When life hands you scraps, make quilts! Just finished a Lancaster Seasons queen size for our bed. It turned out quite well. Had it quilted and bound by our local long arm quilter - she did a great job! Never realized how much you use your thumbs until you have trouble with them! Arthritis again! Can still make tops, though!!! There's some ready to be sent for quilting, some waiting to be put together and some in the planning stages - should keep me busy for awhile! The newest project idea is for a lap quilt for a cancer patient - using bright colours and blocks of an applique pattern for cancer - 'Think Pink' - free from http://www.fatcat patterns.com - look under 'For Her" and a white dove drawn by my friend Heather - thanks Heather! A flannel backing will make it really cozy for anyone undergoing chemo.
One granddaughter is taking driving lessons - I may have a chauffuer soon! Fabric stores may not be her first choice, but it would be practice!
One of our furbabies is at the vet's having some dental work done - she'll not be a happy camper tonight! The other three are doing very well - the baby will be a year old on April 20th and is spoiled rotten! She can get herself into more trouble than enough! Then you get the "look" with the big eyes - "Who, ME? What did I do?"This is little miss innocence - Callie.... the poor elephant foot plant had a rough time. Callie's getting bigger now, so she doesn't fit in the pot any more!
Enough for now - I hear some fabric calling my name!
Have a happy and healthy Spring season!
