As I watched Fons and Porter special “Quilts of Valor”  I was very inspired.  I come from a family of people who have served in the Military and wanted to honor some very special people.  My oldest brother was a Navy Seabee, and served in Viet Nam. I made the following quilt for him.  ForContinue reading “Quilt of Valor inspired”

Good morning on this beautiful Sunday morning.  Yesterday was spent very busy, mainly playing with Destiny.  She will be with us again today and so I am getting this out early.  I hope that this little picture is a sample of what is to come in the future.  That I have 1 out of 5Continue reading “2 for 1 day”

This morning I was checking Facebook and saw a post from one of my Daughters. During the storm last night the walnut tree by her driveway lost a large branch and her driveway was blocked.  Gary and I headed over with the trusty chainsaw, leaf bags, rakes, clippers and what ever we thought we needed. Continue reading “TGIF”

Good morning, all.  Alicia and I were talking last night about today’s blog. We decided that this weeks question will be simple.  What do you like to snack on while you are working at your art?  I call it art, because no matter the medium, we all make some type of art.  If you prefer,Continue reading “Monday”

Good morning all.  I have just enjoyed a wonderful visit from my oldest Granddaughter.  She is a freshman at college and was home for the weekend.  It seems like she has turned in to an amazing woman over night.  It is beautiful to see.  I have been in the “crafting” mode trying to get thingsContinue reading “Super Sunday”

No sewing or quilting, but that is ok will be working on it this afternoon.  We had Ms. Destiny, our 20 month old granddaughter.  She was so much fun.  We built with her blocks, we sang, played with her babies, and she even helped me with some hand quilting.  She lets me hold the needleContinue reading “Best Saturday in a long time.”
