Trees Up! 

I have always wanted to try my hand at a wonky block quilt, so when one of my favorite local quilt instructors, Jeanne Brenner, decided to offer this class, I hopped on it.  

Most of the time I don't take a class to learn a new technique, but to motivate myself to get something done.   With working fulltime, and having twelve grandchildren, I don't always make time for quilting.   If I take a class I will make the preparations, and get the homework done.

  I love seeing what everyone is class has brought for the project.   You always see new gadgets, new ways of organizing quilty stuff and ohh my! the amazing fabrics.

It is fun to oooohhh and awwwww, over other peoples fabric choices and to see how different the projects turn out.


I go to my second class on Saturday afternoon and I still have a lot of homework to get finished, but I have plans to burn the midnight oil.


I will share the finished projects and you can see what I mean about variety. 








Need some motivation?  Try signing up for a class.


Happy Quilting!

What a Great Meal!

On the way to visit family, we always stop at a little whole in the wall called "Deal's Famous Oyster House". They are located just outside of Perry, FL When you walk in the door, the shuckers standing at the bar all say "Some of the best people in the world walk through that door." And at first glance the place is not impressive, but let them bring you their seafood platter and you are hooked. My husband says they have the freshest raw oysters and their crab cakes are awesome.

They also bring you these cute little hush puppies and a squeeze bottle of homemade guava jelly to squirt on them. Delish! Definitely worth finding. If you are ever in Perry, FL.

There Is Nothing Like it!

I know everyone must be tired of my camping stories that begin with "Here is our new camper!". But seeing as we have traded up again, here it is. We were finding that our Surveyor was just a bit too small if we got stuck indoors due to the weather and we got a great deal on the new one. We took it out for the inaugural trip a couple of weeks ago. Where did we go? Can't you guess? North Ga! It is one of our favorite places. And if you ask the locals everyone there is from Florida. I just wanted to share a few pictures and write a few words about the wonderful time we had.

A Wonderful Friend!

I have a couple of wonderful friends. I know some of you are saying "She has a friend?". Yes more than one in fact. But recently. I received this wonderful gift. The hand quilting hoop and stand. Thank you, Wade and Margaret for thinking about me. Wade found this at a garage sale and brought it to me. As you can see I am back at it.

I won't even try apologize for my long absence, but just sum it up in one word, LIFE.
