welcome trip

Looking forward to another Vermont adventure.......leaving tomorrow. How can I say this.......very much needed!!!!!!

new needle-turn applique quilt

I have started another quilt. This one will be needle-turn, love it, kinda like my Baltimore album patterns. The only fabric that will stay the same is the stem and red flower, everything else will change. I'm making 20 of these babies. The material is french general (love it so much)! Actually the flower is on the diagonal. This will be a twin size for the daughter's bed. The pattern is Romance in bloom...............

Baby quilt

Actually finished this a few weeks ago and just now posting. I used piano blocks for the border...but as you notice I DID NOT put the big squares in border corner. Too Lazy too cut the correct dimensions and took more time than I had.

Just plain busy

Been a while

Have been busy in the kitchen canning all those ripe red luxurious tomatoes. My favorite is tomato jam/preserves.....wonderful!!!!!!! oh and my dried tomatoes with garlic/basil infused olive oil!!!!!! (but on a side...it does give one the big D, if you get my drift) Gifts for all............

been picking (go to bottom to read)

Blackberries with the daughter. Still sick with the blasted asthma thing but life goes on! Will leave you with some beautiful pictures of the event....and yes, I have already made blackberry preserves!

summer sickness

I hate it when I'm sick!!!!! The mucous, the soreness,the fevers, the pity party for me........yes it's true..........PITY Party! I feel like yuk! I probably should have NOT gone to work last weekend, alas, I never call in.......Oh, and has anyone tried those Nettie pots for the nose? I mean, A.R.E. you kidding???????? I water-board myself......I do!!!! I do not get it!!!!! OK, I am done with the mucous meanderings.........I will leave with a nice picture..........(that I have no idea of when or what)
