WELCOME to the "ALL ABOUT ME" page. There's a lot to see from
this page; so take off your shoes and make yourself at home.
You might want to take an overview of the whole page before you start.
Oh, and by the way, have some lemonade while you visit!


Hello, my name is Linda and I am married to a wonderful husband.
His name is Steve. We live in Ohio and have been blessed with two
children, Angela and David. We have 9 grandchildren.  As you will
 see from the items below that I am a very busy gal. I love to do all kinds 
of crafts.  Below is just a sampling of some of the things I have done over 
the years.  I hope you enjoy the pictures.

**NOTE**--Because there is so much to see, I have tried to make
traveling between all these pages as easy as possible, so just
watch for directions at the bottom of the linked pages. You can go
from one page to the next within each section without coming back
here first. Hope this will help your visit to go more quickly.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily,
as to the Lord, and not unto men;"
Colossians 3:23

I love quilting and have several pictures to show of what I have made.
Click on the thimbles below to see what they look like  

This quilt was made for our Christian school quilt auction. It is called the
"Ohio Rose".  I appliquéd and pieced together this quilt top and a friend quilted it.
This wall hanging is called a Bow Tie pattern.
These next four "Little Quilts" are from the quilt book entitled: 
"Little Quilts All Through The House", written by Alice Berg, Mary Ellen 
Von Holt, and Sylvia Johnson.  You can purchase this book through Amazon.com.

I used to do a lot of cross-stitching in my younger years; mostly just making
 pictures and giving them for gifts. I have trouble seeing to do too much 
of this type of craft now. Here are a couple of pictures that are in my home.
I would recommend very highly the Leisure Arts pattern books as they are
coded in color and very easy to read and understand.

This "Victorian House" picture was probably the hardest and most involved for me to do.
My daughter, Angela, made this "Betsy Ross" picture when she was in high school.
Here is a page of assorted small cross stitch "Friends" I have made.

    The following pictures are just a sample of other kinds of crafts which  
I have made and think you would enjoy seeing.

A couple of cute angels
A fabric wreath
Plastic Canvas Door Art

Just one of the many things I do is to make wedding cakes. My friend, Bertha,
 and I have probably made well over 100 in the last 10 years. I have included a
 couple of pictures of two of the more elaborate ones that we have done. They look
 good enough to eat, but no tasting here!! Click on the wedding cake above.

When I have a few spare hours, I love to do jigsaw puzzles. My favorite ones are the Charles Wysocki's Americana puzzles.  Click here to see what his pictures look like in my site.

Reading books is also a favorite pastime of mine. My favorite authors are Al Lacy, Janette Oke, and Gilbert Morris. I never knew history could be so interesting until I started reading the "House of Winslow" series and the "Appomattox Saga" series by Gilbert Morris. CLICK HERE for more information on them and other Christian writers.

    For those of you who are interested in what my family looks like, you will find the 
pictures below. And don't forget -- there will be lots of graphics & music 
on these pages too that you will not want to miss!!!
