This year has been unreal. First in Jan we lost our beloved Aunt Betty. In July I lost my dear step sister to suicide, Aug my step father of 41 years passed away, now this month we found out DH's sister is dying of breast cancer and only has a few months left. At least we get to spend so quality time with her before she goes. Next we we are flying to the coast and taking to the ocean for a week of walking in the sand. We had to wait a couple of weeks because I had to have all my top teeth pulled… Continue

My 37 days of vacation is now over and am back to work. Spent most of it in Wyoming cutting down trees, making a rode into the property where we want our new home, playing with the DGD's, building the log worm fence on the front 1500 feet of our property. On the days that it rained I was able to work on my EPP. Very rested broke and glad to be home where there is electricity and my sewing machines are happily humming. Sure missed this blog. Have a great week.

At 6 P.M. today I will offically be on vacation until August 21. Oh I am going to miss all of you but will catch up when we return. Spending most of it at our place in Wyoming. Have a great summer everyone and talk to you later. Happy Quilting Lori

How does one get time to blog let alone quilt? Oh we humans are never happy. Just wish I could find a happy medium somewhere. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and have lots of good health and lots of laughter. I will check in on all of you from time to time and hope to spend more time this fall. Lori

I was self taught and was doing it wrong all along. Praise the Lord. I… Continue
