Paula,
What a hard time to lose a parent. That is a lot of cooking you will be doing.
Mari, I cracked up when you told about Judy’s fabric. There’s Mari again, causing a scene! Nine bucks a yard, that’s highway robbery! Lol
Peg, wonderful wedding quilt. Your DD and her new spousal unit will love it. My niece got married this year, I bet my sister needs to see this. She has been thinking about making them a quilt, but hasn’t gotten anything started yet. A memory quilt would be so much fun.
Tomorrow, my sister and I are going to a sale at her favorite quilt shop. That should be fun. She said she might bring two of her daughters. Wahoo, more quilters!
I have some cross stitch I need to finish, I better go work on it while DH cooks dinner. Cube steak and mashed potatoes and of course, gravy. And some veggies. Yummy.
Hoppy quilting!

Thanks for all the compliments. The quilt is based on a pattern I found in a baby quilt book. I used larger size photos on the outer border than the directions so had to make some adjustments.

Peg - the photo quilt is gorgeous. I love the center photo with all the others in the border - I've never seen one done this way and it is awesome!

RanchMom ~ We'll keep you company! I don't want you to be lonely. I can't wait to see what you make but GET SOME SLEEP! I'm grouch today too. By Fridays I'm really dragging. I stay up too late, get up too early and go too much during the day! Not a good combination I tell'ya!

Peg that is a beautiful memory quilt, I hope your DD appreciates what you have done for them.

Mary Agnes the hen house is heated and waiting for you all to come and visit. Some times it is very lonely here in the country.
I need to get busy sewing so I can share with you what I have been doing, but I can not get motivated today. Stayed up to late last night cutting out pears and partridges. I need more then two hours sleep and I am kind of grumpy when I do not get it. oh well, I'd better get busy, lots to do maybe I will set the timer and hide at my machine until it goes off.

Peg ~ Awesome quilt! What a wonderful quilt and I'm sure treasured memory. I do hope they appreciate what you have done for them! Very thoughtful!

Mary Agnes ~ I wonder....... I bet you do a lot of mail order. I knew prices were higher on the East Coast but didn't know how much. Sounds exorbitant!

Hi Peg, what a beautiful way to do a photo quilt. I love it.

The photo quilt of DD's wedding is finished! The colors I used are those from the bridal party and the table accents at the reception. The penguin in the corner is because Ryan is into computer animation and working on a penguin cartoon series. They had a penguin on their wedding invites also. There are a couple m

ore close-ups on my page.

ranchmom: You don't have to miss us. Just say the word and we'll all move into the hen house. It is heated, isn't it?

Froggie: You're right. Getting through the Holland Tunnel has on occasion taken an hour and a half. Usually outbound on Fridays and inbound on Sundays.

Mari: Tx for keeping us going. And I agree. As a NYer I HATE paying full price for anything. Of course things here start off so much higher than the rest of the world that our discounted prices are probably still higher than most other places. And then I moved to Alaska! Talk about high prices.
