my weekend
We went away to a wedding this weekend. It was so lovely. The bride was beautiful, the space was beautiful. The food was great and the dance was great. I got to see so many people that I hadn’t seen for so long: what a blessing! I got some great pictures of family: These are a …
grads and weddings
Life converges sometimes and things kind of all come together. We were blessed to be invited to two special events this weekend. The first was a wedding, for my cousin. So I made the card above, with a red rose for love. Steve helped. Then our dear church friends’ son graduated. This card has a real tiny tassel …
Inchie Quilts
Every so often I browse through the quilting section at the library and see if there are any interesting quilting books.

And look at these: brown with a pattern of wild pink and purple horses running on them. Theme song break: Yes, that is my boots’ theme song! They …
egg in the forest
