Good Morning!

Hope everyone is having a good day. I've been working on key chain wristlets and lanyards, but took a break to make two novelty baby quilts. I'm not good at binding, so not certain about the finish. Will post when completed. Have a great Tuesday!

It's Memorial Day!

It's a beautiful day. Time to think about the men and women who served our Country, including my husband. He is a Disabled Veteran who had two strokes last year, but has great memories of his Service. I'm still sewing and quilting and trying to sell. Have a great day!

Good Morning!

Good Morning!  It's been a while since I blogged; just been busy quilting and babsitting.  Got to love those grandkids!  I have three orders I'm working on -- a Memory Quilt, a bible tote, and a Market Bag.  I'll post photos when they're completed.
I have been updating a Facebook page.  Hope this link works....  https://www.facebook.com/groups/628790900519949/

Newest Endeavor!

I'm not sure what I got myself into, but I'm starting a new endeavor.  Our Senior Center has expanded its Gift Shop and needed someone to man it.  So, I volunteered -- what was I thinking? lol.  It will be open from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm.  Since I'm already at the Center on Wednesday & Thursday, I just added three days to my schedule.  The good thing is I can sew in the Quilt Room; when customers show up, I just walk across the hallway.  And the better thing is we've already had customers!    When I can find the camera cord, I'll post some photos I took this morning.  I'll post an update from time to time.  Seriously, this will be fun!

Mystery Quilt

A couple years ago, I did a Mystery Quilt in one of my groups. When I put it together, it came out wrong. It is now a UFO, lol. However, I tried again a few months ago. One of our members is doing a Mystery Quilt; we get a round once a month. So far, I've done five rounds. Here are photos of round 1 & 3.

Heart Candle Mat

It's pretty today, but overcast. What happened to our pretty weather?
As some of you know, I'm in eBay quilt groups. I love them all! I find support, guidance, education and fun. I love to join the challenges. In one of my groups, there is a challenge to make one item every month for Christmas gifts; this month we had to make a heart candle mat. It's so easy! Tomorrow I will post about a Mystery Quilt I'm doing in another group.
Have a great day!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. I remember all the wonderful days from years past. In my youth, we went to my grandparents house in Louisiana. My mother was the youngest of 6 siblings; all were still living at the time. Grandma's house was overflowing with uncles, aunts, and cousins. In later years, we spent the day at our other grandparents' house in Groves. Dad was one of 3; so, we spent day with aunts, uncles and cousins also. After both sets of grandparents were gone, we spent the day at my parents' house. As the years went by, my two brothers and I added spouses, children, and grandkids to our mixture. Even though I treasure all those years, I'm thankful for the prenent day. Today Rochelle & I will be having dinner with our oldest son & our youngest daughter and their families. We'll miss our other daughter & son and their families. I am especially thankful for my husband of 39 years.
