Some of you may remember when The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt Book was first published back in 2009. It got really popular in quilting circles around 2013 and 2014 and Quiltstagram exploded with beautiful examples like Camille Roskelley's. While going through things in my little sewing nook, I found a box full of my own... Continue Reading →
Four Finished Quilt Tops?
Friday! It's been such a strange week. I can confidently say that we're on the mend now but I still don't have the lung power to hop on my spin bike, which I've been missing lately. I'm looking forward to having everyone home this weekend without the cloud of illness hanging over us! I was... Continue Reading →
Making | 2022
I don't think of myself as a prolific maker, but goodness - I am eclectic! No wonder I always feel so scatterbrained - I have so many interests and allow myself to get pulled in so many directions. And the following is the result! I've done my best to look at the pictures I've uploaded... Continue Reading →
Mandolin Blocks – 7 out of 20 | Leaders/Enders Project
Welcome to a snowy Friday in New Hampshire! I was expecting to wake up to much more snow but plenty seems to be on the way today. Colton's school preemptively closed last night so we're not expecting to go anywhere and we have a big pot of chili ready to get us through. I hope... Continue Reading →
A Scrumptious Finish
Well hello! I'm here today with a finished quilt that I've been working on since January 2014. No, that's not a typo. It's been in the works for over 8 years!

Friday | Better Week In the Kitchen
Happy Friday, friends. I've spent this week trying to get back on track in the kitchen, reading a ton, and spending as much time outside as the weather has allowed. I even managed around an hour of sewing that produced results, if you can believe that. I can't wait to show you a few things!... Continue Reading →
Snow Day!
Welcome to February! I know that February is hard for a lot of people, but it's my birth month and has always been one of my favorites. Of course -- Februarys in New Hampshire are different than the ones I grew up with in Texas. But this is the month when I really start to... Continue Reading →
A Frigid Week
What a January so far! We've had two sub-zero mornings this week and it has been brisk. I've been surviving on warm drinks, settling in with homeschooling each morning, and dreaming about my garden this year. We've also been doing more cleaning out/rearranging the basement, which continues to confound me. We've only been in this... Continue Reading →
First Friday of 2022 | Kittens, Project Bags, and Quilts – Oh My!
Happy First Friday of 2022! It's still dark as I type this, but I caught a glimpse of snow as I peeked through the porch light this morning. A snow day? I'll take it. If you can believe it, 4/5 of us still have some lingering symptoms of whatever that illness was from Christmas, myself... Continue Reading →
