I really enjoy Laurel Burch designs, especially her […]

    Posted on February 1, 2017 by in Blog

    Took this picture a couple of years ago in Barstow CA, which is the inspiration of this month’s flower.  This poisonous, but lovely flowering bush is very common here in Southern California.  As a small child, I remember my mother telling me to not pick the flowers, even though they were pretty because touching the plant […]

    My Road to Tehachapi

    Posted on September 15, 2016 by in Blog

    I have never been involved in an online challenge, although I have taken part in quilt guild challenges.  When Marian of Seams To Be Sew first asked me, this theme popped into my head immediately.
