never a lack of food.. pizza, salad, wonderful refried bean/chicken dip, chips

brownies.. and wonderful rolls that Carol worked really hard on! 

 

 

Auntie Mary and Auntie Pat make quilts for the graduates

in the family! this is for my late sisters son Ethan who graduates this year! 

 

Auntie Mary made the quilt top and Auntie Pat i believe

will finish it off. i think they switch every year. Jana and I

even got one when we graduated so they have been doing this for years!

 

Sister Jana showed us the border she sewed on her

paper pieced quilt!

 

Worken hard on another one of Pats quilts... 

 

Carol F made this for a nephews little one!

 

Time for show/tell and a food break!

Of course Carol F had some wool applique to show us!!

 

Auntie Mary is almost done with her applique blocks! 

 

Mary also made this table mat, she put that pot holder

stuff in the middle and will use it on her table for

hot foods! great pattern and fabrics!

 

Carol P made this for her niece who graduates, also

great pattern and fabrics!! I think she had said she got

the fabrics at Country Threads. ( love that shop, and gals! )

 

Carol P also made this a bit ago for a fund raiser

for cancer familys in honor of her late niece!

Sunday Hello..

First of all it is pouring rain here and suppose to snow too... Daughter Angela is on her way to the cities for a week of training so i have dog duty! Safe travels my baby doll! Grandma Jean called and said some roads are washed out...
 Sadie Girl went home and now i have 2 more! i am staying between the 2 houses tho as Sally Girl is getting so frail that if Olivers big tail hit her she'd fall over and the kittys too getting to old for all the activity a BIG puppy brings.
I opened my closet for something and geez.... more quilts! soo tossed them on my bed to go thru, most i will list on ebay with the exception of the fan quilt and maybe another of the vintage...

 

Sadie Girl waiting for Daddy... 

 

Emma and Sadie found some sun! 

 

Nice picture of Sally Girl! 

 

I had thrown Sadie's bed on Emma's... 

 

Emma's smiling in her sleep thinking.....

HA! I'm sleeping in Sadie's BED!

(shhh she gets her feelings hurt if you mention her weight...) 

Son Jeff just text me and said " well its not like shes big boned mom.... "

 

Enjoy your Day!         Jody
