This past week, I went to my Guild’s Retreat in Asheboro, NC which is in a much more hilly landscape than the Sandhills where I live. It is so calming to leave the sand and pine trees behind and enter a world of rising hills, streams, and at this time of year, beautiful color. The [...]

This quilt was pieced by my bee, the Queen Bee. It’s for Karen who had knee replacement recently and is going through the painful rehab.
