After our most favorite week of the year, we are finally back to work. It's sort of nice to get back to the routine, but I always get so sad when the fair is over. Not only do we have to wait another 51 weeks for the best week of the year, but school starts next week. I think I …
Missing….
If you know us, you know that the first week of August is our favorite week of the year- and we will be at our County Fair for the next few days. I do have a lot of things to blog about- but it will have to wait! I did, however, get a chance to list the fabric kits …
New Subway Art…
Last week my sister promised we would have some new quilting subway art in our shop. We did have it started, but not nearly done! I wasn't aware of the post until I read our blog a couple of days later- which made me get in gear and actually finish it (there's nothing like announcing something to the world to motivate …
OK – I Failed!!

Old School + A Contest
With e-mail, texting, twitter and facebook, does anyone ever write anymore? I've just received 2 party invitaions by e-mail this week plus a save the date for a wedding.

So the big joke –
at our house is my flowers. I always have high hopes every year. I so desire to have beautiful, abundant pots of flowers scattered throughout my yard. And everyone in my family knows that by the time July 4th rolls around all that will be left of my flowers are just brown stems sticking out of the pots. This year, …
