MERRY CHRISTMAS! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This was one of my favorite cards I received this year. It was from one of my husband's coworkers. It was created by NuArt.
"Peace on Earth"--wouldn't that be one of the best presents. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!

Also, I am having a Year-End Clearance sale at my website. Lots of fabrics have been marked down. Stop over and check out the bargains.
Just click on the link located on my website and start shopping.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My grandson made this cute little turkey at preschool. We are so thankful for him. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoys time with family and friends.

I love this quote by Erma Bombeck:

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence. --Erma Bombeck

I also wanted to let you know that my sister is giving away some great items on her blog. We all love free stuff. Just leave a comment with your favorite color and quilt pattern and they could be yours.

New bundles arrived!

Lots of new bundles and kits from Robert Kaufman have arrived. I will try and get them entered into the website this week.

I Love Fall!

I just love the fall trees!

I have one Hydrangea out of 8 that has not stopped blooming. The other seven are dying and this one still thinks it's summer!

Wool Pincushions

I found a wonderful lady named Ellen in Port Angeles, WA that makes these fabulous hand-crafted pincushions. She even sent me a small gift. The cute little bunny on a vintage spool of thread. How cute is she? Thank you Ellen for the thoughful gift. I LOVE IT!

Sorry, the bunny is not available for purchase, but you can find the other adorable pincushions on my website. Since these are all handcrafted, it takes a little longer to get them back in stock. Some variations will occur when reordering.

Butchart Gardens Canada

My husband and I just got back from Seattle, WA celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary. While we were there we took a ferry to the Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island, north of Victoria in Cananda. I believe this must be what Heaven looks like. It was absolutely the most beautiful world-class gardens. The purple flowers were my husband's favorite. It is definitely a must see. I am in love with the island and would love to live there.
