Making Room for New Toy!

FOR SALE !!!

REALLY QUIET-RUNS BEAUTIFULLY

I really did list this on Craig's List today for Columbia, SC . Have a look and help me out.

What do you think I should name my new toy? It will be purple, would have preferred orange, but it was not available. Not sure if male or female. Suggestions thus far: Fox or Foxy and Pandora. I am leaning toward Pandora, because I may be opening a box of trouble. I am open to suggestions. Now, back to cleaning out studio and moving my library. Anyone want to come and catalog my library?

Have a great week.

A Devine Mystery

OK, the top for my mystery is finished.

One of my guilds, Devine Quilters, has conducted a mystery this year and this is the result. Alexis saw the fabric and asked for the 'orange' quilt, so I guess that she will just have to get it for Christmas. You won't believe the outlandish fabric that I bought for the back. I just thought that I might just as well carry this loud theme to the back also. It's a good thing that Alexis can sleep well or this quilt would certainly keep her awake! The lighting here in the studio is doing nothing to help this top. Really it does look better and brighter that this.

This will be one of my 'practice quilts' when my new toy arrives.

What? You have not heard about my new toy? Listen closely, I'll tell you more about that later.

Have a good Friday,

I am Finished !!!

Finally ! The Library Quilt is completed. I just put the last stitch in the sleeve. Dick will cut me a 'slat' to hang it with tomorrow and I can turn it in on Monday !!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!





Want to see it? Well, here it is. Have not named it, so if you have any ideas, let me know.





PS: Happy Birthday Tori!!!!! Love you!!!

Mom

Our Trip to the Beach

My family and I did spend a week at Myrtle Beach over the 4th of July holiday. I will now bore you with pictures of the trip.

Here we will start with the guys in the surf, yes we did actually go to the ocean.

We spent some time sewing. Pat, Sherry and I all took our machines and did manage some stitching time.

There was also some very serious card playing that went on during our stay. Please notice the name of the game that shows up on these cards.

Dusty tried to convince all of us that he was working the entire week. That phone never had a chance to 'cool' off.

Please understand that Piper did have a good time. Check out the next picture and you will see what I mean.

Told you.

The grandchildren took afternoon walks while we waited for supper to get ready. We cooked every night and we certainly did not go hungry.

This was the evening gathering place.

We had a fantastic week. Dick was with us part of the time. Tori was with us part of the time and Piper was there too. Dusty, Sherry, Austin, Alexis, Pat, and Danny spent the entire week with me. Kristy, Jay, Laney, and Jessie spent the weekend.

I did manage to get to the 'Quilters Cottage' in Garden City. The 'Artful Bra' exhibit was there for the week and it was good to visit. Pat and Rhett have a wonderful shop and you should visit it every time you are in the area.

I have more news, but, I will try not to go on for so long. More later.
