• Primitive? Me?

    I just received my second issue of Primitive Quilts.    Have you seen this new magazine yet?  It’s put together by a group of really creative ladies and I do mean creative.  It’s so well done I find that I’m enjoying the magazine a lot.  I signed up for a 2 year subscription! If you border between “Prim” and traditional style…

  • About 60 miles down the road

    Jump in the car, drive about 60 miles down the road and you’ll  get the concept of how far the tornado took Jeaneane’s quilt.  Judging by what that tornado did to her house the chances of a quilt making it that far in one piece must be a million to one!

  • Henrietta Block Eight!

    I’ve posted block eight of Henrietta Whiskers a little early for my blog readers! Henrietta’s showing off more of her neighborhood this month.  Rumor has it that the people who live in this house feed Henrietta peanuts. And that sometimes Henrietta brings along a friend… or two… or three… …and they all “pig” out together! Good thing I didn’t put…
