I had pre-ordered two Jolly Bars from the Fig Tree line called Somerset. The fabric designs and<br />
colors are just beautiful. The Jolly Bars also come with a free pattern for a quilt.<br />

Check out the <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> if you haven't been there. They have<br />
a large selection of fabrics, good tutorials, and great service. I'm sure you<br />
will like it as much as I do.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15388034315568176390noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396541197453172204.post-10178735498673590682014-09-22T13:20:00.000-04:002014-09-22T13:20:19.251-04:00Designer Block of the Month2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am taking part in a Block of Month quilt sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop. The fabric is "Snowbird" by Laundry Basket for Moda fabrics. The fabric has a great feel to it and the colors are wonderful. I am up to date (hooray) and am looking forward to Block 5 in October. I have SO many unfinished quilts that I am keeping up to date on this so it can be finished. I am also putting the borders on a half log cabin quilt made from scraps for my husband.<br />

Michigan daughter took Miss Sarah to buy new shoes, and she got a footie to use when trying them on.<br />
All was great and Sarah got new shoes for KINDERGARTEN. The rest of the day she wore the footie, with a hole cut out for the big toe, and the edge of the footie fluffed out with her flip flops. However I believe this new style is only worn on the left foot.

Today Juliet and Oregon daughter are going home after a week's visit. Juliet got to sit in the pilot's chair<br />
and wear his or her hat before takeoff, or perhaps they let her co-pilot. LOL<br />
<br />
They were here so that the MI family could help to celebrate Juliet's birthday. Cousin Sarah was so excited<br />
to see Juliet and they had the best time playing together. What a great time we all had. Hopefully we will<br />
see them in the Fall in Oregon.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15388034315568176390noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396541197453172204.post-49775839954738230582013-05-01T14:39:00.000-04:002013-05-01T14:39:08.791-04:00Quilting Retreat<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Tomorrow I am off to a quilting retreat in Tustin MI at a 4 H camp. This is the 8th annual "Get-a-Way" hosted by Gretchen and her staff from Quilt-n Friends in Sterling Heights MI. We all have a great time at this retreat as the friends, accommodations and food are the best. I so look forward to this every year, and I was afraid that I might not be able to go because of knee problems, but I am going pain or not. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really haven't written much about my quilting, but it is my number one love. Our house is decorated with quilts in every room in the house. I have so many UFOs that I should count them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and start trying to finish them. I was machine quilting my own quilts, but now I have them done by a long arm quilter and they get done much faster. I am taking three quilts with me to start (I know why not take one that is almost finished? It is the thrill of the new fabric and pattern .). Of course I won't start all three, but I'll have a choice when I get there.</div>

I've been busy getting the house ready for my Oregon daughter, her husband, and her daughter. I last saw them in October so we are excited to see them again so soon. Sarah, who is four, is eagerly awaiting her cousin, Juliet, who is six. The two girls have so much fun when they are together, more like sisters than cousins.<br />
<br />
Fred will be picking them up from Metro Airport tomorrow, while MI daughter, Sarah, and I make pumpkins pies and cranberry sauce. The pie recipe is on the back of the Libby's pumpkin can and is the one my mother always made. The cranberry sauce, make with fresh cooked cranberries put through a sieve and then boiled with sugar, is from a recipe that Fred's mom always made. So we carry on the tradition<br />
<br />
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS-LOVE NANCY<br />

This is Sarah and her new cat, Rosie. MI Daughter took Sarah to Petsmart to look at the cats up for adoption. The MI Humane Society had a group of cats and kittens ready for new homes. Rosie was in a cage with another cat, a beautiful black girl. Daughter and Sarah got to hold the cats and play with them, and decided to adopt both of them. I don't have a picture yet of the black cat that they named Annie. Both of the cats have adjusted well and the family is happy to have cats back in their home. Since Murphy died they have really missed a cat. Doesn't Rosie look like Murphy?<br />
<br />
I want to give a big hurray to Petsmart for the adoption center and fairs that they have in their stores. Sarah has been going to the Petsmart near them since she was still in a stroller. It is a great way to introduce children to animals, and a big service to all the foster groups that care for unwanted pets.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15388034315568176390noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396541197453172204.post-33830788945553476952012-04-14T13:38:00.000-04:002012-04-14T13:38:22.738-04:00Murphy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last week my Mi daughter's cat died. He was the sweetest most gentle </div>

cat with a beautiful black ring of fur that gave him a necklace. He was a</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
big cat, sometimes weighing as much as 22 pounds, had very large</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
paws, and beautiful golden eyes. He was the last of her cats, and perhaps</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that was fitting as he was always the low cat on the totem pole. Murphy may</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have known that the other cats felt that way about him, but to himself he was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a tycoon with a top hat reading the paper and smoking a cigar with his</div>

Check her blog out for free vintage images and some great classes you can take from her. Right now I am participating in her Christmas Glue Book class, complete with vintage images you can download. They will make cute Christmas cards for the special people in you life. <br />
<br />
This is what I did for the November challenge. There were three images: The Eiffel tower, a lady. and a calling card. I just couldn't seem to find a way to use the lady image so I cut up her dress and used some of those pieces in my work. I made a 5 x 7 inch card to put in my book from the Gluebook Swap.<br />

There were five of us and we each made up two swap kits for each person in our group. We included whatever we wanted in the kits, such as background, focal images and embellishments that the receiver of the kit would use however she wanted to decorate an ATC. She was also free to add things that she had in her supplies. I, being a lover of cats, chose all cat images for my focal images, however I didn't scan the original images-sorry. I am so pleased with the ATCs that I received.<br />

I used 140 lb watercolor paper</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">as my base paper, as suggested by Mary. I made seven pages (an extra one for Mary), </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and also decorated the backs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I get lazy sometimes and just tune things out, due to fact that I was trying to catch up on a block of the month quilt class that I am in.
