I have all the borders on the first of three "Memorial to a Bridesmaid Dress" wall hangings for me and my two sister in laws.

I only tried about 6 different fabrics for that last border! The cornerstone fabric and the large star point fabric is from the dress. The center square and the small star points are a silk fabric I found that's very close in color to the dress one of my sister in laws wore.…

I know my last blog was full of depressing news. But I think things are looking up.

Cindy's remains were positively i.d.'ed, and her family held a wake and funeral (Police haven't released the body yet, but at least her family has closure). I feel better knowing she's able to tell the Medical Examiner her story now. Still angry as all h*** that this happened, but I'm confident justice will be served. Cindy's kids are with her siblings now, and hopefully they'll have happy…

while looking at some web sites for patterns.... it is amazing at what we can find - free - found one that has medical and hospital related patterns - and I don't mean for you to buy anything - the ones I found are free on internet... - and I though they could help some of you that have a relative either at home or in the hospital - and if you just google I am sure you could find more - hope it helps…

It's been a bit since I've posted anything. Work has been really hectic since the end of April. Then on top of that, I found out the first week of May that DD was getting out of school early (they didn't use their snow days), but summer camp wouldn't start until June 1st. Leaving us without any type of day care for DD for a entire week. After looking at mine and DH's work schedules and travel plans for the next couple of months, we decided the last week of May would probably…

Well it is after midnight and I am watching a movie. Hubby is already in bed. Which is a good place for him.LOL......It was a quiet day. After church we went to the cemetary. Then home and did some sewing. Trying to teach dh how to piece together a quilt top. He is doing really well, but it is a slow process. We are donating a quilt to the Eastern Star for them to auction off. I thought it would be cool for him to piece it and me to quilt it. Hopefully it will bring a good amount of money.…

This afternoon we planted the window boxes and the half barrel. The humming birds will be happy to have their favorite petunas to visit. Those little black flies were nasty, when the wind didn't blow, they swarmed around my head. I must be too sweet, they ignored my Dh lol

I unpacked my sewing project, I got a good start on GS new quilt. DH goes back to work Tuesday, I should be able to sew then.

I miss my ND family, I guess I better go see my GD this week. My son is still home…

Hello All,

I wanted to let you know what an inspiration many of you are to me! I was reading last weekend about a lot of the projects in the works and short time frames and it inspired me to make a quick gift for my son, Connor's Jazz Choir teacher. She has been a kind and patient person for Connor during his high school years and I didn't think a card…
