If Anyone Needs Me.....


You know those days where you feel like you didn't accomplish anything?

But you really did?

This is me over the next few days with plans to have it all caught up over the coming weekend.

Ruler orders arrived (after selling out the first time) from my distributor while I was at my dad's, and I walked into just what I was expecting.

Time to make some tea, turn the music on and get started!

Back To Ole Virginny -


Good Morning and Happy Veteran's Day!

I already know I'm going to need a nap.

I got home after midnight, my mind was so wired I had the hardest time getting to a deep sleep - 

I also needed another quilt on the bed!

Throwing myself from Arizona sunshine into Appalachian Autumn with Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away can be rough.

Welcoming November!


We were graced by the most beautiful autumn weather this past weekend.

A bit crisp in the mornings, warming up with sunshine in the afternoon - afternoon porch time still wonderful - 

I even ended up with quilt retreat fairies changing the clocks back an hour for me on Sunday morning!

There are several clocks - and even the microwave clock was attended to.

(It's more than I can say for my own house! LOL!)

Tropical Twist Through The Weekend!


How do we unwind at the end of a workshop day?

Now that porch season is behind us and we enter November, you'll find close to half of the retreat relaxing in the Hen Den!

It's not cold enough to have that gas stove blasting, but it's still cozy and a great place to gather.

It's the perfect place for reading, catching up on the socials on your phone, doing a bit of binding or embroidery, or just sitting and chatting without the hum of machines as your background soundtrack.
