Just a Day Trip -


My 2 hour drive to Winston Salem gave me ample opportunity for.....

You guessed it!  An Antique Mall wander before my designated eye doctor appointment time.

And what you see on this shelf is an immediate reminder of my maternal grandmother who passed when I was 5.

Somewhere - I wish I could find it - I have a photo of my brother Mark and me sipping rootbeer floats out of these tumblers.

Spring Break - Day One!


Breathe in.

Breathe out.

I wish I could say that I took a lot of time for this - I should have taken more!

Yesterday was my first day of Spring Break - I've been longing for these two weeks in-between retreat groups and yesterday did not disappoint!

The rain and mist and more rain from the day and night before did not reappear.

Instead there were cattle grazing down below the back porch and I set about cleaning the porch and getting things ready for porch season to actually and truly begin.

Last Minute Stitches!


Sew Long, Farewell -

And would you check out that green green grass?  It's BACK!

This makes me so happy.  Now if only the trees would get leaves.

And....stop raining?

It poured all day yesterday and through the night.

I guess that means we are still in the season of mud.

But just look at these beautiful quilts!

Quilt City Mysteries Gift-Away!


Yes!  He's done it again!

And the Hadley Carroll story continues with another mystery - taking place in our favorite Quilt City of Paducah Kentucky!

Have you been keeping up with this series? I love it!

Honestly, I keep checking my inbox for when Bruce sends me another message of "It's that time again!" because I know he's got a brand new book release and I have an instant need to catch up with all of the charactors and see what shenanigans they can get into next.
