Catching Up

 Good morning from a very hot Texas.

As you’ve noticed, I haven’t written a blog post in 2 years. Why? Many reasons, but primarily, I say what want and need to say, over on Instagram. In the last 2 years, computers have crashed, new one is impossible to work and I have been hacked way too many times.   it’s exhausting ! And I feel like the world is in a mess and it’s terribly frightening  so, I stopped blogging. 

This post is a test, LOL not to see if you comment but to see if I can load photos from the iPad.  You may comment if you want  ; ) 


Ok! I’ve been participating in ModaBlockheads4 and here is block 17, Shoreline by Camille of Thimbleblossoms.  Super cute block in tiny 4 1/2” size. Find the pattern on Moda’s blog or @thimbleblossoms on Instagram. Please visit Camille if you get the chance. 



That’s all I’ve got for now…stay cool and sew!


My little loves,  a few weeks ago. Be still my heart. 

Until next time 

~ Betsy

  1. Hi Betsy, you are one of my favorite bloggers. Glad to see your post. Hope all goes well and hackers retire.

    Love your minnies.
    I turn to clamer past-times because of 'world mess'. Things that make me happy such as sewing, quilting and prays.
    Thanks again for the post. Hope to read more from you.

  2. It looks like your test worked! I've been thinking about returning to blogging lately because instagram is getting to be more and more annoying with ads and reels. This little block is a delight!

  8. Hi Betsy, Good to see you back here! (I had wondered if you had retired?) Your littles have certainly grown since we were last treated to a photo of them.

  12. I've miss your blogs, but completely understand. I'm still following on Instagram, but as someone stated above, they've been messing with it as well. Life goes on. Love your quilts and your fabrics .... when I can get them. Your little grands have really grown!

  13. Unfortunately the world will not get better. Some of us know that Jesus said he would return,. I like your block and the fabric colors. I have stopped buying fabric for now as gas and food are so high for those of us on social security. Enjoy your grandkids. Two of mine are in college while the other two are in high school. The years are sure skipping by.

  15. I do hope you continue to blog. I've kept looking and hoping as I don't use any social media platforms - I think they're too invasive. Elaine

  16. I agree that the world is in such a mess but it's bloggers like you who help us think of something other than our messed up world. Thank you.
