The Day That Got Away -

There are some days that just run amok.

Run Amok.  I love that term!  It looks weird, 

Do people even use this phrase anymore, or did it go the way of Jane Austen and maybe Agatha Christie?

Fill Up Those Porch Rails!

When every available space on the side porch is full - we've got one bang up of a quilt show!

This was such a productive and fun group and the quilts coming out of this group are phenomenal.  Just look at that color array!

So I upgraded to build a new front page on another builder. This one cost more, but you know. How hard could it be?
