Today, was a beautiful day! First, I enjoyed a lovely luncheon with forty loving, generous women. Each one is a beautiful quilter.

I love them all, and I can say that with 100 percent certainty. Today when I was driving down my street, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer came on […]
This morning, I had to go up to the attic to find just the right size Christmas tree. I needed the tree big enough to hold forty red hearts. As I looked around at the twenty artificial trees of different sizes, totes of Christmas decorations, many angels, silk holiday flowers, and oh yes, I cannot forget the mountains of wreaths […]
