On most Saturdays we have breakfast at a cafe. The only day of the week that we indulge in Bacon and Eggs and Pancakes. The rest of the week it's cold cereal. Sat. is special. Today we will go to Sherwood Days. Our daughter and son-in-law live in Sherwood and we walk through town looking at lots of old cars and booths with all kinds of treasures. I'm sure I will find something interesting to photograph so I know you will not want to miss seeing them.


Here is the picture of the Lemoyne Star little quilt that will be part of the fall Hand Piecing class. It is fun to sew something this small and have a finished project quickly.


The next picture is the sewing box that will be included in the class and it will be filled with hand-sewing needs.


If you are able to come to the Sandy Quilt Show at the end of this month you can see them up close and personal. I enjoyed making them and we also will be making the sewing roll up that I previously talked about.

    I don't think that you got any rain today, right? Your quilt is gorgeous! Even after I quilted it. :-)

    We made a good choice.

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

Coming out of hibernation

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
