middle of June, although it is certainly getting hot enough. I am not a fan of summer heat, although I do like the cool mornings and evenings we usually have. June is the month the fireflies usually come out, and we …
March in the Garden
Anybody have cabin fever, yet? One way to fight that feeling is to get outside, especially with spring making our temperatures warmer. Digging in the dirt is a cure for the inside blues, isn't it?

February in the Garden
In the garden this month, there has been an interesting contrast of dull days and bright color, sunny mornings and then snow followed by days of rain. Just the day before our QOV sew day, it snowed. As I watched the snow fall, it seemed that every bird in the neighborhood needed a bit of …
January in the Garden
January in the garden is not really very colorful, but here and there we find some things to make us smile. The geranium didn't know it was winter when it bloomed in December. And it still didn't know in January, as it is still blooming. I have high hopes of overwintering these again. They are …
November in the Garden
Autumn color is slow to develop this year, and it will be well into November before we can say we are seeing the peak. Rain this past week should help some leaves stay on the trees, and freezing temps overnight may bring out some color before they all fall off. At least I hope so. …
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 …
