A design by Nan Baker. I think it is very attractive.


There is a lot of internet discussion these days about hexagons. So here is an example of using hexagons on a quilt. this one looks like a Double Wedding Quilt.  It is an interesting one.

I love this teapot pincushion. It is so quaint. I wonder how it was made.
Hmm I went to Facebook to find this and it was not there. LOL

What is going on with me these days. I am so tired . Last night I slept all night. We went out around 11:00 this morning and I became so exhausted that I had to come home and go to bed for a few hours. It took a while to get back to some appearance of normal but I feel okay now. I think it may be some of the medications I am taking. We go to the doctor Friday and I'll ask her then what could be causing the trouble. 

Rick and Katy called tonight. It was so nice to hear from them both. Katy is going back to university in Toronto soon. My family is scattered all over the country and the USA so it is by phone that we communicate. It was nice.

Have any of you noticed that the hamburger meat has changed its style of grind. It is longer and fatter and it does not break down in cooking very well. I don't like cooking with it. Or eating it either.Ray suggested that we go to the butcher and see how he grinds it. The butcher is way over on Main Street quite a way off.

I love this picture. This little kitty looks so contented on the edge of the quilt. I can almost hear him purr. Maybe it is the colours that make him happy, they do me.


This is how your sewing machine looks to you when it is giving you a bad time and not cooperating LOL.

I like the prairie points on this block or is it a quilt . Usually once you put Prairie Points on a piece it is done and is a quilt.  I made a wall hanging for Chelsea and put Prairie Points on it.

There they are. I got all the fabrics at Walmart in Delaware when Adam lived there and I made this pattern. It was fun to do . I was early in my quilting career.





These guys will make you laugh, they do me.

So this is it folks. 
Have a lovely evening.

Good night.
