Where does the time go?

Well summer is about gone, and it was spring when I last made a post.
Life happens around here in more ways than one.
I have had many life changes since May. My hubby is now retired. So we are together more than we are used to. He was a heavy equipment field service tech for over 40 years!!! This type of work wrecks havoc on your body on a daily basis. What a guy!!
Love him dearly and want him around for a long time.

My son Billy went to Alaska to work on a house. He returned yesterday. Here is a photo of him in the woods. Click on the photo to make it larger. He was asked to return there next year. So I guess he will do that.

My daughter Lori is now with us as well. Things are tight to say the least. But she hopes to be in her own place before much longer. She has a job and her work days have been increased. So life is good for her.

I am recovering from working at my local guilds' quilt show last week end. What a mass of people we had. Over 1,200 on Friday alone. I was the admissions chairman.
And have been asked to do it again next year, I told the chairman I would have to think it over.

I have many quilting projects I am way behind on. And some need to be finished NOW~~
but it won't happen today.

Hope all is well in your part of the world..
Till next time-----------

Old things

Just want to share a few pictures of some older quilt items.
They were gifted to me by a couple of friends. Date of these are not really known, but they are neat none the less.
The quilt has been re backed and tied from the back, hence the blue and white checked fabric. I may at some point take this off and see what is under there.. LOL

Been Awhile

Nope I didn't forget I have a blog!! Just seems like it.

What have I been doing?? Well many things and whole bunch of nothing..
Helped my sister get a top quilted. We had fun. Was it perfect? Not by any
stretch of your thoughts. But you anyone will have to look real close to find the boo-boo's. Now on to others.

Yesterday was a sad and happy day for me. Would have been my oldest son's 44 birthday. And we have a new addition to the family as well. My sister, Wilma,became a Great Grandma yesterday morning.. She was so excited, she forgot the word GREAT.. I had to remind her. She will be a good Great granny for sure.

Nothing more quilty at the moment so

Till next time-----

Your rainbow is strongly shaded red and green.

What is says about you: You are an intelligent person. You appreciate energetic people. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality. You get bored easily and want friends who will keep up with you.

Moving Forward

Seems March has come in like a lion where I live. Rather cold and snowy today. My sister Wilma is supposed to come over today to use my KenQuilter set up. Not sure if this will happen or not. The building has no regular heat. So will take awhile to get it warm enough to stay out there.

I finally have the Christmas quilts top together. It looks rather busy up close but fun from afar. I have the backing ready to sew for this. and then maybe I can get it done by April 1st.  There are a couple a head of this one for quilting. That's my life.!!

Hope you have a great day..

Till next time............

Sadness and Gladness

Seems as though the days get away from me lately.

Today is a very sad day for me. My oldest son, Kenneth Marc, died on this date in 1999. He was a handsome younger man for sure.  His photo on the left. There are not many days in the past 10 years I have not thought of him in some way.  I can still hear him talking to me about cetain things in his life. I know he is no longer in pain and this is what matters the most to me.!! I love you and miss you Son.

I plan to get some sewing done today. There are many quilts calling my name to be finished. Hopefuly life won't get in the way as it so often does.

We all know about the best laid plans never happen.

Later today, hopefully I will up load a couple of pictures of 2 older items given to me. I was shocked she said take them.  No, they are not worth mega dolllars. but they do have a sence of history.  One is a quilt, and the other is a quilt top. Check back later to see them.

Till next time..............
