Orphan Block Quilt for Cold Husband


Orphan Block Quilt for Cold Husband

Our evenings are pretty much replays. Dinner, showers, and a few minutes to catch up on whatever show is on our radar. Quilts come out to keep us warm, but even so we tend to wilt fast. It's a time to relax and unwind, but here's the problem. My husband uses a lot of heavy hand creams and ointments especially in the winter to keep his hands from cracking, and it's hard on my quilts. Instead of me walking into the room panicking that he'll leave big greasy splotches on a good one--might have happened before and was not relaxing for me, I decided to make him his very own. And because it was so unique, he couldn't mistake it.

The Sabbatical Is Over


Sanibel Bridge in the fog

A Long Time Away


Our roles in life change fairly often--perhaps more as women, but more so as care givers. While our families are young, we look forward to the day when each child becomes independent. Ours all did, thankfully, and afterward there were several carefree years. I had time to grow my garden, sew for myself, and quilt for others. I look back at that now as a blissful, golden period.
