National Pizza Day – February 9th
Make, it Order it, Just have Pizza
Or as I like to call it,
No Cooking Tonight, it’s Ordered!
February Fun Holiday’s
I did a bit of research to why National Pizza Day and I am pretty sure it’s a retail pizza owner started holiday and I love that.
Something about crust, sauce and cheese ! Add something fresh on top and you have me at hello. Remember, pizza has been around since the 10th century and here in American since 1905.
Most information I found states that you have to have TWO slices to be officially celebrating…and that’s easy ! LOADS of shops in our area have specials, look around, go, eat or make it at home.
Happy National Pizza Day 2023

Quilts Pics from Our Travels
Quilts Aging Well
When we travel I take pictures of quilt. I “ALWAYS” ask before taking pictures, to date I have not had anyone say, “NO” and most say thanks for asking.
I ONLY purchase quilts that I feel can be used and washed, there are loads of quilts to look at here at the house. It’s me…clean is clean, washed in machine, gentle and line or in drier till damp and then on line.
These 2 quilts are from a Shop in Chillicothe, MO
Notice the red’s and how it’s the color that has stayed the best over the years. I didn’t purchase these quilts, wish I had…
This is a simple 16 block square, each square was cut 2″ x 2″
for a finished block of 6″ x 6″, quilting had been recently done by machine, blocks were also machine pieced. I’ll draw this quilt block up and share soon !
Baskets set on point with out squares with lots of quilting

Every Quilt Has a Story – Perfect Square
Square Perfect a Quilt Pattern Book
This is a simple quilt pattern made with squares, using just three colors, and doing it red, white and blue, the colors pop.
It’s not the red and blue, it’s the white that will make any colors POP. You can use any two colors and white, result will be wonderful.
This quilt’s story started when we lived in Nebraska. Husband had a grocery store and always worked every holiday. After the boys left, I seemed to have very long holidays. This is one of the July 4th weeks.
Holiday parties and get togethers are not that much fun when you arrive hours late when Husband is available and others are about partied out. I have helped way to many hostesses clean up. After a few of those, I decided, home and make a quilt.
This quilt was used before it was quilted, I machined pieced it and had it long arm quilted after we relocated to Florida.
Square Perfect makes a finished quilt that measures, 108″ x 98″ a Perfect KING size quilt. Instructions to make each row and complete how to make each square design as shown in the pictures.
Complete instructions to make this quilt are in the PDF download and printed book. There is also a pieced square border on the outside edge. How to make a four-patch quilt block
I have set a goal for myself to get things on Etsy, in Print and as eBooks. The process of designing and making quilts is my favorite. But…the goal is to get my quilt pattern out to you all ! ! ! and here is what I have been doing. My New Quilt Pattern Book –Etsy and Amazon
Square Perfect a Quilt Pattern in Red, White and Blue, but only if you want it to be, you can use any three colors It’s a holiday of colors no matter what colors.
Complete cutting and piecing instructions are given. Square Perfect makes a finished quilt that measures, 108″ x 98″ a Perfect KING size quilt. Instructions to make each row and a complete how to make each square design as shown in the pictures. Beth Ann’s Books
