In the middle of the planning for The Winter Blues I switched blog hosts. I’m not sure all the other bloggers got the updated list. My post can be found at https://beckysquiltsandadventures.blogspot.com/

Cruising into the New Year
The summer after we were married we took our first cruise for our full honeymoon. The travel agency recommended Royal Caribbean and we were so impressed that we’ve stuck with them for all of our cruising since then. Ever since that first cruise we’ve wanted to do another cruise on Rhapsody of the Seas, butContinue reading “Cruising into the New Year”
Do you want to build a snowman?
Fat Cat Patterns makes some of my favorite applique patterns. I have been working on two of her block of the month projects and made several other projects that she designed. With all the projects I had/have underway I really didn’t need another project when Sindy announced that she was doing a free block ofContinue reading “Do you want to build a snowman?”
Forget me Not
My grandfather passed away last year just 5 days shy of his 90th birthday. I wanted to honor his memory by making a quilt for each of his children out of his clothing, so I gathered his shirts-for a frugal man he had a lot of clothing!

When we picked Colonial Williamsburg, we never expected it to become a place we visited repeatedly, but from that very first visitContinue reading “Colonial Williamsburg”
Experiences are the best gifts
Last Christmas my friend Jena and I decided that her kids really didn’t need any more toys so we took them to the Crayola factory. Almost all of my trips growing up were educational, so I’ve always appreciated trips that are both educational and fun They were so excited with all the activities and braggedContinue reading “Experiences are the best gifts”
Welcome Baby Cole
I think that one of my best decisions in life was my choice of college; not because of the education, although that was great, but because I made some of my very best friends in college. There were three of us who worked in residence life together and would often play Trivial Pursuit when oneContinue reading “Welcome Baby Cole”
Introduction
I have toyed with the idea of creating a blog about my two favorite hobbies (quilting and travel) for a long time and decided to take the plunge, so to speak. I’m a history teacher in Pennsylvania and have been quilting for almost 20 years. I also have a severe case of wanderlust; if IContinue reading “Introduction”
