Baby quilt & Biscuit Hour

Cutting out squares for a baby quilt commission while reviewing the upcoming episode of the Golden Biscuit Hour. Only a few tweaks to make and it we'll be uploading our "Courtship" Episode! 

New quilt cards!

New square quilt postcards for the new year!! Yummmmmmm! I am so thrilled with how they came out. And here they are, just in time for the show tonight! I got these printed at our favorite local print shop in Seven Lakes, North Carolina -- Harris Printing. They just jump off the cards and the reproduction of the fabric looks so lush and rich. 14 cards - two of each design - for $10. $12 with shipping in the USA. If you'd like some before we make it to your part of the world, you can send a paypal or check. Just message me! International shipping, I will have to check, but I'll be bringing them to Britain and Canada this year. 

Sewing Circle in Barnsley!

Report from Barnsley, South Yorkshire: One of the great things about traveling around sharing our music is that I get to see my fellow sewists! And it just so happened that today was an open sewing day among Joy's quilting group, so I got a start on a little gift for a friend and got to share in a rather decadent birthday cake! 

Thanks very much to all of the folks who came out to Barnsley Folk and Acoustic Night​ to see us! One of our MOST favorite things about touring in Britain is coming to this folk club and HEARING our friends sing . . . rumor has it that we will be going to session tomorrow night in Thurlston . . . our first session ever! 

Next week, I will be posting a brand new song, handwritten lyrics, and a story from our show at the Barnsley Folk Club on our fan club site . . . so now would be a good time to mosey over and put a dollar in the pot for this month so you can hear our new country song. It went down a storm last night and everyone asked who in Nashville was going to cover it! Yikes! We had no idea . . . just got in the mood to write a country song, as you do. https://www.patreon.com/jeniandbilly

Flower Cocoon

Last night, I dreamed that a single flower was trying to bud on a very tiny tree in our yard and I went up and talked to it. I said not to worry and that I would sew it a little quilted cocoon to get it through tonight. It was anxious, but grateful. Getting ready for an ice storm here in Nashville. Billy is getting groceries and I am writing about it. He's a good fella.

Headquarters

Report from a sleep deprived correspondent with tent hair from Naples, FL: Concert at Headquarters Library at 2pm. Wear your own tent hair if you like!

Christmas in North Carolina

Hankins family Christmas -- apple pie with my hand cut pastry stars, the quilt I made for my Dad (Greg), making pie with Mom (Marcella), a new midi keyboard for Billy, and getting to see my lovely sister, Sarah, for the first time in a year! 

Happy Pincushion

My pincushion is so happy! The pins are having a party.
It's recovering from a sewing marathon where I finished a quilt for my neighbor's daughter & made a matching pillow too.
I love December because I seem to sew and sew!
