What a beautiful morning we had here. Bob and I grabbed a quick breakfast and took off for a ride in the Jeep - we won't talk about what it did to my hair - but oh well - it was great fun anyway!
Heather - I'm so glad you got some sleep. Sounds like you're having a productive day! I understand your BIL being interesting in quilting. Bob made a quilt top many years ago and never finished the quilt - that will be one of my many next projects. He also spent many hours in the fabric store with me helping me to find fabric for my quilt and also cut many of the pieces for me. He may not try all the crafts, but he is fascinated by them all. We can go to a craft store together and spend hours looking around.
Debbie - Thank you for the kind words about the quilt - Most I've seen have mostly pastel colors in them and I really love vibrant colors. They say that if you make a quilt, you should make it the way you want it, so I am. LOL!
Janet - Can't answer your question about how long it takes to make a quilt. This is my first one and I wanted to do it all by hand - I tend to fight with sewing machines - LOL! And, I've not worked on it every day, in fact, there were times when I would work on something else and let it sit for a few weeks. Do take it easy on that ankle and enjoy your day today.
Joe - Yes, most quilters either put a name tag on their quilts with a date or embroider it on the quilt.
Cat - I'm so glad Hunter is doing a bit better. It's always such a worry for us when the little ones are not well. Hugs to you both - little Grace too!
Ladean - Hope you are enjoying your day out with hubby today - we always miss you on Sundays here.
BJ - It's so waonderful to have you back with us again!
Tracy - have fun with the kids today. How is Kane doing? I'm sure he is thrilled to have a family.
Sheryl - glad you got a bit more rest - you are one busy lady and still manage to take some time to post with us. What a treasure you are!
Barbara - Such words of wisdom you bring to us. And it just doesn't feel right when you aren't here posting with us each morning!
Connie - Happy belated Anniversary! Don't overdo trying to catch up on your disaster - LOL!
Ellen - Hope you are here with us often! Looking forward to getting to know you better.
Cathy - Tatting is a lost art - in fact many don't even know what it is or what it looks like. I have several tatted doilies my mother made and they are priceless to me - even though I can tat and make my own. I was taking a tour through an old home that had become a museum one day and there was a frame sitting on a table with a lock of hair that had been tatted. The tour guide thought it had been crocheted, but we told her that it had been tatted so that she could explain to others taking the tour in the future. I'm sure the embelishments your Mother made for your little dresses were made with much love.
Group Hug,
