Quilting, cooking, reading books, gardening, crafting, sewing, photography and more
Last week and this week, the Safelight Project was finished up. In the mail in the last days of the project, more case sets arrived from some wonderful readers. These lovelies came from JoAnn S and Joan S. These arrived the same day from Holly S and Chris L. And these wonderful sets arrived from …

Well, I thought I was being cute on Tuesday with the video, but it didn't get the response I thought it might. It was supposed to be a clue to let you all know a new mystery quilt along is coming in January, but only a couple of readers figured that out. I couldn't do …
Our guild area meeting was last week, and we got a nice start on our quilts for the local Safelight domestic violence shelter. Our goal is to make 20 quilts for their bunk beds. This project could really be ongoing, as the resident is allowed to take the quilt with them when they move to …
It is the last Sunday of the month, and Autumn arrived this week with beautifully cool days. The garden is winding down, but I am still harvesting a lot of tomatoes! This was a couple of days worth, with lots of little cherry tomatoes and another Cherokee purple. The hydrangea is covered in dark pink/green …
Last week, I did some blocks for the Safelight quilts project that my guild's local area is coordinating. I used a couple of pretty prints, so I could do blocks with florals and whites. Making a lot of half square triangles at once means allows the prints to be mixed between blocks. I wanted to …
With the summer winding down, I usually bring out my August placemats and table topper for a new tablescape. This year I haven't been motivated to set a nice table, other than just the basics for me and My Sweet Babboo. So, maybe you'd like to see a couple of past tables with these patchwork …

Strong storms roared through our area on Sunday night, with driving rain, thunder and lightening. The winds were howling up the coves on both sides of our home for some time, and the noise was frightening. The next day brought the damage to light. We were counting our blessings that we only lost two …
It seems that everyone is really busy right now, with more things to do around the house, working from home, video conferencing, kids home from school, and trying to be sure we have what we need for an extended home stay-cation. I saw another blogger call it a 'corona-cation', and that seems like a good …
Cards and case sets are coming in for Safelight, and it is exciting to see this project take off so quickly. We hit our donation goal within 48 hours of the first announcement, and have now gone well over. I knew that the shelter was completely out of bags for new residents, so I wanted …
