Leaves, leaves, leaves!

Our fall foliage this year isn’t exactly glorious in appearance.  I am speculating that it is due too much rain.  You know how each year everyone seems to have their own theory as to why the leaves aren’t turning beautifully as in years past, haha.  Nonetheless, we are no lacking in the number of leaves [...]

I am a home machine quilter who had aspired and am still aspiring to quilt more than just in the ditch with straight lines.  In other words, I wanted to quilt like the “grown ups” (those who quilt with longarm machines).  With practice, I think my imitation [...]
