Piecing the Past Block of the Week
Well, that was a bit of a surprise. I wanted to do the Piecing the Past Block of the Week Sew Along, and what do you know, week one was three blocks. So there you go, three blocks done. The blocks are 9" finished. And do you know what? I couldn't do it. Those blocks…

Let’s Read a Cozy Mystery
I think we should read a cozy mystery. Things are bleak enough these days without spending time reading a book with a heavy topic. I haven't been able to concentrate very well this past month and as a result, my reading life has suffered. Let's get back in the mood to read together with a…

Laundry Basket Mystery Quilt–Blocks Done!
Well, that was intense! 100 blocks in fifteen days. Whew. I got it done though, and am glad I can sew the blocks together and call this a finish. I did end up changing out some of the fabrics in the last blocks. As we got closer to the center of the quilt, the colors…

Wallowing in Fabric
Is that not the most beautiful pull of fabric? It is what I am planning to use for the Comfort and Joy quilt-along hosted by Piecing the Past. I had it all in my stash, and only ordered a few more backgrounds. I love Civil War reproduction fabrics as you know, but I am especially…

Filling the Time
Filling time, or doing time? We are getting by either way. Today along with our homeschooling, we made a chocolate cake. It starts with a cake mix, but tastes a lot fancier. It is a Pioneer Woman recipe called Top Secret Chocolate Cake. It was so good, as tasted and reviewed by Chef Eva. We…
