Four Bindings, Done!
I'm proud to say I applied myself to the task and completed the bindings on four quilts over the weekend. Three of them were table runners, but they are done and I am enjoying them as part of the Fall decor. That's my dining table above. The runner is my own creation. Inspired by a…

Time for Some Fall Decor
I thought it was high time I got out my fall decorations. I spent a couple of hours this week going through my things and putting out some favorites. I think I typically over do it, and this year is no exception. I just can't seem to edit myself. That is my mantle, above. I…

A Startling Encounter
Sorry for the little break. I have been playing catch up with all the things I let slide the past couple of months. My grand daughter is back at school now and normally things would be returning to a regular schedule. We are getting things ready for our visit to Ireland during the month of…

Touches of Fall
My husband said I should wait until September 1st, but I couldn't wait. As far as the weather is concerned, there is no sign of fall's arrival whatsoever. Our temperatures are still around 100 every day. Changing out some of my decor makes me hope for cooler days ahead! An update on my recent complaint…

Back in the Saddle Again
Hello there. Thanks for your positive comments about me doing a monthly favorites post. I think that should be fun. We are home from our vacation to Lake Tahoe, and our son Ahren is on his way home to Dublin. I wasn't so sad saying goodbye to him this time because I know we will…

Spring Doings
Just in time for Easter! My little State Fair table topper got bound and placed on my dining table. I love the spring color palette, and will be enjoying this one for many months to come. My dining table did not see any Easter action this year. We gathered at my dad's house, 18 of…

Pinwheel Puzzle
My little Pinwheel Puzzle quilt is finished. I think I will put this one on the coffee table in my living room for a more toned down St. Patrick's Day accent. In fact, I could live with these colors all year long in my house. The pattern is an old one by Teri Atkinson, and…
