These are some of my sweetie's Grandma's Linens. They're pretty and soft. Grandma crocheted around the edges of about 8 of them in different colors. It's hard to imagine a time when paper napkins didn't adorn the table every night. Pretty napkins would make the whole dinner with the family a little more special. There… Continue reading Grandma’s Lines & more quilt show pics

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

“A Splash of Silver”
When the challenge committee presented "A Splash of Silver" we laughed out loud at their "Laurel & Hardy" type of banter. They incorporated our 25th anniversary and our 10th show in a unique and fun way giving us a lot of latitude in making our challenge quilts.

I’m a bit sentimental
I've had this blog post in mind for quite a while. You see, a few months ago my sister sent me our grammas sewing box. Oh I was excited to have this come into my life.

No I did not cut myself with any of the sharp knives we keep in the block or the cheap serrated knives we keep in the really good cheese grater. No, I had the kind of mishap that only happens when I'm in the… Continue reading the other night I had a kitchen mishap

Childhood memory
Everyone has childhood memories that just crack them up. All I have to do is think about this particular memory and I start giggling. Partly because it's funny, partly because it's a "busy woman" thing and partly because it shows how children think. And quite frankly that can be quite funny. Back in the 70's… Continue reading Childhood memory

In just 10 more days
DH and I will celebrate our 15th anniversary! Woohoo! The time has flown by ever so quickly. We've moved twice in 15 years. Not bad for a kid whose average move was about 2 years (yes, I did spend the time to figure out one year.)I'm looking forward to the day and all that it… Continue reading In just 10 more days
