Merry Christmas One and All

I want to wish those who celebrate a Merry Christmas!I am having some of my family here tomorrow and some could not come as the miles are too many and the $ too few.They will be here in spirit.
Stay safe , healthy, happy and warm this joyous time for us.also want to share a picture of a gift i mad for my great grandson Blaze

I saw these on the Internet in a DIY and decided to make them for Blaze. I am sure he will love them.

His dad was a fan of these turtles when he was a small boy. his daddy has some older toys of them . It is nice to see that he too likes these guys. Put on a smile and enjoy all that you are able to do .

Merry Christmas HUGS patty

an Oath for quilter

I received this today in my email from a dear friend, It is so inspiring and meaningful . thought I would share with the rest of you. I have no idea who wrote it or sent it out. But I like it and am sharing it.

Have not done a lot of sewing. I did manage to sew a small table topper and give to a friend for her birthday.

I also received from my neighbor a couple of ornaments she made. one is a snowman and the other is Santa. they are so cute! She does very nice work. very detailed she is. I will take a photo and come back to post them I love them!!

Christmas will soon be here!

Tree and some Leafs

Sorry for the slowdown in my posting. Life has been busy. Today was a good day. Got a new Dyson heater and cooler. The heater works great. Been on a retreat. Came home and started to clean up the sewing arena! Yep that is right the ARENA .Some days I have to put blinders on to go into it and sew. But then I can only stand that so long and have to get at it. We have some good holidays coming up. Turkey day and then Christmas. I think I will decorate the front porch this weekend as it is to be much warmer. only putting lights up for now. Will do the tree and sled later on after turkey gobble day.I will be making a few doll clothes for a little girl I know. I found an apron pattern I want to sew up. and of course lots of unfinished quilty things to get at yet. oh well one thing at a time. On my retreat I managed to sew a nice tree here it is and tomorrow it goes to the quilter lady. It will be so pretty when she is done with it. I have some ornaments I made over the years and I will be hanging them on it. should be a nice duo.Have a good day or evening depending on what time you stopped by. glad you came always love company!!!

this is my rendition of Lori Holt's falling leafs quilt in her Quilty Fun book

this tree is from Cindy Edgerton it is paper pieced and she has it in several sizes.

I bought the pattern at a vendors show in the Dayton area of Ohio. That was a good time that day

Long Break

I have had my grand daughters here for 6 weeks and so much was going on like it was hard to concentrate. I loved being able to spend time with them. The little one Sarah is so sweet she smiles every morning when you say Hi in the morning, a doll. Arsema the older one spent a lot of time with grandma. We played with play dough and colored and played cars and all sorts of fun things. We sat on the front porch and watched the hummers fight over the feeder. She also played on the big wheel and slide and etc. Below is a few photos of the grand daughters. My first Allyson and the babes. Arsema chasing the neighbors dog Bella and one of grandpa holding Sarah. I have some friends coming to visit in September. They are coming from Scotland and I am so anxious to see them. So I am readying the beds for them and we are going to go a quilting retreat as well. I am in charge of it. Love to go to the sewing retreat and visit all my friends. we are a small internet group who have been together over 10 years. and remain close . Great bunch of ladies for sure!!
sorry being so laxly daisy this past month just been busy. also lost a close friend my neighbor gal Heather, she was a sweet lady and I admired her a lot . she was paralyzed and in a wheel chair but that never stopped her from trying things. She learned to sew and drive again and went back to teaching school . She had a heart attack and that is what she died from. Was looking forward to going to work in her new job and making another quilt. what a gal for sure!
Hugs to you all Patty

My swap partner for June got her quilt. She loves it! Here it is and the couple extras I gave her. the first pic is one I took and the second is the one she took of the quilt Brittoni received it.

I have some flip flops left over and think I have to make myself one too. Love that little quilt.
