Home! I got home to my house on Sunday late evening. After being gone for over two weeks, I had so much laundry to do. Load after load of it. But before I could do said laundry, I had to unpack all bags and put the store back into organization. (I had taken much of…

We Are Blossoming!
After God and family, I love quilting and designing! And close behind those is my flowers. I miss them so in the winter, but without that time of waiting, I know I would not appreciate the spring flowers near enough. One of my very favorite spring flowers is the poppy. I just love the oranges,…
The Design Progresses… Slowly
My new design is still that… a design. But progress IS being made! I did make the prototype cut… a fancy way of saying that I have cut it out of poster board! My designs fit together like a puzzle, and I am very picky about them fitting together perfectly. When I first started making…
Comparing Ourselves to Others
As I am assembling my “Good Fortune” blocks into rows and ultimately a quilt top, I am learning many things about quilting. I listed some of those in my last post. However, I have to admit that I am learning even more about myself. In the posting of these blogs, and in the viewing the…
Not So Good Fortune, and “Good Fortune” Week 4
Gee, I am re-reading last week’s post, and life seemed so much simpler then. LOL. Isn’t everything in life just relative?

I have been doing a…
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. I have folders on my computer of a couple of the PDF’s from years gone by, hoping that I would make it during another part of the year, but without the deadlines and community,…
Color Palette Inspiration from Nature for Quilting
Heaven is declaring God’s glory; the sky is proclaiming his handiwork. Psalms 19: 1 When I first started quilting, most of the quilting fabrics were “calicos” and solids. There were few “quilt” shops (I don’t think I saw a single one until I was well into quilting and that was in an Amish area almost…
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…
