I DON'T BELIEVE IT EITHER

Last weekend, my son, Dusty, appeared in a womanless beauty pagent. This was to raise money for Greenhill Baptist Church.

This is Dusty with his sister Victoria.





This is Dusty with his Dad--Dick.

This is Miss Congeniality, My son, Dusty.

This was the most fun I have had in many months. I don't know when I have laughed as hard.

I actually have video, but, I was laughing so hard that I couldn't keep the camera still.

Quilt Camp is coming soon !!!!!!!!

Still Here

No, I'm not dead yet. Have had a scare with Heart Cath, but, things seem to be stable for now. I will probably have to have additional stents placed in the next few months. Will 'cross that bridge when I get there'.

Now, back to the important stuff.

I managed to finish another block for my Garden quilt. This is what I have so far:











I finished piecing the one block wonder quilt. It has been placed in the UFO box for now.

I have done all the prep work for the Devine Raffle Quilt and have started the applique on it this weekend.I really hope that I can do it justice. Elizabeth has worked so hard designing it. If this











turns out like I think that it will, this will be one awesome quilt.





Dick and I have also----------now about Dick--------He took Rocky for his "nip tuck" several weeks ago, and it is a wonder that he is still alive. Rocky does not know the meaning of a leash and he took off running when Dick opened the door. Rocky ran and Dick hit his head on a deck post. It is a miracle that he is still alive to tell the story. This photo is what he looked like 3 weeks later, so you can imagine what he looked like before. Long story short--Dick is fine and Rocky is a little more subdued. Both are doing fine.

































Now back to Dick and I. We have been getting my unusual garden spot ready. This involves 2 large water troughs and lots of dirt. Will get more on that later. This has gone on long enough.

Blogger is not showing this posting in the preview the way I want it to look. So, hope you can read it.
Hope you have a good week.

Busy Weekend

How is this for a serious look? I was priviledged to have lunch with this young lady and her mother on Friday. We were getting ready for a bridal shower for one of my nieces ( is that how you spell it?) that we had on Saturday. She was a very good helper too.

This is both of my Granddaughters as they were having a blast while we were having a Mother's Day supper.

This isn't a very good picture of my Grandson. It is really hard to catch him unaware of the camera. Such a ham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love that boy.

This is the rest of our group: my son Dusty, daughter Victoria, husband Dick, and daughter-in-law Sherry.

Now for the Baby Jane blocks:

I'm not real happy with the results with the B-11 block, but, I think that it will have to stay the way it is. What is the saying about a galloping horse?

However, I do love my first triangle. BR1 is Rosemary's Rainbow and I do love the red.

So, that's it for this weekend. I have spent today on a top for Alexis for Christmas. I know that when Sherry reads this she will be dying to know which one it is. Hard as I try, I can't keep the secrets from anybody.

I hope everyone is safe and well.

Baby Jane Up to Date

I am now up to date --- I think. These are the blocks that I have worked on this weekend:
This one is K-7 Rose of Sharing. This one was assigned some weeks ago, but I missed it.



This one is B-5 Hot Cross Buns. Where did Jane ever come up with these names? Don't you know that she had a vivid imagination?

This is B-7 World Series. Was there a World Series for Baseball during Jane's life? The way that Anina suggested that we do this block was genius!! She made it so simple, even though it looks extremely complicated.


This is B-8 Waterlily. There is one point that does not quite have a 1/4 inch seam allowance, so will have to be careful when putting on the sashing.
I think that I will spend the rest of the weekend cleaning the studio. I have not cleaned in here since before Spring Quilt Camp in February so it REALLY needs it. I have taken some "before" pictures that I'll post later after I clean up and take the "after" pictures.

Dick, my husband, was in the hospital Thurs and Friday following a heart cath. They had to put in a stent so he had to stay over night on Thursday. He is home and doing fine, but, he has to be really lazy for a few days. I don't think that he minds that though. Dick's favorite TV channel is the Golf Channel, so between that and the Kentucky Derby today, he is a happy camper.

That's it for this weekend. See you later next week,
