No Quilting Today

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Unbelievable

Friday, June 13th, 2008

The unbelievable happened this morning. I was up a few minutes after eight and had finished breakfast and was busy working on the quilt by nine. I cannot believe what I did which caused me to have to make another trip to Ruston for more blue and black fabric. I figured [...]

Changed My Mind

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Last night I went to bed thinking about the size of the blocks for Mignon’s quilt. I had planned to have nine inch blocks but as I lay in bed thinking about it, I decided that I wanted to have eleven inch blocks.  One reason is that the picture of the three girls [...]

VBS Commencement

Tonight was commencement for Vacation Bible School and it was a great program.  The three and four year olds were just adorable, in fact all the kids were great.  And if I do say so myself, my photographs from the week were also very nice.  Several people complimented me on them which made me feel [...]

Wonderful Wednesday

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Nothing like compliments to make one feel great. Received many compliments at Vacation Bible School on my new hair do and because of that I felt great all day long. And then tonight at church, several ladies who had not seen me today gave me compliments.
I did not get to VBS as early [...]

Terrific Tuesday

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Yesterday morning I did not get to Vacation Bible School as early as I had planned but still took several pictures.  I have decided that there is something in at least one kid in every group that causes the child to turn his or her head just as you click the shutter.  Took three shots [...]

Special Quilt In The Making

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

Yesterday morning I got up at a decent hour and then spent most of the day searching for appliqué patterns to use on the quilt that I am going to make for Mignon.  I was very happy to find most of the patterns that I wanted. I decided to not worry about how much printer [...]
