OLD Ladies ROCK - A Bike Story and Aging 

Old ladies ROCK, a bike story


Well, I'm going to have to face the fact; I'M OLD. I have gone kicking and screaming (and Laughing) into middle age but yesterday
was the end all of end all.
We volunteered at a Triathlon in Des Moines, IA, it's the swim, bike, run thing and we were bike marshall's and I loved it. Have a chair and cheer the riders on. I loved it, until....
As we (Sister-in-law #2) cheered on, one of the female riders said,
"OLD LADIES ROCK"
I haven't stopped laughing yet.
I know I (we) maybe not be riding, swimmer or running in spandex,
I know the hair maybe a bit gray, but an OLD lady. How to Survive Retirement and be Happy

I know at the age of 20, 51 is old, but please, OLD. Neither one of us have a cane, a walker or knit, well, I do quilt? Anyway, I'm claiming my 50's ! I thought the 50's, are the new 30's. Will someone please tell, the 20 year old this !

Anyway here's some pictures of the day,
Old ladies ROCK, a bike storyOld ladies ROCK, a bike story
This Old Lady Rocks, 
and today I am 65.

My Singer Sewing Machine

Pin It
I knew it was in the closet and seeing it again....
It's been a very long time
I had to say good-bye to it's original box years ago and this carpet bag 
is perfect for it.

A Singer Feather Weight




My mom gave this to me years ago and I used it for classes for years. 
She tells the story behind it.  This sewing machine was the first thing that her and my Father purchased together. She remember is being around 70.00 dollars. If they did it on payments my Grandfather would have to co-sign. They saved and purchased with cash, she said with a very large smile.  The pedal was replaced sometime ??


It works wonderful 


And So Pretty

Not Finished Quilt But USED all the Time

Pin It

I hate to say, but, I use this quilt and it's not finished... it's been SO long that is SO flat

Blue and White Flowered Quilt

I even put the binding on it, 

Blue and White Flowered Quilt Top

because it fits a table I have and having it on it makes me happy. It measures about 40" x 40" 

Blue and White Flowered Quilt

It's machine pieced 

Blue and White Flowered Quilt Top

and Not hand quilted YET ! 
Some day??? Maybe??

I'm showing the back, it's been washed a number of times, I use a 1/4" seam allowance always, you never know what your quilts will be doing for you.

Adding MY Painted Flowers to Doorway Glass

Pin It

I have redone the glass at our front door. A few of the neighbors have put the reflection paper in...

but I couldn't just do that ! 

Here's what I've been working on, making home mine.

Off to Lowes (not a paid mention) measurements in hand. Wanted it to be easy to bend in. I needed nine inches, but this was cut eight inches and they cut my 80 inches. Board is just under 1/4" thick.

Folded graph paper and did drawings of flowers and stems, cut out.

This is why the board had to bend, I didn't want nails, used the plastic nooks so it can be taken up or down as I like. Would like to do more for seasons.

FROM the Outside, How loud do you think the condo association will YELL ?  I NEVER mention what I do to them. Just let them notice on their own.

p.s. Would LOVE to paint this side too, but I'm going to wait and see, maybe picking my battles a bit?

Thanks for Asking about Everything you see Here on My Site

Pin It

Thanks for asking, here is the Basket Quilt Pattern HERE as I use it today, it's on my dress and it still makes me smile to see it. I moved it to the dresser after being on my night stand and I spilled coffee all over it and was washing it at 6:00 am before a flight out for vacation?? Crazy !

 This is one of my Basket of Applique patterns you noticed from my shelf in my office closet
The patterns are here, I've done them in fabric and now on canvas boards.

And my book The Quilt Ladies 
The Quilt Ladies quilt stories and quilt patterns on Kindle and NOOK


The Quilt Ladies NOW on Kindle and NOOK 
all for only 9.99 (USD)

All 12 of my stories and all 15 quilt patterns are in ONE book. It is on KINDLE and NOOK and I really don't think they will be in print.  I just can't do it. I know that amazon has a program, but it overwhelms me so. As of NOW, only on Kindle and Nook.  I will let you know if something changes. Plus, it would cost so much,  it's huge, over 400 pages.
