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/

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”

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?”

My grandfather passed away last year just 5 days shy of his 90th birthday.

There were three of us who worked in residence life together and would often play Trivial Pursuit when oneContinue reading “Welcome Baby Cole”

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”
