Spring Break - Day One!


Breathe in.

Breathe out.

I wish I could say that I took a lot of time for this - I should have taken more!

Yesterday was my first day of Spring Break - I've been longing for these two weeks in-between retreat groups and yesterday did not disappoint!

The rain and mist and more rain from the day and night before did not reappear.

Instead there were cattle grazing down below the back porch and I set about cleaning the porch and getting things ready for porch season to actually and truly begin.

Last Minute Stitches!


Sew Long, Farewell -

And would you check out that green green grass?  It's BACK!

This makes me so happy.  Now if only the trees would get leaves.

And....stop raining?

It poured all day yesterday and through the night.

I guess that means we are still in the season of mud.

But just look at these beautiful quilts!

Quilt City Mysteries Gift-Away!


Yes!  He's done it again!

And the Hadley Carroll story continues with another mystery - taking place in our favorite Quilt City of Paducah Kentucky!

Have you been keeping up with this series? I love it!

Honestly, I keep checking my inbox for when Bruce sends me another message of "It's that time again!" because I know he's got a brand new book release and I have an instant need to catch up with all of the charactors and see what shenanigans they can get into next.

Quilting Through The Weekend!


The Sewciologists are working on their PHD's! (Projects Half Done!)

And they are making beautiful things - it does my heart so much good!

The weather has been fairly yuck - I'll admit it.  Saturday was perhaps the worst with morning temps in the 20s and it just never got warm.  It was drizzly and fairly yuck -

But there is something so comforting about walking into the Quilting Quarters to find that the fireplace is going and everything is toasty and beautiful things are up on the design walls.
