A reader shared their quilting story:

"I learn to quilt many years ago while living on Guam. It was kind of strange to learn in a place where a quilt's only purpose was to hang around and look pretty. It's the last thing you need in the tropics. It was a craft and I wanted to learn so my friend and I spent many hours with the air conditioner turned down to 60�F and stitched away."

Dear Readers;

When my kids were younger, and even today as they are older, it is with anticipation that they look forward to putting up the holiday decorations. They can hardly wait to unpack the ornaments collected over the years, reminisce about it, and decide where they should be displayed.

In this week's edition, it's all about 'The Holiday Home'. It's one of the only times of the year where we go to so much effort to change our decor to go with a season. 

Here are 5 colourful ideas to spruce up your home for the holidays:
