Hi all -- it's been way too long since I last posted here. It's so nice to see so many 'faces' I know as I scan the posts.
Honestly, I can't remember when I last posted, so some of this may be old stuff but other will be new. I have managed to do some quilting/fiber art over the last several months, but my time is mostly filled with other things of life these days.
Last November my husband and I moved from working for the Retreat (which is no more) to full time volunteer staff…

Tribute wallhanging
Posted by Barb/WI on August 8, 2018 at 6:43am 7 Comments 0 Favorites
This wallhanging is based on a larger one I found in a magazine. I made this to hang in my 7 year old granddaughter's bedroom, at our house. It is a tribute to her mom, our daughter-in-law, who just passed away much too young after her 7 year battle with metastatic breast cancer. She truly knew how to live life in full bloom, and made making memories a priority. We never heard her complain as she fought bravely until she had nothing left to fight with. (Sorry, didn't plan to add the…

Another quick project

If you click on the picture, I think it will enlarge it enough so you can see the quilting better. That is all done using my emb machine except…

Just when I thought I had a grip on life....

Seems like my life is always throwing me curves. I finally got my broken arrow quilt top finished with the extra borders. Sorry I don't have a picture of it as it is now packed and going into storage. Almost a year ago My other half injured his back at work. He would work, couldn't work for a few months and L and I of course paid wouldn't pay for his time off. He's been off work now sense April and we are going through the getting paid not getting paid by L and I. So this has forced us…
