Scrappy Pinwheel Quilt

GOOD EVENING

My son just has came by to get his quilt I made for his birthday. I have shared it before on here now it has been quilted so I shall show the finished product. 

I gave him a choice between the money I always gift him or a quilt.

He chose the quilt.

            

  Will call it a scrappy pinwheel.

Birthday Girl

Hello Everyone. Its been a while. Hope all is well and you have all been blessed this Thanksgiving. We stayed home. I cooked, it was just me and hubby.

Later in the day I baby sit for my great granddaughter so her mom could go to the black Friday sells. I have been baby setting one day a week while she worked it was just a part time some of the time her daddy kept her on his days off.

These last two days she has been here. She is just so precious. I'm a bit old for handing a little one but I love it. This old hen she ant what she use to be.

She has a first birthday last month. I gave her the quilt I made. She had a tough of war going when they tried to take it away from her she wanted to laid down on it right away.          

Her mom made the outfit. She painted the number one on her shirt

then made the tutu at my house. I still have glitter show up. lol

 She had the best time.

They had a bubble machine going

Baby Quilt Is Finished

I took a little trip today. I went with my Aunt too 

B J's Custom Quilting & Fabric

In McMinnville Tn

We had three quilts each to have quilted.

My baby quilt I made for the great grand is finished.

I will give it to her for her first birthday. Her Mom & Dad are planing her a big party. One she won't remember but they will.

If you ever need a quilt quilted you could mail it to them.

I took a picture of them quilting another quilt.

My aunt made this house quilt, then traded it to me for fabric.
She traded two quilts for fabric. One of them was already quilted.
Have a great day.

Happy Mothers Day To All Mothers. Yesterday was my Mother's Birthday & to day Is Mothers Day.

I made her the only thing I could. A saddle of Flower's...pretty yellow ones. Bet she is having a marvelous day where she is now.

I tried my hand at this, it turned out ok. She would have like it, she was always trying her hand

at this. She had a friend that had a flower shop, worked for her sometimes.

Would have been eighty yesterday.

Was seventy five when she left for her new home.

Update Of My Week

A week ago today was when I wrote this.....my computer would not let me add photos. Since then I have redone the computer twice so I will go ahead and post this even if it is a little late. I had to download chrome to be able to see bloggers I could not see anyone else's blogs either....so if this gives me anymore fits I will have to buy a new computer.

I just have gotten home from helping my older lady friend....I packed up a few boxes for her, she will be moving to a assisted living in Pa in a few weeks up closer to her grandson.

I took her to the doctor Monday.

Monday I told her I couldn't go anywhere Tuesday because it was my husbands birthday....to wait until Wednesday I would take her to the eye Dr. to get her glasses adjusted.

I am doing this to keep her from driving.

Tuesday she went to the eye Dr. herself then to Walgreens then to the grocery store. She does what she wants.

So she called me to take her to the Dr. Wednesday because her Medical Dr. tells her not to drive, she said to me little does he know I drove yesterday and I think I am fine to drive but he will fuss at me. lol so I took her. Then she wanted my help packing, now tomorrow she wants to go to get her hair done.

So my days are full trying to keep her off the road so she doesn't get in a wreck before she gets moved, that would just be horrible, she has already fallen while at Wal-Mart two weeks ago.  Was in the hospital had a hugh knot on her head with a black eye. I can tell she has forgotten a lot since this has happen...she tells me she doesn't remember giving her grandson authority over her. I do remember her doing this. I hope all is well here until he can get her moved she doesn't need to be living by herself anymore.

Today she gave me this, said her mother gave it to her, she said she would like for me to have it. Its so tiny, doesn't look it in the photos. Its about 3.5 inches high 4'' wide with handles.

What is it.

Birthday Presents

My birthday was back in Nov. My grand daughters Emma & Libby made these for me.
Since moving I have hunted something they would fit in, found the shadow boxes at wally world.

They only had one of the biggest ones, I waited a few weeks hoping they would get more in, gave up and went with the small one.  I have just gotten then framed and hung today.

I had to show you what my sweet little girls did for me. Love them & their gifts.

 

Have a piece of Chocolate Cake while you visit.

 

Over The Hill

I am officially over the hill today, another year older. My youngest son Derick and his family called and ask if I wanted to go eat....of course.

