Welcome to my world. I'm tickled pink that you've stopped in to see what's going on here at Blackberry Creek. My interests are quilting, sewing, crochet, knitting, altered books, reading, and cooking. I live in a small southern town where I've lived all my life. I share my life here at The Yellow House with my dog Sophie. I hope you have a good visit and come again soon. --Susan Ramey Cleveland
