Flowers & Inspiration
As I mentioned in my last post the fair the dahlia exhibit was exquisite. Seeing the shape of the petals I see how dahlia medallion quilt shapes came to be and why they are so much fun to piece and quilt. It's easy to see why quilters are inspired by dahlias. This would be great… Continue reading Flowers & Inspiration

The fair usually has a grand selection… Continue reading From the Dutchess County Fair and the Sunset

More of Richmond Town
I like touring Historic places. There are a few places that I would go back and visit including Connor Prairie in Indiana, Colonial Williamsburg, and Old Sturbridge Village. Each historic site has their own way of presenting the history of their particular area either interacting with the characters of the time period or the docents… Continue reading More of Richmond Town

I'm sure I could find out who designed the Paramount theater… Continue reading Old Movie Theater, Staten Island

Heading home and Cool post from…
Mickey DePre, Mickey is sometimes something of a night owl working on her quilts in the quiet of the night. She blogged the other day about making a "Farmers Wife" quilt by a certain date. Some of her regular readers started asking questions, hence this mornings blog post. I just had this conversation with a… Continue reading Heading home and Cool post from…

challenge
A while back the founding members of one of the mini groups I participate in started a Calendar Challenge with the group. We each took 2 months and are working on creating a 12 x 12" quilt for these months. As we meet casually the finish line has been rather casual. The first month I… Continue reading challenge
