Welcome! I’m excited to be part of the Fall Fortnight Blog Hop hosted by Carole on her From My Carolina Home Blog.
Carole invited several bloggers to join her in a Placemat Blog Hop & Charity Project.. See the links at the end of my post to Hop to other blogs and see what they are making.
Continue readingI’ll admit. I’m addicted to Quilt Alongs. But I’m a bit picky who I’ll follow. Some are mysteries and you have no idea what it will look like when finished. Others show the finished design when it begins. I like those.
In case you are new to Quilt Alongs (QALs), they are frequently online and will offer instructions to blocks or parts of blocks on a regular basis.
Some may issue clues weekly or monthly. Towards the end, if it’s a mystery, you will finally get finishing instructions. They may be offered as a Block of the Month if there are a number of different blocks.
Continue readingI’d like to invite you to join me as I follow Carole’s blog for the next 2 weeks. Her Fall Fortnight begins tomorrow. This will be a busy two weeks which will include a Quilt Along (QAL) for a Scrappy Table Topper, an Embroidery project, and a Wool project to stitch. There will also be an inspiration for setting an Autumn Table and suggestions for making an Autumn Meal. If you are interested in Card Stamping, you won’t want to miss her post.
Give Aways – Her blog will have give-aways from sponsors like Fat Quarter Shop, Sulky Threads and Quilter’s Dream Batting as well as Milk Street Cookbooks, Electric Quilt Software and Juju Embroidery.
A Blog Hop – I am especially excited about her post on Wednesday in which she will be hosting a Blog Hop and I will be one of the bloggers which will be sharing a charity project to spread fall warmth and cheer to those who live alone. I will finally be able to share a project I’ve been working on.
Click over to From My Carolina Home beginning tomorrow at 7:00 am EDT and join the fun!

Continue readingWe woke yesterday morning and it was 46°, plus it was a damp chilly morning. It got me started thinking pumpkin quick bread, soups, chili & cornbread, and pumpkin pie (actually anything pumpkin & spice!).
Over breakfast I checked out a couple of blogs I follow. Most of them are about sewing or quilting but the one that caught my attention is one I’ve mentioned before. In her blog From My Carolina Home, Carole shares her multiple interests- sewing, quilting, embroidery, nature/garden, cooking & more.
Yesterday’s blog was full of yummy recipes such as Pumpkin Orange Bread, Apple Cake Donuts, Butternut Squash Soup, Chicken Chili, Pumpkin Toffee Dump Cake, Cinnamon Toffee Biscotti and more.
It made me want to rush into the kitchen & start making it all! I have made several of her recipes and they don’t disappoint. The pumpkin Orange Bread may be in my kitchen soon!
I hope you enjoy reading her blog and maybe making a few of her recipes.
