All Quilted Out!


I waved the Brown Bird Bee off this morning - cars packed with all of the quilting things they brought for a Wednesday to Tuesday fun filled retreat!

And while there has been frost on the grass the past couple of mornings, the afternoons have been lovely and we were able to get everyone on the porch for photo taking - even if sweaters and sweatshirts were required.

It's that bi-polar time of year. Cold in the mornings, lovely in the afternoons.  Dressing in layers, and welcoming hot beverages to warm our hands!

Festival! PDF Pattern Gift-Away!


Happy Monday, folks!

We had our first frost over the weekend, and it looks like our warm fall is making its way out of here.

There is still some color left on the trees, but I know it won't last too much longer - 

But let's keep the warm and cozy going with a new PDF pattern release and a Gift-Away!

Friday In A Nutshell -


Five Rows Down!

On a day where I drove nearly 2 hours one way to pic up my new glasses at Costco in Winston-Salem, I was still able to get a bit of sewing in.

Not much, but I still see progress, and I'm thrilled with how this traditional design is coming along.

I also chose the alternate route to travel giving me more views of the gorgeous autumn splendor as I worked my way down from the mountains to the piedmont.

I think we are at peak color now, or close to it, and with last night's bit of storm and wind, it's falling.

All On A Brown Bird Thursday!


Mark this date.  Or yesterday's date as that is when I took this photo.

And today, too - as the temperature won't be that much different but tomorrow we will have highs in the 40s.

We've got to soak up as much porch time as possible!

I was invited to a yummy lunch on the porch yesterday and there was no way I was going to say no. 

Mid-October porch time is just awesome!
