‘Tis the Season to Quilt-Along!
Hey, everyone! It’s Friday again, and like every weekend, I’ve been chomping at the bit to get it started since yesterday! Honestly though, in fairness, I did kind of actually start my weekend early this week. Since Kali is out of town, I didn’t have my usual LIVE with Lisa obligation to show up for…

When Life Gets Torn Apart, We Piece It Back Together!
Hey, everyone — T.G.I. Friday! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the weekend. It was a chaotic and emotional week, to say the least, and after everything that happened in our neighboring city of Menasha, I’m looking forward to a little downtime to decompress and process it all. Right now, I’m feeling…

Wind, Hail, and Flying Geese at Primitive Gatherings!
Hey, everyone! Holy cats — have we had a day! Last week it was toxic air and muggy heat trying to snuff us out, and now today we’re dealing with baseball-sized hail, torrential rain, and a flippin’ tornado that decided to touch down just a few miles down the highway from PG! Needless to say,…
