I can't believe how quickly this year is flying by. Just wanted to post a few photos of a quilt and reversible pillow I made, and donated to a fund-raising event. I must admit, I was secretly hoping that no one would place a bid so I could bring them b

Wanted to show a couple of ornaments I made using a few of the corks we have collected over the years. Saw something similar for sale at $15 each in a retail shop. They were very easy to make, but a bit messy with the glitter. (I had forgotten that bit

First attempt at quilting - this is my first "test" piece, and I turned it into a table top/mat. I've been wanting to try this type of quilting pattern for a long time, but had not had enough scraps or thorough enough instructions to do it. I'

Steamed Loaves - Was finally able to get some All-Bran, to try out Shirley's (saproctor) recipe. However, by the time I got the cereal, all the raisins were gone! So, no fruit this time. Didn't have any regular soup cans either, so I used some larger

Irish Harp Sweatshirt - made this shirt about 4 years ago. It has been worn and washed many many times and still looks pretty good. This harp design is really lovely, and I think it came from Advanced Embroidery. Thx.
