I'm Back!

If your familiar with our family you know we're animal lovers. Here's the latest addition Mick and Kathy's ladies, Carter the pretty blue eyed one and little Buffy. A year ago they found little three week old Carter in their Vegetable garden. She was tiny and sick but here she is now doing well. Then a few weeks ago they decided Carter should have a pal. So here comes sweet little Buffy.

Little quilting,

1. Tyler went in the Marines last winter. Tyler is in Tech school right now . While we were in Cape Cod we got a call that he was hit by a car in a theater parking lot. We thought that might end his career but although he was pretty banged up but he's on the mend.

I made him this red ,white, and blue quilt. The last picture is the back. I really like fabric I used for the backing.

Just a few more.

A few pictures of the house,the big room ,one of the lake(pond)from the house,a picture of the house from the pond. Jenna and Cristi on Mopeds And Nick and Will retrieving the canoe after the girls tipped it over. Luckily their all great swimmers growing up here on Lake Erie

Bummed

My big Janome 1600p is in the shop so no machine quilting today. I could work in the garden but... it's raining .Here near lake Erie when we get rain it's usually a hard rain but today it's a soft rain hardly more than a mist. Reminds me of the Irish blessing "may the rain fall gently on your fields" It's very nice.
Our son Mick was in the hospital a couple weeks ago came over yesterday looking much better.I can't help but think he had that for a while because he was so tired and pale before.But thank the lord he's all better.
Ted's little munchkins had a b-day Sunday. How cute is that!

Doesn't sound like much I know but was doing family things too.Like visiting Mick in the hospital with double pneumonia and baking for Jenna's graduation party.
Here is a picture of quilt I made for my niece Anna's baby. I sent it off to Omaha today. I made the top and Sis is going to hand quilt it.
By the way Mick's home and feeling much better.
