What a Weekend!!!!!!




I hope everyone had a happy weekend. As I keep saying, The 4th of July is my favorite Holiday. I like it more than Christmas. My SIL asked why even more than Christmas? My answer, you get, Family, Food, Fun, Picnics, Kick-Ball, Bean Bag Toss, a new Dictionary game we played this year, warm weather, swimming if you want, and it ends in a spectacular firework display! It is a Holiday, which does not take months to prepare for and brings me such joy. It makes me so thankful, to be able to live here, and so thankful for all the men and women, that make it possible. I just love it!!

On another note, I did get two blocks done for the ATWQB Swap.
This first block was to be a “liberated” house. I hope she likes the block.



The second was to tell a story of yourself. Most of the fabric is self-explanatory.; but for those of you who do not know, my favorite color is pink and I love glitter. The little floral print has glitter.



Super fun blocks to make!!

God Bless America



Happy 4th of July!!!!





Thank you!!!!

I posted about this a while back but for those who did not read my blog at that time a little reminder………

“I found a new blog I just love called “Sew Many Ways". As I was reading her blog, my eye caught a beautiful set of Americana projects. As I started to read, I found out she was giving them away!! Yes, to the first two people who asked! I said I loved them and they showed up at my home. I am the gal that likes to hand quilt and let others do the piecing, she is the gal that likes to do piecing and not quilt. A match made in Heaven. I know exactly what I am going to do with all three pieces. The bigger one will be a perfect place-mat for my butcher block counter. The one with the star in the middle will be a pot holder I will never use. Every year on the 4th of July, we take a picture because it is my favorite Holiday; the third piece holds a picture!! Therefore, that will be a wall hanging. Thank you so much Karen, I just love them and your kindness."



Well, I got one done!! The place-mat, just in time for the Forth of July.


Thank you again Karen!

I love them!!
