Not quilting. I got sidetracked. I know. Those that know me are screaming “SHOCKER!” with a sarcastic tone. I have reasons. My concentration level got gobsmacked. My son…yeah, THAT one…crashed his bike… again…crash number… I don’t remember but at least it did not involve a car. Face planted. Front teeth broken in half. What am [...]

The “Holda Buttload O’ Books” bookbag made it to my G O R G E O U S baby girl who is in Australia attending school. She sent me her modeling portfolio…heh.

The Mind Eraser drop

No nifty needle pics or plans to post today. Yesterday was Life-Interruptus Majorus! My youngest was hit by a car while riding his bike. Driver’s fault. He is banged up, bruised up, road-rashed real pretty and has a considerable gash along his temple. Other than that he is fine. Yes, he wore his helmet. Today’s [...]

Finished it over the weekend { just in time for the Spring to Finish Challenge } It’s a beautiful morning here {before the heat hits} so I grabbed my cup of coffee and my camera and took some pics of the quilt hanging from my Crape Myrtle trees…wow, that was a run-on sentence. FYI….. Crape [...]

Yeah, I know, I said there would be pictures of the wedding. Blame Mr. Coffee hogging using my camera…again. Arrggghhh. Better late than never. So here’s proof… The theme of the wedding was built around the quilt, pictured later, that the Bride’s grandmother made for her before she passed away. The quilt top was finished [...]
