It is That Time of Year Again!!


High School Softball Season!!
This is such a very busy time of the year n our home. My husband is a dentist BUT he is also the head varsity high school softball coach at our daughter's school. He has done this for about 14 years. TT's and Little M's Mommy was on his team, our middle daughter was on his team and now it is Maggie's turn.
Maggie is a pitcher and loves this sport so very much.

Sooo, to make a long story short...wait to late...I have decide to take a little break from blogging.

As you all know I get the privilege of watching my grand-babies three mornings a week. Now we add softball every day, household work, laundry, and well you know!

Something has to slide for a while.
So, yes I will be quilting and stitching and when I return I hope to have a lot to show you!

Happy Spring to Everyone!!

Marked, Pinned. Ready to Quilt.....

I am so excited my Quilter's Palette Quilt is
Marked
Pinned
and ready
to hand quilt!

This was such a fun top to make. I loved looking at all my fabrics and getting to use my favorites, some old, some new, but all favorites.

You will not see my baby for a few months as I have quite a few hand projects going on at this time.
But oh the fun!!
