Summer Time Clothes Line

Pin It

What means Summer to you?

To me, it’s a clothes line. I can’t explain it, I’ve been trying for years and Husband just doesn’t get it.  

A few years ago, he purchased me a long rope one and it lasted about a month. Last summer I just gave up. Well, I’m not giving up anymore !  We went to Lowes, I got a clothes line and a bag of cement .

Dug a hole, cement in, pipe in, waited 24 hours and I have sheets on MY very own SUMMERTIME clothes line ! Simple things make me happy !
nothing means summer like a clothes line

NEXT, I’d like a screen door, the one that slams every time you go in and out , just like my Great-Grandmother had at her house,
 Husband said, we’ll move first……..
We’ll see……..(Has he met me?)

Happy Father's Day

Pin It
Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's 
To those who are with us and to those in our hearts.


My Father left us in 1997 after his fight with colon cancer. This is the quilt I hand quilted sitting in the hospital. 
I didn't have anything else pieced to quilt, so I just kept quilting. 


It's hanging in my sewing room and think of him when I see it.

After all these years, I still feel him with me, I can hear his voice and when I get on a ladder to do a project, I hear, "Two hands, do it once and do it right."

I'm alright Dad, Thanks for everything !

No Clothes Line !

Pin It
After the beach and all the sand, the quilts needed to be washed, the beach.

And, there is no clothes line here, just like in Nebraska bethanndoing.com


So, off to the washer and on the chairs




They didn't dry all the way, I put them over the chairs for the night.
The next morning,
it looks like they are having a quilt meeting !


All done and pretty
