Go ahead and use it!
I have an iron stone saucer that belonged to my Grandpa Vanslyke (Van). Yep, it has a chip in it. I have no clue when or how he came to own this common ironstone china. I have looked up J & G Meakin and discovered they were one of the largest pottery companies in England.…

Getting There!
I don’t have any finished quilts to show you, but I do have two quilts “getting there”. Some quilts tops just take more time to make. I am not a very patient person and I prefer quilts tops that are quickly pieced but STARLIGHT seemed the perfect pattern to use the blue with white print…

Steps and Stitches
I miss walking outdoors with my dog! We have had 6+ inches of snow on the ground since last Sunday. We have had a couple of days with temperatures above freezing in the afternoon with a little melting…but with temperatures dipping at night, the melting snow turns into sheets of ice. And Dog and I…

Snow time is Sew time
Brrr it is cold outside! Temperatures – not the “feels like wind chill numbers” were in the low single digits yesterday. We didn’t receive as much snow as predicted but the 6-7 inches we did get is beautiful. I say this as a retiree with no place I must go. Hats off to those who…

Patience
How good are you at waiting? I am better than a two year old toddler but not near as good as my Grandma Ella was. I have been doing a lot of “waiting” the past few days. I waited several hours in an airport for the connecting flight–which I planned so I wouldn’t miss a…

Quilt Season
It is “officially” Quilt Season. Friday night we handed out candy to approximately two hundred very polite and cute trick or treaters. Yesterday we flipped the calendar over to November–with the cutest photo of a Shibu pup. I found places inside for my house plants that spent the summer on the deck. This morning we…
