DL #2 picked up these frames for $2.00 and with lettering from the dollar store, paints she had, made wonderful windows. A little time, a little money and loads of creative ideas. Very nice.

Only Grandma Noticed
It could be said that I love my children and Grand's just a bit too much. I pretty much think everything they do is wonderful.
When I arrived at Son #1's to have him drive me to the airport in February, the laundry was on the clothes line. But, look and see what Grandma noticed.
Could this picture be anymore Sweet ! Baby sleeper and Big boy under's.
Just TOO cute ! !

Living with Quilts Around My House
Recently, reading a blog forum about how pictures make your posts better, they talked about lighting, balance and behind scapes of each picture.
On an average I shot 6-8 pictures of everything I take pictures of. I figure if I go to all the work to get it out, I'm going to over do it.
What if I didn't ???
We live with my quilts, we use them, wash them and love them.
So, a few nights ago I walked around the house.
Husband with his fishing trip quilt, no quilt is softer.
Corner of the couch.
How many quilts to you sleep UNDER at night?
Us, three Beth quilts and one down !
Computer quilt, for wrapping up in as I blog.
And my sewing room wall, as I see it daily. You will also notice there are no Quilt Ladies Book Quilts out, they are put away and used for shows only !
Enjoy your quilts ! We do !

Quilted Rocking Chair Back
Quilted Rocking Chair Back
A quilt can become something different.
I enjoy the Amish colors and working with them is always fun.
I think this is the first time I used a dark batting and it makes a world of difference with the black fabric.
This is my Great-Grandmothers rocker. A very long time ago, I'd said to my grandmother, "What a great chair," and years later she arrived one day with it for me. With them both ladies gone, I just like setting is in, it brings me peace.
Sew Happy,
Beth
Sew Happy,
