While Christy was navigating she saw on the map Daniel Boones boyhood home. (At least where he was born) It wasn't far off the route at all.

The weather, at long last, has cooled off a bit! Brisk mornings and clear blue-sky afternoons with a slight breeze have been the norm around here this past week; it's a welcome relief~ I'm SO ready! The Dahlias are putting on a colorful show right now. We made another trip north to New England a week ago, a quick back and forth to avoid Labor Day traffic, it's all good. My mother had been

read moreWe've been on a road trip to the Lakes Region of NH. Spent time with Mom and Dad for both Father's Day and my mother's birthday this past Tuesday. This photo is from five years ago. There have been a lot of changes since 2019. Mom can't physically navigate much anymore, she's a good deal weaker than I've ever seen; it's so hard to watch this happen. But, on the bright side, at 91 and 96 they're

read moreSo, this is a post about Quiet Time. As you can tell from this photo, there's lots of resting and quiet time going on here. This was taken at my parents' home in New Hampshire last week. It was Augie's first road trip and he did extremely well in the car; you would have thought that he was a seasoned road-tripper! He rested nicely on his back seat platform and did what he was supposed to do

read moreHello Everyone,
I still have a lot of pictures to show from the Badlands Quilters Retreat in Medora, ND. Today I'm showing pictures from my 2-day Country Sampler class.
This is especially helpful when you want to change sashings and borders or make a row-by-row quilt or when you are working on a round robin quilt.
The class made all of the same components yet look how different the ...
