New Book "Simply Triangles"


Here is a sneak preview of my new book "Simply Triangles"  The release date is in January.  I got the first copy in the mail this morning.  So excited.

Find the triangles in "My Flower Garden".  To order go to Delightful Piecing.

 Every year before Christmas us four ladies go shopping.  I got home and crawled into bed at 3:38am.  We end our day with eating out and setting around a table for about 2 hours.  It is a blast and a day I always look forward to.

                          For those of you who don't know these are my sister-in-laws and my mother-in-law.


 Going to Dairy Queen after the Christmas program. Mom and Dad joined us for the evening.


My all time favorite is a caramel Sunday with wet nuts.

 Straining the lard.

 Sausage links ready to be smoked, ham ready to be cured and more sausage ready to be packaged and put in freezer.


 Canned meat ready to serve for "spur of the moment" company.  Come on over.   
 The Cline family gathering at Pam and Jeff's for Thanksgiving.

 There were three tables so everyone could set down at one time.

 Mom and her fancy card shuffler.  It really is a neat gadget.

 We ladies are enjoying a game of golf.  Thanks Pam and Jeff for opening your home to the Cline family.
