Completing my current quilt project has necessitated using a rotary cutter, mat, and ruler. These really haven't been around that long. I was an adult when the rotary cutter for fabric was first created. That makes me feel old!

One issue in my life I have never solved in nearly 70 years is underestimating how much time it's going to take me to get something done.

It's Friday, and my big goal for the weekend is to get my Civil War BOM quilt basted and ready to take on the road next week to start quilting.

Allie and her family settle into life on the prairie.

We're starting a new series about things you can make yourself. Our first entry is mayonnaise.

The lowly steam iron may seem like an unlikely tool of the week, but I used mine a lot this weekend while working on my Civil War BOM quilt top. A good iron is essential for sewing. 

There actually was a water sprinkler cork stopper on ebay! Here's the link:

In short, it depends. Some produce is more cost-effective than others.

Allie is another West Texas pioneer. She and her husband built a homestead on the Llano Estacado.
