Winter, spring, summer, and fall quilting and sewing projects are all right here.
When I think about Christmas, I think of a well-decorated tree, a fire crackling on the hearth, and, hanging right above the fireplace, a brightly-colored Christmas stocking hanging up and waiting for Santa.

Am I the only one that can already hear the faint sound of “Jingle Bells” in the distance? Fall gives way to winter all too quickly every year, and before you know it, you’ve barely survived Thanksgiving, and the candy canes are once again making their appearance. In the snowy Midwest where I live, the […]
It seems that no matter where you go this time of year, you’re bound to stumble upon what seems like an infinite amount of delicious pumpkin recipes to get you through the fall. However, pumpkins aren’t just great for eating; they’re also the decoration of choice all autumn long! Whether it be Halloween or Thanksgiving, […]
The weather outside may not yet be frightful, but anyone in the Midwest knows what’s just around the corner.

Maybe it’s just a hunger-induced hallucination, but I do feel like I’ve been ready for Thanksgiving since the day after last year’s (What can I say? I’m a food-loving kind of gal!). The best part of Thanksgiving is […]
When I think of fall, I think of flavor. There are so many delicious spices and scents that perfectly sum up the feeling of autumn—the first sip of a Pumpkin Spice Latte, the smell of cinnamon in the air, the taste of a freshly-baked apple pie. As much as I wish I could eat nothing […]
Fall is my favorite time of year, and I sure want people to know it! I think the outside of my house ends up decorated more for autumn than it does for Christmas. I’ve got a scarecrow, pumpkins, a bale of hay—you name it, it’s probably in my front yard right about now. But all […]
