Leaping

Are you leaping with joy because it is leap year day?
Maybe you are leaping with joy because it is snowing? (again and still)
Or leaping with joy that you are doing what I am doing? (If you are working on tax stuff, I bet you aren’t using your longarm to organize your papers….. unless [...]

Hungry Critters

We see critters often, but rarely feed them. And we never ever feed the deer. There are too many of them. The one above crossed the road in front of me, just as I had started down our road. I think he was headed to the corn field.
Wild animals fend for [...]

Granddaughter’s Flower Garden

This quilt pattern is normally called a Grandmother’s Flower Garden. I figured out a way to piece it in a non-traditional way, so I am calling it Granddaughter’s Flower Garden.
I may get more of it done later in the week. I cut it all out, but only only have this much sewn.

The weather [...]

A Different Kind of Quilt

This quilt is different. I dont know the name of the pattern. She used one pattern for the center. Then made up the borders herself.
What is so interesting to me about this quilt is the mix of traditional and modern. The design, fabrics and piecing are all a mix. So [...]

Well, thanks to the sweet emails from some of my friends, I can do this. Winter HAS to be almost over right? (uh huh, it is still snowing)
A very special thanks to Sally (and Paul too….. hugs to you both) who winter in Florida instead of Sandy Lake. Yeah, I know, they [...]

Can you handle more?

It’s fricken snowing AGAIN!

Sparkly Day

“It’s very sparkly.”  (Raymond says in Rainman)
We had a sparkly day.  It started out sparkly because I had a wonderful blast from the past phone call from a long ago/new again friend from 4 lifetimes ago.  Wow.  Really special.  We will continue to keep in touch, which is special too.  Thanks for the call E [...]
