Happy October! I am so excited that Fall is here! We actually don't experience too much of a "Fall" season here. No trees full of leaves turning gorgeous shades of red, orange and yellow before falling. No crisp autumn air where you can see your breath in the morning. Nope. It's pretty much just a… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 10-4-16 | Quilting the Alpine Quilt

TGIFF: A Moxie Finish!
If you have read my last few posts, you might have noticed that I have mentioned Sarah, of Georgia Girl Quilts, quite a few times. We became fast friends after connecting over conversations about the Brother PQ1500S sewing machine. Which we both have and (I think I can safely speak for Sarah when I say), we… Continue reading TGIFF: A Moxie Finish!
Skill Buildin’ and Vintage Quilt Revival’n
When I wrote this title I had an image flash through my head of one of those old-time Revival preachers dancin' around on a stage, hands raised in the air, preachin' with a drawl plus the added emphasis on the last syllable.
