Nice Long Weekend
I had a great visit with my dad on Saturday and Sunday. I made him soup, his favorite thing to eat. It was so rewarding to see him eat every last bite of it. He has gotten so thin and frail. I suppose that is to be expected at the age of 94. All in…

Do any of you know this plant and enjoy it? It is calibrachoa and is just about the only thing I can grow. It likes warm weather and lots of sun. 6-8 hours of direct sun a day. It can take less, but you will have fewer flowers. I have heard that it is a…

This Week’s Piecing the Past Blocks and Wedding Plans
I am continuing to piece the weekly blocks for the Piecing the Past "Comfort and Joy" sew-along. This week's blocks were really good. The one at the top in the photo above is called "Lilies" and is one of my favorites for sure. I reduced the size from 9" to 6". I had a bit…

The Joys of Home Baked Bread
I was struggling a bit with content ideas for today's blog post, and ended up going with exactly what is going on at my house at this point in time. In between reading, a token effort at homeschooling, washing my hair, shopping for leopard print sandals and looking up cherry brownie recipes, I came up…

Blocks of the Week
I got all three Piecing the Past blocks finished. The Ohio Star Variation was easy peasy. The fabric requirements for this quilt included a variety of fabrics in these colors: red, blue, gold, green, brown and orange. I have decided that with the fabrics I had on hand, the orange just isn't working. I remade…

Hodge Podge
Well, this is a mess. My sewing room has so many projects going on, it doesn't know what hit it. I have three block of the week projects in process, and enjoy seeing my completed blocks on display, so there you are. A big mess. Thank you all so much for your kind comments and…
