  • Thank you

    Thank you

    Thank you so much for all the love and support you have given me and my family during this time of upheaval in our lives. Sweet hubby was such an integral part of my life and our daughters’ lives. It is hard to even imagine life without him, and yet we are unwavering in our…

    Home

    Today my sweet hubby, Dave, went to be home with the Lord. It was unexpected, and he will be greatly missed. If you were ever at one of my lectures or workshops, know that Dave was a big part of each one of those. It is because of him that I traveled to speak and…

    Getting back in to the swing

    I’m busy getting back in the swing of things! The first good news to share is that two of my secret quilts (ones I can’t show you yet) have been juried into a special exhibit called Circular Abstractions that Nancy Crow is putting together! My experimental quilt shown to the left was the first in…

  • Happy Father’s Day

    Happy Father’s Day

    If you’ve ever seen me speak in public, it’s entirely this guy’s fault. He’s the outgoing, social butterfly, and he’s continually pushing me to get past being an introvert. This month we celebrated our 34th anniversary. Wow, that’s a long time! It’s been a quiet blog-month, but it’s been anything but quiet here on the…

  • Review of 2014

    Review of 2014

    I can’t believe it is already the end of 2014! This has been a busy, eventful year for our family. Being “Mimi” means a lot of quilt making gets put on hold temporarily so I can focus completely on little Hazel, but I expect in the coming year things should start balancing out more. Here…

  • Merry Christmas to me!

    Merry Christmas to me!

    Merry Christmas to me! Well, really, it is for sweet hubby since I am totally blessed, and he does our laundry. But I suppose that is a year-long Christmas present of a different sort, isn’t it? Anyway, at the end of the year, I like to buy us a little something with some of the…

  • Lovely little get away

    Lovely little get away

    Sweet hubby and I just got back from a lovely little get away. We were given a mini vacation at 5 Corners Bed & Breakfast (extra bonus: the B&B is blue!) in Amherst, Ohio. This is a beautiful little town not far from Lake Erie. We had never visited the area, and we were looking…

  • Happy Father’s Day

    Happy Father’s Day

    Happy Father’s Day to a few of the men in my life. To my sweet hubby, despite having no good human role model in your life, you looked to your Heavenly Father as your example of what a real father should be and, because of that, you are a terrific dad! No doubt, you’ll be…

    33 years

    Happy anniversary to my sweet hubby. Marrying him was just about the best decision I’ve ever made. I can truly say I’m a better person because of him. And look, he just loves being a grandpa! That earns him extra brownie points!!! But then, how could he possibly resist? Isn’t she fabulous?

  • Thumbs are important

    Thumbs are important

    I thought I would have most of the day to quilt today, but life often intervenes around here. I got up early and thought I’d get a jump on the day by making a couple of broccoli quiches. That way, breakfast would be taken care of for several days. I also made a huge pot…
