It’s Getting Crazy
As you may have read in some of my previous posts (here, here, here, here, and here), I’m working on a crazy quilt. I got a lot done on it over the weekend. My original plan for the quilt involved sashing the 12-inch blocks in a dark grey – something like Kona Cotton in Charcoal. …

The Gibson County Extension Homemakers held their annual Achievement Day on Thursday May 3rd. My club was in charge of the decorations. Since the banquet is on a Thursday, I didn’t get to go. Not all homemakers are stay at home – I have a job. But the club did get together on Wednesday night…
