Picture Overload

Oh, I have been gone a while. My husband and I have moved from the country to the city about 80 miles distance. We sold our home and land and RV Park. We moved to the city and we love it here. We love our church and all the new people we have met. We have had a wonderful Christmas season beginning with all the Christmas cantatas. Today, we enjoyed my niece's Christmas program. My great niece was Baby Jesus. She was so good and my heart just was about to burst with thankfulness.  

I have made a couple of quilts since moving to my new home. I have a nice big room upstairs for all my quilting stuff. I could spend all day, everyday in my studio. Sonny has a new deer camp that is within an hour from here and has enjoyed running up there for an afternoon. We are so happy in our new home.

The first quilt is for a raffle for my granddaughters. One or two are raising money for a trip to Spain. They asked if I would make two quilts. This is the first one. The pictures do not do the quilt justice. It is really a fun quilt.

The second quilt was for my sweet great niece born early this year. It is a Sunbonnet Sue quilt. I just love Sunbonnet Sue quilts. The first Sunbonnet Sue quilt I saw was when I was in elementary school and my friend had quilts on all the beds in her house--one being a Sunbonnet Sue.

Wanted to post a photo of my granddaughter's shirt. I used Circut and heat press on the polyester to add their names and it did beautifully. I also replaced the buttons with medal snaps. These are some talented young ladies.

Here are a couple of Christmas projects. Christmas pillow made using my Bernina embroidery machine and Bernina machine to complete pillow.

I just had to make this crooked Christmas Tree. I tried to sew the binding with the sewing machine and did not like it as much as my regular binding method.

My dining table and new Amazing Grace canvas. Some of my kitchen is in the background.

 My living room. Taken before Christmas decorations were added.

And that is all for tonight.

Good night, all.

Let Me Share

I am sharing a picture of my "new" dining room table. This is the table I shared many meals when growing up. I think my mother grew up with this table, also. Our dining room table sat in a dining room that was at the center of a large home built in 1926. So it was the center gathering place of many meals and many events with lots of friends, relatives, and family. This is where we studied. This is where we worked on projects--whether cutting out dresses to doing science projects. This is where we had family discussions. I cannot imagine how many hours of visiting went on at that table. I can count seven generations of people who sat at this table.

The table is wider than normal tables. I remember my grandmother always saying she could not find table cloths to fit so she just crocheted her table cloths.

Well, I inherited the table from my folk's home. I just love it and know we will continue to enjoy it and maybe make some more memories.
