I finished the wool quilt today. The top was a combination of cotton pieced blocks and wool appliquéd blocks and borders. The backing is cotton, batting is QD wool.
I am allergic to wool, but really had very little problem. The fabric made me much itchier than the batting. I will definitely be using this batting [...]

Since last Wednesday evening the machine has been giving us problems. We didnt call the dealer [...]

The first year I lived in Pennsylvania, I was in a bit of culture shock when it came to hunting. Particularly deer hunting. First day of buck season is always the Monday following Thanksgiving. (TODAY) My first year here I was shocked to learn that some men actually take a week [...]

Want to take a tour with me?
Two days ago, Steve gated the cows into the winter pasture. First day of hunting season is Monday, and they are much safer in a more confined area. Plus, it gives the main pasture time to recover.
So here the cows are yesterday (Thanksgiving) totally pissed off because they cant [...]

I am thankful for Steve, family, friends, a home, food on the table and clothes to wear. We are rich indeed.
Today, I am particularly thankful for our ancestors. Those that came and settled this land and made America what it is. Whether the ancestry is American Indian and Irish (like Steve), or mostly English, Irish [...]

This one is from Debra in Missouri:
And this one is from Kristin in Iowa:
Aren’t they [...]

Wow, those two topics hardly go together! And I don’t want jicama IN my bed either!
My friends often tease me about making them try new things to eat. They absolutely refuse to try jicama. Do you like jicama? Do you know what it is? No? Well, let me introduce you.
First of all, it is pronounced [...]

I surprised myself and finished the book “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter” yesterday. I have been thinking alot about the issues in the book. And even more about the issues it brings up in my life.
Norah Henry delivers twins, and her Dr. husband (David) tells her the baby girl died. He sends [...]
