I have been reading many "yearly" lists over the past few days. Seems everyone hopes to get some older projects out of the way early on in 2012.
Which is what I would like as well. Now if all of the fun new projects would not hit the web till June I think I would be in good shape!!!
I have many tops needing quilted- so this will be MY first thing to get out of the way. if my memory is correct I have 22 tops to do.. So if I could do one a day I would have them all quilted in January. Then maybe could get the binding on in Feb. All of the quitls are for the Vets Center. So this is a real priority for me!!
For today I will continue to go through stuff to cull out.
That is a huge undertaking in my world.!!
Happy New Year to all and may all you start in the New Year not end up as a UFO for 2013!!
Till next time...

I hope to be more productive in 2012. Sometimes life just gets in the way.. As it does for everyone at some
point. I have several tops to quilt and bind for the Vets Center. So I must get these done.
I will do inventory for the Quilt Shop I fill in at. Seems she wants to do this BEFORE she has her sale.
Weird to me but I don't own the business. I workd there tomorrow as well. I might just get to sew on something for me!! I just know I will not be busy. Too many sales going on..
I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and will have Happy New Year too..
Till next time.....

Hello
Where does the time go? Thanksgiving will be here soon. And I don't even have a turkey yet..
I have managed to make a few of the sleeves for Eyeglasses. Sharon V shared her method of making these and was very easy. You can get to her blog http://vroomansquilts.blogspot.com/. Check it out . She does so many things and is one busy giving Woman.
The ones I made yesterday, 9 total. I plan to make more using the homespun fabrics for the males of
the world. Not sure where they will be donated just yet, but there will be a place I'm sure..
Have a great day everyone.. till next time..........

Time passes so quickly!!
I can't believe it has been almost two months since I posted anything!! And I don't really have any excuses except nothing happening in my world worth telling about..
Now that the long hot summer is coming to a close.. Yippee, I can get back to my frame quilting. I have way too many quilts tops to be quilted and bound. Then taken to the Vets Restoration Center for use. This is the on going project I wrote about sometime last year. If all goes well they will be quilted in a meander. it is not what I want to do but time is of the essence and they will be needed before the snow flies.
I visit many blogs and read what others are doing and finishing etc. Seems most quilters are going back to the simpler things again. Lot so squares and strips. and simply done. I think all the money talk across the country has much to do with it. Women get stressed and they want to make something to get their mind off everything negative. A good thing for sure. Life goes on !!

Remembering my Mom
This post is all about my Mother, so if you want quilty it is not here today.
I want to remember my dear sweet mother today
Had she lived, she would have been 91 years old.. Hard for me to imagine that.
Mother was 57 when she died. Her life was anything but easy!
What you read here are things I remember about her and some of the things she told me over the years.
Mother was the strongest and wisest woman I have ever known. She became a widow at the age of 30 with seven children, 6 girls and one boy, to raise. All we had was each other. This was way before the entitlements widows get today. Times were very hard but she kept us together for as long as she could.
Then she made, what she said was the hardest choice in her life!! The oldest child was placed in a girls only home and the youngest went to live with one of Moms brothers and his family. The middle 5 were placed in a children's home . I was one of the middle 5. she moved from the small town we lived in, worked 3 jobs to support us in the children's home. Never forgot to write and send cards. We were there for 9 months or close to it. We relocated to a bigger city and began a different life.
We were raised to be a close knit family. As we were all we had, just each other.
Mom always had such wonderful bits of wisdom to share. And as we were growing up, there was a open door policy at our house. Our door was never locked as Mom said you never know who might need a place to stay for the night. I remember many Saturday mornings she would get up and count heads to see how many of the neighbor kids had come in to sleep on the floor or in chair, as their parents locked them out for the night. Our house was always buzzing with friends and neighbors.
And much love from her.
Just a few things she said to me about life and such.
You are the company you keep. so if you hang with low life's that is what you will be!! ( Oh how true these words are in today's world)
Never let a man keep you under his thumb! There is a story that goes with this about her own life.
Be your own person and do what you like..You will be much happier.
Don't be a follower be a leader. (Most of the family is that today)
Always be a person of your word, no matter what.
It's a mighty poor hen who can't scratch for a few chicks.! (this one rigns in my ears even today)
The loss of her only son was very hard on her. Our brother died in 1966 at the age of 24. And mom was devastated by this. We all had a hard time coming to gripes with his death.,but made it through.
She never seemed to fully recover his death.
Mother was a beautiful singer and played the piano and guitar as well.
I miss her as much today as I did the day she died in 1977. Never have I met a woman such as she was.
I could go on and on but will save some stories for later.
Happy Birthday MOM!! I love you and miss you so very much..

blog comments!!
Very upsetting to me when I add a remark on a blog, jump through all their hoops and then have to do it all over again. Because I didn't give them my email address.. What in the world is happening with the blog world?
And another thing gets me is to have to be a member of facebook and click like for them.
I will probably not be visiting those blogs again. Enough already!! I don't even do face book for my family members, why would I do that for someone I really don't know? Weird , weird , weird ...
Till next time.....
