What thimble do you find works best for you. I still love the metal ones...probably cause, that's the kind my grandma used and taught me to use.

We have had some spectacular sunsets this…

It was a short week, due mostly to a medical procedure, part of my preventative care. (That's the "inside" part.) However, that's over, and all is well.…

Hi all! 

Looking at the last time I posted I was shocked to see it’s been almost 2 years! I do pop in from time to time to see what everyone has been working on! 

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and finding time to do some quilting!

One of my latest quilts I quilted for a customer a few months ago! …

People are starting to say their goodbyes to me.
