I sewed a 55-inch table topper quilt for the fall. You know, in HOWE (footnote 1) our dining table isn’t that big! HAHA This was a kit that I got while shopping with my friend, Bridget, in Spearfish, SD. I rarely make quilts from kits but this one caught my eye. It will be a... Continue Reading →
We’ll Be Back!!!
Travel Day Apple Valley, UT, to Cottonwood, AZ. We set the alarm for 7:00 a.m. but it was still dark outside. So we slept 1/2 hour more and it was at least light out. We headed out just before 8:00 a.m. and were glad we didn’t leave any earlier as the sun was straight in... Continue Reading →
