A Time to Rest?
Still looking toward a time to rest. Just around the corner I think?
"An Appointed Time" fabric collection

Smell the Coffee
Take time to smell the coffee! Isn’t that how the phrase goes? Yesterday, I was able to do just that. I enjoyed a visit with a couple of dear friends and a cup of coffee on a rainy afternoon. A nice retreat from the heavy work regime. We all agreed it had been too many months between what use to be a more frequent occurrence. This post is for you Roxanne!
Fun to Fruition
Speaking of fall…….
Last April I had the privilege of working with Fons & Porter’s “Love of Quilting” on a couple of Halloween projects. Featured in their Sept./ Oct. issue, which just hit news stands, is my “Hair-Raising Halloween” fabric and projects. Kits for the quilt are available through F & P and fabric is in quilt shops now for both of these fun home/party decorations. Fabric-Quilting Treasures. Quilter-Elizabeth Cechettini.
The banner is an easy, no sew project that even a non quilter like me was able to construct. Not a bit scary, well a little, but I hope you’ll still try one. Step by step instructions are included in the issue. I can’t wait to put both of these vintage inspired items to good use for the tiny goblin guests this fall season.
Is It Fall Yet?
As a kid the summer break, naturally was my favorite but now, blacht! The heat, the humidity, the bugs! What’s to like, I ask you? A tan? Oh yes, and homegrown tomatoes. At this stage of life, summer anymore, to me, is scary. August, hmpf, one month to go.

Happy Birthday Jackie! Have your cake and eat it too.
Home Growns
Artist friend Beth Yarbrough has a new blog, “Sweet Tea Gazette.” Her garden’s harvest reminded me of my favorite thing about summer, which we share, tomatoes! My first fabric line, “Home Grown” was inspired by the delicious, can’t be beat, bright red beauties. My dad always had a garden full of them.
