Family

     MANY OF US WHEN WE ARE BORN , IMMEDIATELY HAVE A FAMILY , A HISTORY  OR HERITAGE.  SOME HAVE TO SEARCH FOR THAT FAMILY HISTORY LATER . THE FAMILY WE ARE BORN WITH WILL ALWAYS BE OURS, GOOD OR BAD;  BIG OR SMALL, RICH OR POOR,CUTE OR NOT SO CUTE WILL ALWAYS BE OURS.  THIS IS THE FAMILY THAT I MARRIED INTO AND I WAS BLESSED WITH.
      THIS IS HERSHEY WHO IS PART OF THE FAMILY I CHOSE!
     THERE ARE A FEW MORE I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO VISIT (NOT DOGS); PEOPLE CHOSEN TO BE FAMILY OF WHICH I CONSIDER VERY PRECIOUS AND SPECIAL  I WISH TO THANK THEM FOR HAVING ME AND MY HUSBAND IN THEIR HOMES;  AND I ALREADY MISS THEM.
WHILE VISITING I BROUGHT MY MARY,MARY QUITE CONTRARY! QUILT TO SHOW THEM; IT IS AND EMBROIDERED AND COLORED WITH CRAYONS,THEN HEAT SET AND THERE ARE A FEW BLOCKS THAT ARE PIECED.  WHILE I WAS DOING ALL THIS VISITING MY QUILTER FINISHED TWO MORE OF MY QUILTS ,SO AS SOON AS I GET THEM BOUND I WILL SHOW THEM TO YOU ALSO.
ONE OF MY HUSBAND'S COUSINS GAVE TWO BAGS OF TEE SHIRTS TO MAKE HER A COUPLE OF TEE SHIRT QUILT TOPS. NEVER TRIED THAT BEFORE .


TAKE CARE OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY , PRECIOUS ONE AND ALL.   MARTHA

Onward!

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use. I am linking with  Life in pieces, 15 minutes to stash Quilting is more fun than housework Patchwork and Quilts Slow Sunday Stitching

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
