Quilt by Lisa England

Joen Wolfrom | December 15, 2009

misc 302Wow! What a gorgeous quilt!  A few weeks ago we asked you to send us some pictures of quilts.  Lisa England, from Ashland, Kentucky, created this stunning quilt Elegant Star for her home’s foyer. We understand why this is Lisa’s favorite quilt. The original design is by Sharon Rexroad; it can be found in Sharon’s book Pineapple Stars: Sparkling Quilts, Perfectly Pieced. Thanks, Lisa, for sharing this with all of us.

Christmas In A Small Town

Joen Wolfrom | December 11, 2009

As I sit here listening dreamily to Ricky Tims’s Christmas in a Small Town, I realize I would be remiss if I did not let you know about this album. If you do not have Christmas in a Small Town, you’re missing the most beautiful Christmas album created in this decade.  Ricky’s musical talent offers us a refreshing blend of old traditional favorites, rarely-heard ancient carols, and a wonderful new Christmas  song by Ricky. You will want to listen to this album over and over again. Accompanied by other vocalists and musicians, Ricky’s beautifully arranged musical renditions simply make one’s soul sing.  Ricky Tims has given us a truly beautiful Christmas gift―the sharing of his stunning musical brilliance. Listen and enjoy! Merry Christmas.

You may listen to Christmas In a Small Town at www.christmasinasmalltown.com. On this website you can see beautiful winter photos, listen to music, learn about the music, download the music, and purchase a CD.  Treat yourself to this wonderful Christmas album. You’ll find yourself humming and singing with it, as you prepare for your Christmas celebration.

Viliya's QuiltKaye Prince from Toronto, Ontario, Canada made this very sweet quilt for a dear little baby girl named Viliya. Hence, the name of this quilt is Viliya.
