Edit: OK .. the word is posy and it means flower.
I’m not going to do a quilt in May or June because (1) I’m not seeing a lot of finished quilts from April so I don’t want to start another one in May til you all catch up and (2) I’m going to be [...]

After the first night in the hotel, things were calm and uneventful. We had nice quilters staying all around us and we talked to them at night.
The quilts in the show were outstanding, as usual. I’m always amazed at the amount of talent and work that goes into those quilts. I cannot [...]

The local quilt shop has a class once or twice a month for making cards. I think it’s more of a “get together” than a class. All supplies are furnished, we pay $10 per class and we make 10 cards - 2 of 5 different cards. These are the cards [...]

I save everything! As I unpack, I continue to find funny little things that I stuck in a drawer, or in a box. This incident wasn’t so funny when it happened but it’s funny now. It was probably 4 years ago . . Chad would have been about 15. He wanted [...]
