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!

Begonia
Isn't this Begonia just beautiful! Has been hanging on my shop porch all summer but really came back to life when the weather cooled! I take it inside at night but now we have a stretch of 70 degree days coming, prolonging that first frost that I dread! May try to overwinter this plant by cutting back and storing in the cellar.
