Watch for the Joy
What brings you joy? Joy is different than happiness or gratitude. Joy is the spark that happens unexpectedly; it can’t really be planned and sometimes quickly passes. I have a lot for which I am grateful; overall I am a happy woman. But just watching thirty minutes of world and local news can depress anyone.…

National Quilting Day ’26
Happy St. Patricks Day–or as it is known in our family, “the day before Navya’s (our only granddaughter) birthday! This holiday is short lived in home decorating. The valentine wall hangings and table runners have been put away for another year and the bunny rabbits and pastel colors for Easter and spring are out at…

Lion or Lamb
Hopefully March is following the adage “In like a lion, out like a lamb”. We have had cold temps, cloudy days, strong winds and some rain. So, fingers crossed, in three or four weeks we should have warm breezes, sunny days and more rain. (Kansas always needs rain!). But signs of spring are popping up.…
Keep readingTypes of Quilters

The Scrap hoarder–saves even the smallest piece of fabric; it…

Steps and Stitches
I miss walking outdoors with my dog! We have had 6+ inches of snow on the ground since last Sunday. We have had a couple of days with temperatures above freezing in the afternoon with a little melting…but with temperatures dipping at night, the melting snow turns into sheets of ice. And Dog and I…

Snow time is Sew time
Brrr it is cold outside! Temperatures – not the “feels like wind chill numbers” were in the low single digits yesterday. We didn’t receive as much snow as predicted but the 6-7 inches we did get is beautiful. I say this as a retiree with no place I must go. Hats off to those who…

So,You want to learn to Quilt?
Just since the holidays, I have had three opportunities to help someone learn to quilt or sew. The director of the agency where I volunteer is having a new grand baby and wants to make it a quilt. A young Church member has quit her full time job and has time on Wednesday to join…

Catching Up
I look forward to January as much as I do to the holidays–just in a different way. January is a time to catch your breath, finish a few tasks and re-group. This past week I have been playing catch up so I can start enjoying these brief weeks of January and February. I put away…
