News(letter) from the Nook Aug. 2018
Can you believe it’s the middle of AUGUST already? Bananas! It’s muggy and hot in Atlanta so I’m happily staying inside, continuing to get my house in order post-renovation and grateful that my kids are already in school so I don’t have to entertain them in this heat. And, yes, we go to school so.Continue reading “News(letter) from the Nook Aug. 2018”

Here I Come, Paducah!
When I was 18, I worked part time (summers, holidays) at a local quilt shop. One of the women that worked there had a quilt hanging in the shop. It was an American flag and the words to the Pledge of Allegiance were in the white stripes. The quilt had been to Paducah and wonContinue reading “Here I Come, Paducah!”
Product Review – QuiKraft Spray Glue
My friend, Charlene, recently introduced me to a new spray glue that is coming to the US later this spring. It’s called QuiKraft Tack by Siliconi. I am telling you, people, that you want a bottle of this stuff! Seriously. You will want this as sewing room staple. It’s fantastic, and I will use itContinue reading “Product Review – QuiKraft Spray Glue”
