Memorial Day

Hope you had a nice Memorial Day and had time to stop and say a prayer for all our military- past, present and future. We are so fortunate to live in a country where we enjoy so many freedoms.

I washed one of my first quilts today and planned on taking a picture while it was on the clothesline. I draped it across 3 lines but we had a rain shower so I didn't get the best picture but will show it anyhow. I had to quickly get it in before it got wet again.

Pretty Quilt

Today I was quilting at our local senior center. We have a few that hand-quilt and the money helps support the center. This just happens to be my DD's quilt. ( Call me crazy) We usually have a quilt or 2 waiting. One of the ladies quilting today is 94 years old and does a really good job.

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 70º 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.
