Good grief! Is Christmas really only a little over two weeks away??? I am SOOO far behind this year!

Quilting Letters into Your Borders
I make quite a few t-shirt quilts, and I love to quilt the borders with information about the t-shirts that are in the quilt. For the high school quilts, I like to put the person’s full name on one border, the high school name on another, and “Class of …” on a third. Activities can…
Bonnie Hunter’s 2018 Mystery Quilt, “Good Fortune”
I have considered doing a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt for many years now, but joining just before Christmas was a hindrance.

The Journey Does Indeed Begin!
He refreshes my soul. He guides me along paths for his name’s sake. Psalm 23:3 Retirement… A time to step back, relax, take life easy. That is what we like to think the definition is, but is it? Or is it a clean slate to start doing that which you have been building within your…
