  • We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Quilt…..

    My grandson’s quilt has been put on hold, but only temporarily. (If you click on the links below, and then make a purchase, some of them may put a few pennies into my pocket. Of course, there is no additional cost to you. I am always grateful to those of you who choose to bless me […]

  • I Kind Of Miss Reading….

    Winter Olympic viewing has been fun for the last week or so, but I kind of miss reading. Actually, I miss it a lot! The excitement of the games has been fun, but I’m actually longing to settle into my chair, put my feet up, and spend some serious time in a book. Next week […]

  • It’s Been A Good Week!

    It’s been a good week! A lot has been accomplished, not the least of which has been that I have finally finished piecing my ten year old grandson’s quilt.

It turns out, I’m every bit as eclectic in my crafting. It’s not unusual for me to have a couple of knitting […]

  • Gardening, Baking, Sewing, Tilling………

    I love days like today! We’re all home, we’re all working, but not necessarily together; and at the end of the day, I can look back and see that a great deal was accomplished. Copper will return to work tomorrow, after a week long vacation, and it will seem kind of strange without him here […]

  • Marking Sewing Bobbins And Completed Projects

    Did you know that it is important that your upper threads and your bobbin threads match exactly??  I found this out the hard way several years ago.  I had some nice black Gutterman thread threaded onto my machine, and a black bobbin below.  My stitches were not right.  The upper and lower tensions were not in […]
