Friday I was working on a complimentary block to my Scrappy Arrowhead block. I think I'll call this block "Back to Square One".

I've had to re-sew about a half dozen and use a template to line up… Continue reading An Almost Design Wall Wednesday
A fairly infrequent occurrence in my lovely part of the country are bursts of very intense storms.This happened on Friday afternoon. In about 20 minutes the winds whipped up so severe that whole trees toppled over and large limbs fell. I was driving home when the storm hit and I pulled over in a sheltered… Continue reading Big Day Yesterday
