...washed and dried a load of clothes. (They still need folding.)

...posted the previous blog AND this one.

...and finished Cassie's quilt top!!!!!!!!!!! (Can I hear a hurray!)

...I still have to sort shirts and be lazy. *grin*

Posted in Quilting
I wanted to post some pictures so people will know I'm not a total slacker around here. Cassie will have 24 blocks in her quilt; four each of six designs. I finished the last block today. Now all I have to do is arrange them, sew them together and quilt it. Oh, yeah, Candace has a quilt top that also needs quilting. Well, at least I won't have idle hands for a long time. *grin*

Posted in Quilting
Inspite of all the excitment of playing in the snow, Candace and I (with some help from Cassie) managed to put two of the six big blocks together. I never would have picked orange, but I really like the way this looks. I think the red blocks set it off, don't you? It will be a cheerful quilt for sure. The cat faces aren't my own creation. I found them on the web and then drew my own pattern.


I'll keep everyone posted on our progress.

I'll confess that the blue and white quilt came from Walmart. :-(

• Jan. 16, 2008 - New Quilting Project

Posted in Quilting
When my soon to be 13 year old was about 3, I (with help from my mother) made her a quilt. She loves that quilt. It even went with us overseas for two years. Needless to say, that quilt is a little faded. DD 12 wants a new one.

Here are the colors she picked out.

I plan to post updates. Perhaps it will keep me motivated. :-)
I started some embroidery today. (Cat faces) Candace practiced sewing seams.
This is supposed to be OUR project. We shall see.

Life-Changing Books


Of course God's Word is the source of all true life changes, but I have encountered several books which have made the "Bible Life" more real to me. I wish to share those with you here.
