It's Patty's fault!

Most mornings I call to my sis (Patty) in Nebraska to chat for an hour or more. Well a couple weeks ago she was teaching an early bridge lesson and I was left to my own devices. The result= my latest toy, a Cricut Expressions. Yeah, I got caught up in an infomercial. I'm doing a little scrap booking but probably not enough to justify this purchase but in my defense I think I'll use it for quilting too. Anyway it's been fun playing with it.

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.

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!
