Twilight Stars Quilt-Along – Block Release #41
I hate to say it, but instead of the second day of spring it’s beginning to look a lot more like Christmas outside than anything else! Many of us woke up to the bright white glare of snow coming through our windows this morning, rather than the barely green and brown grass we were all…

Twilight Stars Quilt-Along – Block Release #39
Hey friends – T.G.I.F! I’m super glad the weekend is here, especially since I spent the first half of the week sick in bed. I was down and out in such a way that it even took the desire to stitch out of me. In hindsight, I wasn’t feeling 100% by Friday of last week…

Easter is Early this Year!
Are you ready for the Easter holiday? I’ll admit, considering we really had no snow this winter, the month of March kind of snuck up on me this season. Until a little birdie recently brought it to my attention that Easter Sunday is already coming up at the end of the month, it hadn’t really…

You’re never going to believe this… It’s snowing! After all the mild weather this month it caught me a bit off guard when I looked up to see a squall of light, fluffy snow flying around outside the window this afternoon, pretty much out of nowhere. When I drove into work this morning it was…
