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 IContinue reading “Steps and Stitches”

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 whoContinue reading “Snow time is Sew time”
So,You want to learn to Quilt?

A young Church member has quit her full time job and has time on Wednesday to joinContinue reading “So,You want to learn to Quilt?”
Catching Up

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 aContinue reading “Patience”
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 weContinue reading “Quilt Season”
