Front Porch, Flowers, Quilting and A Place To Call Home!

Warm days, not much lounging on the front porch!  
Huge, isn't it?!
Pretty pink flowers!

A vignette on our veranda.  
A peaceful afternoon on lower patio---waiting for a Hummingbird to fly in for a drink! 
Deanna, Kathie, Martha and others quilting at our Church.
We quilt every Wednesday from 9 to 12...
This antique 1930's quilt is on the frame rack and ready to quilt. 
Love creating small quilts for the table frames.
Almost finished working on the house block for the frame.
 
We have been watching a TV show that is on Acorn ( TV.) It takes place in the 1930's-- rural New South Wales in Australia---so well written and the actors are wonderful. It is very fast paced and exciting! Gene likes it too! I'm sure you can rent at a video store or check it out from the Library. If you Google (Trailer A Place To Call Home/ season 1 ) you might get hooked :)
Hope you all are having a great summer!
Hug's, Carolyn

    You have a lovely setting where you can enjoy your flowers and nature.
    Seeing your church quilting group makes me miss mine. We used to meet at the same time yours does. But many years ago most of the ladies became too old to get out, and a few moved. We haven't met for years and there are only two of us left in the congregation out of a group of about 13 that are still quilting on our own.
    I haven't heard of that series.

    So there really are quilting bees where people sit at a frame, quilt, and chat. How relaxing it must be and such good companionship.

    Lovely photos! We like a lot of the BBC programing that we view on Netflix, but A Place to Call Home really looks good (not on Netflix). I wish some American programs would be produced about those historic years.

    Oh what fun to guilt with a group of ladies on a project. I've never done it but am sure I'd enjoy it. I love the 1930's quilt!

It's That Time Of The Year Again!!

Fanny likes decorating for fall ...she has her little pumpkin pale and ready for beggars night!      Made this quilt a few years ago. One of my favorites!  "Bad and Happy Jack's" a Fon's and Porter design. Some are happy and some are bad🤐 Love the candy corn fabric. He is a happy camper!! He is not happy..where is my candy corn! Tee hee 🐱maybe the cat ate it!! Another must is Mr. Scarecrow. I was in a swap and "Montana Weber" was my partner. We made and exchanged three pumpkins for each other. These are the ones I received from her yesterday...look who has them now!!  She should receive hers Monday. A wagon full of pumpkins.   Miss Witchie saying.... "Boo & Scare"! Always fun to display the c.c. stitch pillow hanger. A "Lizzie High" design.   Made some Salsa a few weeks ago ..still displayed on the counter. 😊 Below are the Hummingbirds trying to fatten up before going South on there long journey.   Have a great month!  Stay safe. ...

Hello, How Are You All Doing?

Thinking about all of you during these trying time and hope all is good with you and your family. Found this statement with a special message for all of us giving up "Hope". Thought I would share with you as to what I have been doing while being home with Gene and keeping busy! Made this shoulder bag to hold my cell, necessary information, and my mask fits around the strap,---  "handy"! Made a new small patchwork bed quilt for "Miss Hitty"!    We have 6 grandchildren. Three boys and three girls. Three grandaughters have graduated from ISU . One grandson is sophomore at ISU and other grandson is attending UNI . I have made graduation quilts for all six. Our youngest grandson, Joe graduated from high school this spring and is now attending ISU in Ames, Iowa.  Had fun finding plaids and ISU prints for incorporating into the design of this quilt...a few of these plaid came from grandpas shirts....this is "our" secret,  okay!!  Joe (3) licking the bea...

New Year, New Ideas, Projects To Work On and Packing up Christmas 2016!

planning my next projects... Digging into my lace box, so much fun! I layered some lace trims together getting ready to make a zipper pouch. This pouch inspired me and was pictured on Rag Bag Gals Group (on Face Book).    Then, I saw these two bunnies...more fun ideas! Started this table topper before Christmas ---as you see, didn't get it finished. I plan to finish up and it will be ready to use next year!  Christmas treasures of 53 years ready to be packed up. Here we are--- Mrs and Mr Clause. Santa is saying "Bye, Bye  and Happy New Year Dear Friends." Sharing with each other our sewing,quilting projects and fun craft ideas is always so inspirational! Thank you. Hug's, Carolyn
