I've owned my quilt shop since 1990, specializing in antique reproduction fabrics. Made my first quilt in 1976 which greatly reduced my sewing of clothing! Would like to find more time to SEW.......maybe when I retire? Am married to a farmer, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life!!! And now there are 3 great-grandchildren and another due in January 2019!

Hanging Squash
I grew a few squash plants this summer from seeds saved from a particularly good-tasting squash from last year. The vines went everywhere and I let them...........one even climbed a tree! The photo is not too clear, but the squash is hanging more than a foot off the ground!!
Is it big enough to make a birdhous?! Love those gourds and squash! Down here you see purple Martin houses made of them, put up real high....they eat the Mosquitos.
