A real life Hen Party!

Hello Quilty Friends! One of the fun things that we look forward to every year is our County Fair. The Salem County Fairgrounds are less than a mile from our house, and we just love seeing all the animals, feasting on some great BBQ, and seeing some of the local kids competing in fun events. This year the week was a bit rainy, but we still managed to get over there, have a great BBQ Rib dinner, and see all the animals. I just love the chickens - it was like a real life Hen Party! Aren't they...

Alfie's summer vacation, free Summer Rose embroidery pattern, yummy summer recipe!

Hi there, Quilty Friend! We just got back from a very fun vacation in Maine! We met our youngest daughter up there and spent five wonderful days on Mt. Desert Island, exploring Acadia National Park and the very cute town of Bar Harbor. There was hiking, biking, shopping, and enjoying some wonderful meals together (especially lobster!) And Alfie went too! He does quite well on long car rides, so we like taking him with us. Have you been to Mt. Desert Island? What did you enjoy? 🎄Last week, we...

Paris, Snails and Crepes! 🗼🐌🍓

Hi there, Quilty Friend! 🗼The 2024 Summer Olympics will start later this month - Are you the type who is glued to every event, every hour? Do you just catch the highlights and special human interest stories? Or are you totally not into any kind of sports at all??
