About Me
I had just signed on to this web page and saw the letter from the lady who had fibramyalgia. I just discovered I have it also. And it does interfer with quilting, or even typing on the computer for any length of time. I have quilted since I was a a teenager as my mother also quilted. I quilt, read mysteries and try to stay in a positive mood.

Quilt shops in Texas?

I'm going to be visiting Texas in late Sept. and hope some of you can give me names of some good quilt shops. We will be in Amarillo, Lubbock, Abilene, Austin, San Antonio and San Angelo. I know I won't make it to a lot of shops as I will be traveling with relatives who are not quilters, can you imagine people like that??
Will appreciate any names and e-mail addresses for the shops if possible. Thanks for any help you can give me. Valma

Asking for prayers

I'm asking for prayers for a very dear friend who has just been diagnosed with Essential Thrombocytemia, which is a stem cell disease. Her bone marrow is making too many platelets. She is now taking a pill that is a mild form of chemotherapy. Please join me in including her in your prayers. Thanks.

Laundry and weeds.

The start of a new week so had lots of laundry to do as I slacked off after getting home from Nebraska. Had all 3 lines full. Sure annoys the squirrel when I hang out laundry as he wants to come down and feed in the pan we have on the ground for the doves. He isn't quit brave enough to do that when I'm there. We have 2 adult squirrels that visit our back yard---Bushy tail and WhirlieBird. And there are sometimes 2 young ones that chase each other around the big mulberry tree.
The weeds in my flo… Continue

Finally posted some photos

A friend helped me to post some of the wall hangings, baby quilts and full sized quilts that I have made. There are also some my grandmother and mother made. All are posted on my page. Someone, and I don't remember who was asking about making quilts using hankies. There are 2 photos of a quilt and a lap robe I made using hankies. They may give the person some ideas.

Off Line and out of touch

My son is taking my computer home with him this weekend to upgrade it to version 7 which I hope will solve my problems with the Connecting Threads programs. I don't know how long it will take him as he sometimes has busy weekends. But I won't complain because it is FREE service. Siince I can't spend time reading the blogs I should get lots of quilting done. Hope you all have a nice spring.

I just LOVE your basket quilt!!! SO PRETTY!

Hope you get your cast off soon.

I usually don't pick up batiks, but this one grabbed me and wouldn't let me go! I'm pretty picky about my cowboy fabrics as well, though when I see something I like, I try to pick up at least a FQ of it. This one was a 1 1/2 yd purchase. I know, I know, I should have bought at least 2 or 3 full yards, but have a hard time doing that without having a plan in place first. :0) DS thought it was a silk scarf when he first saw it. Then he touched it and realized it was "just" quilt fabric. (sigh). :0)

We've had record falls of snow in October, but so far so good in November. Yesterday it tried to snow a little bit, but the temps were warm enough that it melted what accumulated by this morning.

Have a good week! Hope you are back to typing and quilting soon! (Maybe you are still finding a way to quilt with your cast on.) PQ

Scrap quilt with the big white block centers, state flowers and handkerchief girls are the 3 I commented on. If you click the link on your e-mail it will take you to the photo that has a comment. Or you can go to your page and click on view all on your photos, from there you can click on each photo and see the comments. Just thought I'd let you know how to do that. :-)
Those 3 quilts are fabulous. The white blocks framed with black and lavender really make a statement. The state flowers quilt reminds me of my ex-husbands grandmother. She was a wonderful lady. The handerchief girls is a great way to use and preserve those beautiful hankies!

I've thought about getting a dog a couple times, but decided it would be like having a child. I really like being by myself and it's a full time job taking care of me. LOL I'm afraid it wouldn't be fair to the dog. I enjoy seeing my granddogs when I go home.

Right now the only place I go in CA is Heber. (between El Centro and Calexico) On rare occasions I go to Mira Loma. But who knows? I've gone places I didn't think I would before. If I'm ever in the Sacramento area I'll keep you in mind.

Velma, you are on my friend list. I also tried to accept you as a friend, but it flipped me back also. Don't know what I am doing wrong. Have a good night. Kit

I've also done a table runner, a wall hanging, and I have started a couple of tote bags and I have a few aprons cut out. I won't be sewing on Bazaar items this week, since we have a Project Linus booth at a local quilt show that goes through until the 26th, so we are busy. Plus in conjunction with all of this is a shop hop that my DD and I want to complete. We've been to 1 shop - 11 more to go. Think we'll make it?

Hi Velma,

I love the butterfly quilt. Is it made with handkerchiefs?

I think we have decided on $10 each and 2 for $18. Someone told me that we should charge more. She made a set and spent at least that much for just the fabrics. Most of the fabric that I used was donated. I did go out and buy more to go with what I had - maybe $25 or $30. I don't want to charge so much that they won't sell, but don't want to just give them away either. They are so easy and fun to make. When is your bazaar? Ours is in October. Let me know how it goes.
