Has Time Flown By

Yes the last time I wrote it was way back in the Fall. I have been busy with this or that. If I can remember all that I have done. I know the most important thing was DGD-Zoey was born in December. We finished our Round Robins and had a nice party to show them all off. I have also made a Fair Quilt (on the right) for this years Lamoille Country Fair the end of the this month, I have quilted a few quilts on my long arm-some for me and a couple for my mom, the LWC-Lamoille Woman's Club-sewing group made 37 adult cover ups (large bibs), we have also been working on cool ties for the troops over seas. We Made the Chair Quilt for Bright Path (adult day-care) for their Sitting Pretty Auction---it was auctioned for $75.

I should have more to say but like I said I have been busy---selling tickets for the quilt, working with the CIP for the LWC, doing all the driving for DH and my mom, chasing after the cat when he gets out and today I fertilized the front and back lawns---we have over a 1/4 acre and probably did some of the golf course lawn also.

Well that is all I can think of right now.

Fall up in the Canyon

My son called and said how beautiful the canyon was as they were up there having Senior pictures taken. So my mom and I drove up there---it is about 25 miles from home. I had taken my mom up back in July and they were doing road work but my mom said it was so pretty them---I told her to wait until the fall. Yes there are so many colors of green, yellow, some red and snow way up at the top of the mountains. I don't know how high up we were but I was a bit light headed walking around. At least the road work is done for this year---they had a few slides back in June when we got some rain and it melted the snow. Water and debris came down the creeks and flooded some of the town of Lamoille just before the Fair the last Sunday of June.

On a sewing note I have made a baby quilt for one of the sewing ladies new grandson, a baby top for my new granddaughter to arrive in December, a JoAnn's block of the month from last year and a purple Quick Quarter Quilt twin top. I need to really get some of these tops quilted after I get the new fair quilt top made and go away for a quilting retreat this next weekend in Weaverville, CA, both of the last two are already cut and set to sew up.

A Very White Christmas

We are having a WHITE Christmas---this is Kodiak loving the snow this morning. We are to be going to our son's for dinner but will have to shovel the driveway before we go. One minute it looks like it is stopping and then it blows harder.

We have added a new kitten to the family, her name is Kallie

Waiting for the next step in a Christmas Mystery---only doing a wall hanging so I am quick on this one.

Service Banner

Well it has been a week since I last posted---but I have been stitchin, yes I just finished making a Service Banner for a friend---his son

is in the military and I don't know if he has gone overseas as of yet. I had tried to print the write up of the Service Banner on muslin for 2 other banners I had made and the fabric wants to wiggle in the printer so on this one I left the top of the back label open like a pocket and typed on photo paper---it is heavier than the printer paper---and tucked it in. All I need to add is a dowel and want to make a gold cord to hang it up by.
