February Class

Hello everyone, hope you all are enjoying Sunshine and warm temperatures...I can tell the days are getting longer and that means spring is just around the corner...

I have this "cute" little block for our class. it is so much fun to make and easy...really it is...you can use a layer cake or if you don't have a layer cake just cut 10" squares from your stash. I have chosen a neutral fabric for my background. I like the way it ties it all together...

I have several blocks made, but haven't decided just how I want to set it together...I have several ideas. But I think I will wait until class and let you all help me decide. That's right in this class we will play with design...

So mark your calendar for February 28th

Class begins at 10:00 am (central)

Class fee is $25.00

Call 931-863-8362 or email at bbstowers@gmail.com to reserve your spot...

Thanks again to all those who continue to support us at the Barn. 

Love you all & see you at the "barn"

Merry Christmas

Hope everyone has all those Christmas projects completed and all wrapped up...As for me, lets just say I still have one more day!  You see I don't stress so much anymore about the Holidays...I look forward to time with family. We all will gather on Christmas Eve at my Mothers house, when we all arrive with spouses, children, and grandchildren it is a FULL house.

Our traditions have changed a little over the years. We now have a traditional breakfast meal of country ham, tenderloin, biscuits, gravy, fried potatoes, and fried eggs...yum! yum!

Then when the kitchen is all clean we get to the gifts...which is mostly for the little ones & Mom of course...She loves having everyone back home...And she loves getting gifts.

Sometimes we walk up the street to the neighbors house where we spent a lot of time as kids...it's so good to see Ms. Doris & her family...Love them all!

Whatever your plans are this Christmas I hope that you have family and friends to share it with and remember the "Reason For The Season" with Joy in your heart.

May God Bless each of you and keep you safe..

A Quilter's Day Out!

This weekend the CEO and I took the day off and had a little fun...

We left early Saturday morning and drove down to Oak Ridge.

Where we met up with the Silver Threads & Golden Needles Quilt Group for lunch.

They introduced us to "The Soup Kitchen"  where the food was wonderful..Homemade soups, bread, salads & desserts...We will certainly be going back!

Next we presented a Trunk Show of a few of my quilts. 

They were all so wonderful. Then they surprised me with a gift that is perfect.

Thank You Sew much ladies..I Love it...

From there we came back to Rockwood  where the city was having their Holiday Tour of Homes!

Our first stop was the home of a quilter....Not just any quilter. But my friend Shirlie.

Her home was so warm and inviting...Oh! And there were a few quilts..

How cute?

Thank you Shirlie!

Then we went "antiquing" where we found a few treasures...

I love theAluminum trees....then I found a topper that I had to have...

Mother had one of these when we were kids...and it even works..on the way out the Carolers were coming in...

It was a great day...and now I'm inspired to do some decorating of my own...

A Quilters Home

On a recent trip to Cookeville I stopped in to visit my dear friend Marlene...

You could tell it was the home of a quilter, from the moment you get out of your car....

The porch was so inviting...

I kept looking for the pitcher of lemonade!!

Right inside was beautiful quilts everywhere...

Then she showed me her amazing studio....

It was wonderful...and sew organized...

Even her works in progress.  Were all ready to pick up and sew...

Droooool.

Who wouldn't want to stay and sew here?

Then on my way out I saw this CUTE sign

Sew sweet & true....

I have discovered that with all the photos and drooling I failed to get a picture of my friend.....can you believe that??   I guess I'll have to go back....thank you Marlene for sharing your space with me... And the limeade...(wink)
