Vintage sheets


Lucky me- had a few minutes to check out our thrift store yesterday and this is what I found. Two sheets for $3.00. The store is operated by the local senior center so I'm guessing most of the sheets are older. One of these days I will have to start sewing them. Have lots of them cut into 6 1/2 inch squares.

Also the weather is beautiful here- will be in the high 70's today. Everything in my garden is growing nicely. Hope you all are having a good day.

Jelly Roll Sampler Block


Hey, I am catching up and just in time. The sun is shining- its not raining and supposed to be 70ยบ today. I will soon be in my garden working. I did finish my Jelly Roll Sampler block. Now I have to do an 8x11 paper pieced block for a challenge. I do not- repeat -do not like paper piecing but I will do it if I get last place. I just put a rhubarb dessert in the oven. It has a cup of heavy whipping cream in it- ummm. My friend puts 2 cups in but that is a little too much for me. We are having friends in for a card game tonight. Have a good day!!

Jelly Roll Block


Just finished my block and the new one is out already. Seems like I am alway behind. ; )

Raining here and it is snowing in the western part of South Dakota. Hope it doesn't come here- I have some of my garden planted and growing. Well better get busy on my next block.

My Latest Project


I made these tea bag wallets to put in goodie bags for a state meeting. Each club had to do 20 bags. Now I can get back to quilting.

Happy Mothers Day

Hope all you Mothers and Grandmothers had a good family day. I sure did. My 2 boys brought dinner to our house and served it. The grandkids loaded the dishwasher while the rest washed and dried the other things. It was a real treat. The sun even managed to come out this afternoon.
I had planned on doing some sewing but didn't. I am making some tea bag wallets to put in goodie bags for a state meeting. Hope to finish them tomorrow and will share a picture. Enjoy whats left of the day.

My work is waiting.


I cut the denim and flannel for another raggy quilt. I always sew these quilts on a treadle machine so the pieces are waiting for me. Love this machine- my DH bought it at an auction for $5.00. He was going to put a motor on it but I like treadling. The cord on the floor is for my light.
