Mother's Birthday Quilt

Here is a picture of my mother's 80th birthday quilt. I finished it a day before her 81st birthday. It has 80 signature blocks and everyone has had fun hunting their block.

Red and Aqua

Two of my favorite colors. I have collected red kitchenware for years. My laundry room is painted a shade of aqua. My new sewing room will be aqua. I even have a red sofa, so when I saw a blog post about a red and aqua swap I new I had to participate. You can join in too just click on the link on the sidebar. That is if I can figure out how to get it over there.

Needlebooks and California

Working on needlebooks for my Hand Did's swap. These are turning out really cute. I wanted to do a more elaborate embroidered one, but you know what they say about best laid plans.

I am going to California for the Long Beach show next week. Thank goodness 13 years ago I participated in a swap online. That was a long time ago and I was very new to cyberspace. I still have many online friends from that swap. Kathy that I will stay with and Kim coming from Oregon are the best. They are not the only best, they are just the best because they put up with me. LOL I think I will also get to see Darly and Sharon. I have met them both before, but haven't seen them for years. What fun.

Another Bump in the Vision Road

Things have been going too smoothly, I knew it, a bump was bound to occur. I woke up a week ago with the right eye having vision issues. It looked like someone had splattered ink in my right eye. Called the doctor and off I went. Yes, as I suspected there was a bleed into the eye. I go tomorrow for an unltrasound of the eye and a possible avastin injection. Thanks for modern medicine.

Presbylla Emma

I am a member of Vintage Cloth Dolls on Yahoo and finished a doll, well almost finished a doll before the deadline. Poor Emma still needs her hat and a few finishing touches. Named after my paternal grandmother she was a joy to make. I haven't made any dolls in so long and she called to me.

Hitty quilt

Recently did a swap with North Country Hitty Yahoo group and this is the charm quilt I received from Bobbie. I just love red so imagine my surprise when I opened the envelope and my charm quilt was red.

The quilt on the right is one I sent to Bobbie

Why did I start this blog

Darned if I know. I have a Facebook account that I never add anything to either. I read blogs all the time and keep up with friends, but never post anything. Can't figure out how to customize my page, probably because I never spend time on my blog. It's been 8 months since my last visit. Hopefully, it won't be 8 more months.
