Sparkle time

Posted on Dec 19, 2020 by Bernie

The Steps from our Past

Posted on May 6, 2019May 6, 2019 by Bernie

My grandfather, Bowyer Bradford, left England in 1903 for a better life in Canada. He wrote back to his older sister, Lizzie for decades. Sadly the letters are gone but they kept alive a connect with his family in the “old country”. During the

Just One More

Posted on Apr 25, 2019Apr 25, 2019 by Bernie

I keep telling myself I’ll take just one more but somehow it’s too easy to keep going. So now, despite eating up blog space, I must share the best of the them.

This seems to have been a once in a lifetime

A rabbit hole

Posted on Mar 27, 2019Mar 27, 2019 by Bernie

I do live just down the road from a few rabbits so it’s entirely possible that I did fall in one of their homes. But no, that’s not the kind of rabbit hole I found.

TBT to Monograms

Posted on Mar 14, 2019Mar 14, 2019 by Bernie

WIP

Posted on Mar 13, 2019Mar 13, 2019 by Bernie

WIP stands for, in the quilting world, a Work In Progress. Which is different than a UFO, which stands for an Unfinished Object. I think the analogy to life here is quite fitting so read on as it’s not a quilting blog!
