Welcome to Our Simple Country Life's Blog Party. Click on the button above to join the fun!
About the Hearts Family:
- Mrs.Hearts ain't my real name.
- I have been married to Mr.Hearts for a long time - and he won't know you're talking to him if you call him Mr.Hearts.
- Our oldest son is Bookworm - 16 - this is what happens when you let your kids name themselves.
- The middle boy is Eagle Eye - 13 - another example of self-naming.
- Millie is our youngest - 10 - she has changed her name numerous times {of course}.
- We are in our sixth year of homeschooling. It is the best, most life-altering choice we as parents have ever made ... after serving the Lord, of course.
About The Hearts Homestead:
- We have 14 chickens; 7 Barred Rocks and 7 Auracanas. They are often threatened with the stew pot because we do NOT get 14 eggs a day.
- Molly, our golden lab, is 13-1/2 years old ... and acts more and more like she is 91 years old.
- Hobbes, the cat, frequently gets into scraps with other animals so he can come home and get some sympathy.
- Lightning, the fastest hamster we have ever had, is 2 months old and is pure white and as adorable as any rodent can be.
- We live where the sky is clear 58 days of the year ... no joke.
About Mrs.Hearts' Addiction to Quilting:
- I have been playing with fabric and yarn for 3 decades ... { gulp }.
- I began to quilt about 8 years ago.
- I remember clearly when I first fell in love with quilt-shop quality fabric. I was often seen ... fondling ... fabric ... and still am. :}
- The first fabrics I loved were Thimbleberries and 1930s reproductions, and now I am moving toward more modern, brighter designs.
- I have a dream to design my own quilt pattern(s) someday.
- I have more fabric in my closet than clothes.
- I sew nearly ... every ... day.
- I have a little bitty Etsy shop ... Busy Hands Quilts!
Why I blog:
- To let out the many things rattling around in my brain.
- To have a record of all the items I have sewn.
- To hear from others who have similar interests.
- 'Cause I enjoy being creative with my blog layout and design.

So good to meet you, Mrs. Hearts. ;0) I must let you know, I was giggling throughout your post! :0)
Such BEAUTIFUL work! I too, LOVE quilts. Especially old ones! I have a little fetish for rag quilts right now. I hope to one day make my own.

P.S. Love your the hymns you have playing. Just beautiful.
Stopping by from the Country Porch Friends Blog Party. Enjoyed learning about you and look forward to looking around. I used to quilt and loved it!! They are beautiful!
I too have rattlings in my brain. I would love to be able to quilt but I don't think i would have the talent-ie patience -for it, so I admire your work. Nice to meet you!
"Sew" wonderful to meet you Mrs. Hearts. I am a former quilt shop owner so I do know all about obsession with quilts. Sorry to say, that since I have been retired and have moved to AZ, I have not produced too many quilts. In fact, yesterday, I was perusing my quilt books looking for just the right quilt to make for our guest bedroom. I will so enjoy brousing through you blog. Anxious to see to works of your hands.
It's so nice to "meet" you via Esther's blog party. I'm not a quilter, but I love all the pictures from the quilting posts. They're so pretty!
I'm stopping by from Esther's party. I love quilts and sewing when I have the patients for it. I would love to learn how to quilt one day. But for now I'm lucky to get the pieces together :o).
