Heirlooms by Ashton House: HOME AGAIN
http://heirloomsbyashtonhouse.blogspot.com/2015/05/home-again.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. I just got back from the whirlwind that is Spring Quilt Market. I got back just in time to catch the series finale of Mad Men. What a brilliant way to end the show with the Coke ad- at first I thought it was a bit ambiguous but then I totally got it. But I digress! Magazine). Gretchen and Leah did a great job setting it up. Gretchen is one of the three founders of the magazine, and Leah is the daughter of one of the other founders (Judy). That's all I have time to share today tod...

Heirlooms by Ashton House: FABRIC STORAGE SOLUTION AND AN IMPROMPTU GIVEAWAY
http://heirloomsbyashtonhouse.blogspot.com/2015/07/fabric-storage-solution-and-impromptu.html
Friday, July 24, 2015. FABRIC STORAGE SOLUTION AND AN IMPROMPTU GIVEAWAY. THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. I used some colorful mat board from my local crafts store and my Sizzix Fabi Cutter to create them. Here's what they look like once they're cut. For the fat quarter wrap, you simply wrap the fabric around the mat board, starting with the back side. The fat quarter wraps fit neatly in a typical photo storage box that you can get at crafts stores. To help you get started organizing your own fabric and to ...

Heirlooms by Ashton House: April 2015

Monday, April 27, 2015. JUNKING AT THE JUNK JUBILEE. It's been a year since I've attended the local Junk Jubliee, so I was in the mood to rediscover its many treasures. Of course, this booth filled with quilted treasures from the past caught my eye. This quilt in my favorite color combo of pink and brown was too expensive for my pocketbook but it was a delight to see. Can you imagine having enough trinkets and treasures to fill this massive antique tool holder? Posted by Heirlooms by Ashton House. One of...

Heirlooms by Ashton House: December 2014
http://heirloomsbyashtonhouse.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Can it be that time of year already to wish you a merry Christmas? As usual, I'm scrambling to get things done right up until the last minute. I didn't even get my holiday cards sent out in time. I might just have to start a tradition of sending them out AFTER the holidays. We won't get our wish for a white Christmas this year but here's a past snowy snapshot of our home to satisfy our dreams for a white Christmas. And here are a few favorite holiday gifts I received this ye...

Wednesday, September 24, 2014. So happy that autumn has officially arrived! I love this time of year. Not even a rainy day like this can get me down for it's nice and cozy inside Ashton House. There's a sweet cuddly kitty named Poe to keep me company as I write my magazine articles. As you can see in the below photo, his hair is growing back nicely after his July surgery. There is another batch of healthy pumpkin cookies fresh from the oven for my hubby to take to share with his coworkers tomorrow. The p...

Sunday, May 31, 2015. MORE SCENES FROM QUILT MARKET. Here's blog post 2 of Quilt Market. Had hoped to be back sooner, but shortly after returning from Quilt Market, I had to head off to Kansas City for the National African Violet Convention. And between the trips, I hosted a fish luncheon for Memorial Day and went to the local symphony's patriotic performance featuring Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring. And musical hits from Saving Private Ryan. I'm a big fan of Bunny Hill Designs and love to use their ...

Heirlooms by Ashton House: MAGAZINE PHOTO SHOOT
http://heirloomsbyashtonhouse.blogspot.com/2015/08/magazine-photo-shoot.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Well, I survived the magazine photo shoot at my house! We spent an evening washing my collection of blue-and-white china on the shelves in the kitchen window wells. Our organizing even inspired me to bring out some of the pieces that had been languishing behind cupboard doors and drawers and give them a spotlight in the kitchen. One example is my collection of vintage-inspired cookie molds, below. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at what happened at the photo shoot. Jacob, the ...