Where did I want to go they ask, Raphael's of course.
I just don't think they can be beat.
I had the chicken Florentine over rice no pasta for me.

                                          Our yearly Host of Christmas Past was this weekend. I
                                          went to the craft show today. They won't allow any photos to be taken.
                                          Would have love to have shared with you. Can't.
                                          

The Tornados Got Close

 April 28 was my husbands birthday...he is a old man now 60 years....with all the pains that the age brings. This day will always be easy to remember.... that night the tornados got close, really close.
I was in the bathroom and heard a roaring.

I didn't know until morning how bad it was. Power was out. Doug was at work and had a hard time getting home that night. He had heard it had hit the school on our road. My front yard in the morning....

   
    Got two trees both were cherry trees. In the top photo you can see my rose bushes are laying over.
    The tree in the bottom photo was laying on wires it has broke to of the power lines and was still     
laying on the cable line.

We were so very blessed after seeing all the damage that other has suffered. Both ends of our road was hit it went in back of us about a quarter of a mile. From one end of the road to the other is about 2 and a half miles.

The school was destroyed ......

All the houses across the road from it were destroyed as well as most on the side of it. Just one of the many places it hit that night. Two people were killed in a tailor that was in behind my house about a quarter of a mile away. They left home when the first warning came then went back as a lot of others did only to have another storm in a short time to come threw. There were three different tornados that night.

Its been two weeks tomorrow night. I can't ever remember where I took these photos. This is pretty much what ever thing looks like that was in the path.

     Sorry about the gruesome post, a update on my yard and rose bushes to come.

Libby's Birthday

 We went to Knoxville taking a bed on our truck, it looked like rain all the way.
 I  ask the lord to please not let it rain on my granddaughters bed and he didn't let it.
 Thank you Lord!
 She has left to go to college.

Sunday was Libby's Fourth Birthday. Her party was Saturday. I didn't get to attend because of the trip. Stopped on the way and left her quilt. I do have photos....

her monster truck

Then Sunday they came down here. I had ask them for Emma's quilt back to redo it so they brought it down.

 I made it when she was one year old and quilted it myself. It has not held up so well.

Can you believe the quilting on this....what was I thinking.

I am going to add to it and make it bigger, then take it and have it quilted where I took Libby's.


They should last them a long time quilted this way.  I have one quilt I took there twenty years ago and its still in good shape and I wash it often.

Come to think of it I have never shown that quilt. It is a printed double wedding ring.
Another day.

A Start & A Finish

My oldest granddaughter left last Sunday to go to school (college). She took as many of her things with her as could be loaded on her truck, we promise her to bring her bed the next weekend.

 

 (How do you like the benches)

Outside a restaurant

 

Which is going to be this weekend the same day as......

My youngest grand daughters birthday.  I finished her quilt in time, now I don't know if I will make it to the party. Her birthday is Sunday the party is Saturday. I may wait until Sunday to get it to her.

The finished quilt. I took it to McMinnville TN yesterday and had it quilted.

 

they do a fabulous job, it looks so much better then if I had quilted it.

Hubby is standing on a step ladder holding it up for me.

The quilt is 70 by 80. The pattern is a carpenters wheel.

Up close photo shows why I chose the green.

 

 

 Linking up with  Crazy Mom Quilts.

 

 

Libby & Emma

Libby's quilt will be finished when the border's are added.
Ran out of the green I was using. I may look for some other green which is what I would have preferred to use.

In any case I still have the blue. It is a bit to square for my liking needs more length so it will fit a full size bed when she gets older.

The small print is Dora. Both Emma and Libby are Dora fan's.

                             This is Libby eating cake at Emma's birthday party.

A Quilt Insight

What have I been doing this pass week, working on my last grand baby's quilt. Only she's really not a baby any more. Libby will be four in August. I have a little over a month to finish it if I want to give it to her on her Birthday.

 The pattern is a carpenters wheel. I have enlarged it using a 8 inch square. Here it is a 7.5 block when finished the blocks will be 7 inches.

 

 

We spend the day in the emergency room Saturday. My hubby has been having pain in his left arm since last Wednesday. I was thinking it was his heart. Test ruled that out. They believe it to be coming from his neck. Nothing is helping his pain so far.
 

Birthday

Last Friday was my Birthday the big six one. Hubby took me out to eat and Alicia made my picture while we waited.
