Hello There,
Happy Fourth of July to all of you who celebrate!  I hope you have fun and are all safe this weekend! 
Thank you all for your prayers for Elisa.  She passed away about 10 days ago surrounded by her loving family.  Please remember to pray for her family as services will be in about a week.

Sunday Stash April 3, 2022 from Quilt Paint Create

No change in the numbers.

I’m still working on framing Christmas Eve. I expect to finish it this week.

I’m also thinking about the next project. I like to have a couple things going in case a project requires thought or something I don’t have. I know it’s hard to believe, but sometimes the stash doesn’t contain the right color fabric or thread. It happens to the best of us.

Candidates for the next thing are the purse,

So many options, so little time.

Of pills, blood pressure and bags from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

I have sisters. Lots of sisters. Seven, as a matter of fact. 

We all grew up in very close proximity: three bedrooms and one bathroom--for a family of 10. 


Nothing special, all utilitarian.

There are no brothers. That seems to make us unusual: eight girls and no boys. If I had a nickel for every time...


The orange paper is the size
of a medical card or ID.
We are all adults now. Growing old together, it turns out. Most of us are grandmothers. I said just a couple of days ago that it was wonderful to grow up with ...

Just Because ~ from Marty's Fiber Musings



You've heard it and I've said it....."Just because you can doesn't mean you should!"  Not taking this to heart,  and having a roll of Tyvek on hand, I decided I could.   After a bit of painting and sewing,


painted tyvek zippered pouch - marty mason



the fruit of my labor - a painted on Tyvek  zippered pouch.  Loving the way it distressed when the pouch was turned inside out after completion.   Now filed under the tab of I-must-do-this-again.








Enjoy my ride and smile with me.
