I have been a fan of buffalo check for many years, long before it became a popular modern farmhouse staple. At least two master bedroom decors ago, I had a black and white buffalo check duvet made. That was long before we took pictures of everything we made, or ate or every place we visitedContinue reading “Buffalo Check Quilt”

My husband the NASCAR driver….
…..well for about 5 minutes anyway! I think my husband’s love for all wheeled vehicles started with his matchbox car collection which still holds a valued place in his home office. When he was growing up he would help his father work on cars any chance he got. As a teenager he and his friendContinue reading “My husband the NASCAR driver….”
An Obsession and a New Adventure!
Last fall when I was facing surgery and knew I would be laying low for about 12 weeks to recover, I decided to purchase a new sewing/embroidery machine. Since I already own two sewing machines I really purchased it more for the embroidery capabilities than anything else……..except for that self-threading needle!!!! Pretty sure I decidedContinue reading “An Obsession and a New Adventure!”
Quilts for the Triplets
As many of you know I have been blessed to be a grandmother to six adorable children, three of which are seventeen-month old triplets. They are so darn cute and so fun now that they are toddling around but I might be a little biased. I have made all my grandchildren handmade quilts when theyContinue reading “Quilts for the Triplets”

Today was a glorious, sunny day and I wanted to find some activity to get outside and enjoy the weather. I have been noticing that several of my neighbors have been veryContinue reading “Fabulous Fall”
New Patio and Firepit
We built our current house twenty years ago this November and over the years have often thought it would be nice to have a bigger patio area than the standard builder’s size that was installed originally. Last winter we finally drew up a plan and obtained a few quotes. We made our final decisionContinue reading “New Patio and Firepit”
Strip Quilt
Before my grand daughter Aria was born I made her a gender neutral quilt because her parents chose not to find out if they were having a boy or girl. My daughter Kayla decorated the nursery with a cute mint/gray color scheme that I matched for Aria’s quilt. You can read about that quilt here. InfantsContinue reading “Strip Quilt”
Two Weeks In
A couple of my former co-workers asked what I had been doing these first two weeks of retirement so I thought I would share. First of all I have been much busier than I thought I would be, I have been: eating popsicles; eating frozen custard; Trying to swim in the water table; Running atContinue reading “Two Weeks In”
