I have 2 grown children and 2 grandchildren. I'm a self taught quilter and I've been quilting about 6 years and love it. I've made many quilts for friends and relatives. I take pictures of each one and sometimes the back. We like to travel in our motorhome from June to mid Oct. Last 2 years, we went to AZ for 2 1/2 months and had a good time going to many cities, towns and out in the desert. We like to use our metal detector, but haven't found anything. Also, we went to 12 Mariner Spring Training games. Enjoyed seeing who's trying out and how they do. I'm still sewing quilts for Project Linus and our group gets together once a month. What fun to share ideas and just sit sewing and talking.

I know that I haven't posted for 1 year, but I do read and keep up with all the things going on and sometimes add my 2 cents worth. This last trip, we left home (in our motorhome) on Feb. 2nd for AZ., and got home on April 23rd. We were in Oceanside, Ca,, for 1 week visiting some friends from our area, who were renting a beach cottage. We spent 1 month in Phoenix at a RV park, so we could go to Mariner Spring Traning games. We were able to attend 12. The weather was fantastic and we aquired…

We got home April 19th and it was still cold and rainy. Our daugther kept telling us not to come home, but to stay where we were nice and warm. We did have such a great time and loved all the warm, hot weather that we had. We've got caught up on all the things that we needed to and now are ready to play again. No more long trips until July, just shorter ones. We didn't do any crabbing in OR or WA, because we didn't want to freeze sitting there waiting for the crabs to eat the turkey legs.…

We are now in Bakersfield, CA. We just left Las Vegas after spending several days there. Did a lotof exploring and found the quilt shops for me and the shops that my DH wanted to go to. We ate a few lunches and dinners out. For my birthday, we went to Sam's Town where they had steak and lobster as a special. That lobster is a favorite. Before LV, we were in Bullhead City and spent time with my 88 yr old aunt. She and DH are getting ready to head back to ID for the…

We've been to Yuma, Casa Grande, Tuscon, staying overnight in those towns and exploring other town and places there, since we left San Diego. Tombstone, is a touristy place, but really enjoyed it. I've been collecting fat quarters from every quilt shop I've been in and hope to make a quilt from my travels. Last night, we stayed in Florence, AZ at a nice RV and very friendly people. Today, were going to Phoenix, where we'll probably…

Sharon, Oh, yes. They served us halibut too! I wanted a better photo of that snarky moose, whose antlers we about the size of my hands sticking up on top of his head, but I listened to our hosts and stayed far away from him. That was the best I could get with my zoom lens!
Hi Sharon,
Oh, thank you so much! I think it's wonderful that you make quilts for Project Linus (I'm a member of a local charity group here in Chandler called Peace by Piece - we make quilts for kids in crisis - police, fire department, hospitals etc., give these quilts to kids). Your Project Linus quilts are absolutely precious! I certainly haven't made that many quilts at all.... yet. LOL LOL
How neat that you're coming to Phoenix again! It would be an honor to meet up with you when you come out next year! I'm always on the look out to spend time with someone who knows "quilt". It would be so much fun to meet and talk "quilt". Have a great week!
Rusty : )
Hi Sharon,
Thank you so much for commenting on my blog about the doll clothes. I really appreciate what you said. It is a pleasure meeting you and I must say that I really love the work that you do! Have a great day! Rusty (Dawn Frisch) : )
Those black and white log cabin blocks are the block exchange we are doing. Each of us have a dfferent "pop" color for the center. Yellow, red, green etc. Hopefully this will work out well. I like mine and other colors should brighten them up.
Hope you are having a nice weekend. It was 50 here today! So Spring is coming. It is been a cold and snowy winter.
Thank you Sharon for the the nice post on the Oak Leaf quilt. I wish I had waited until I had quilted it before I put the picture up. Got in a hurry. I had it cut out for about 2 years and in one of my plastic project boxes. Now to get it finished. I just sent some log cabin blocks in for an exchange and will get others back. I love your quilt and plan to set my together like that. You did a beautiful job!
Sharon: thanks for the birthday wish...Yes, Pullman was great. Today we head for Seattle for my big day tomorrow. Will keep you posted.
Elegant?? That is a good word to describe my picture!! lol Thought I would have some fun with it. We were eating at a mexican restaurant and it was my dgs 11th b/day. They came and put the hat on him and he was so embarrassed, I put it on me to show that we can laugh at ourselves and it is ok. He ended up wanting to wear it the remainder of our lunch!!! Thanks for your comments on my quilt bargain.
Thanks for your compliments on my quilt, Sharon. Hope you are much warmer than we are here in southern Manitoba.
You are so welcome Sharon, thank you for your comments on my blog!!
