Sunday Chat – Autumn with Wildlife, and a Recipe from From My Carolina Home

The Autumn leaves hit their peak around our place this week, just stunning. Using my good camera and zooming in on the valley, you can see the bright gold and orange in the early morning sunlight.

An Unmetered Ode to PreCuts from Quilting Studio Adventures

I love PreCuts. I LOVE them. Buying fabric is expensive. Finding a fabric line by a designer might mean hundreds of dollars. But what if you really love the designer and the fabric line?
