Excitement Grows

There should always be excitement in your life.  Many times you have to hunt for something to be excited about.  Sometimes it is just that the day is over and maybe a fresh start with a new day is all you've got.  Well, I have several new excitements.  Some of them I can't write about at the moment, but the one I can tell you about is connected to the Love Entwined link on the sidebar.  I love a new project and start too many.  The quilt that Ester Elieu has designed is going to be fabulous and I know I will enjoy the progress of it even it I don't get it made.  Take a look at her blog.

I'm Still Alive

I just took a look at my blog.  It is so sad, just sitting here with no new posts since last year.  So much has happened since then.  I've been to Australia and New Zealand.  Oh the experiences.  Had 2 wonderful people pass from my quilting life.  Laura a dear sweet girl that I met through an online group and got to see each year at the Indiana retreat.  Kathy a wonderful wife and mother who was about to retire from years of teaching.  I met her through quilting also and got to see her when I went to Sister's Quilt Show in Oregon or when I went to her home in California.  Both are missed very much.  I think of them often.

Lily is now 7 months old and Jake is 4 years old.  Both are doing great.  Of course they are the smartest and cutest grandkids anyone has ever had.

Will try to come back more often and post a few pictures.  It just takes time.

Easy Street Mystery

  Finished with Step 2 of Easy Street, Bonnie Hunter's new mystery. So far I am up to date. Hoping to stay that way, sine the final put together will probably not happen until I come back from Australia/New Zealand late in January.

Lily Jane Stipe has arrived

Just a short note to say Lily Jane Stipe arrived on October 21, 2012.  She weighed 8 lbs 9 ozs and her older brother Jake Robert Stipe loves her, of course this is only the first day after she got home.  Pictures to follow.

Fat Quarter Shop Mystery

Got my 4th block in the mystery BOM done. This is record time as I only received it Friday. Using my iPad for this post as I am waiting on my Verizon wireless modem to get here.  We kicked Comcast to the curb. They should have gotten here faster that 5days to fix my Internet. 

  

Just a short post, since I have been away awhile and the post I just did seemed to dissapear before posting.  Here is a quilt I made for Tater Tot the new grandbaby coming in October.  Her brother Jake has named her and even though it's not her real name, it has become a permanant nickname.  The quilt was made like one that Karen brought to the Indiana retreat last year.  Just chenille and flannel. 

Also, made a few burb cloths from cloth diapers and a bib.  A girl has to dress up for dinner.

Also, been working on a few other things, but those will have to wait.  Will post a picture of the Hooterville quilt later, too.
