I have graduated from crutches to a cane. YEA! Still having to stay off the feet for a while longer. Or at least till the pins come out. I have several blocks completed and may have them completed within 4 weeks. I would like to wish all the mother, and we include Petmothers in wishingContinue reading “Feet up and nothing to do”

This year we will be staying in town instead of taking a vacation. I’ve had foot surgery and am off it for a while. This is giving me time to go thru pictures of previous trips. Hope you enjoyed a trip down memory lane..

This was for safety reasons, or so the machine said. Then I felt the pain. Sewing foot went right over the fingerContinue reading “Finger vs Sewing Machine”

This weekend we had our local quilt guild quilt show and it was so much fun. I was amazed at the quilts by everyone, but 2 people’s work had me going back to do a double take and in some instances a third glance. I will start with Jim’s Quilt. He is the only manContinue reading “My Quilt Guild Quilt Show”

I have been seeing an ad on Facebook to sell your handmade products on Amazon Handmade. We are in the process of updating our Etsy account.
