The First!

I took my first quilting class in 1976.I was 17 and wanted to make something for my sheep farmer boy friend. It wasn't that great of a class. The teacher wanted us to make a star pattern pillow. The pillow is long gone, along with the boyfriend, but while cleaning up my sewing room I found the fabric from the project! Talk about a blast from the past. I still love this fabric! And I fell in love with patchwork quilting.

A typical sunday

A usual Sunday. I teach a 1st grade Sunday School class in the church  I have attended all my life ( 52 soon to be 53 yrs ) After morning service , we are home for Sunday lunch with our kids and grand-kids. Sunday meal rules - no pots on the table, cloth napkins only, lots of laughter and conversation. Regular house rule - spills are never a cause for fussing. Comes in handy with a 3 and 1 yr old grandchild. Papa lays down to read, soon snoring is heard from our room, the afternoon was usually spent doing dishes, which I like to do by myself and then book reading and play, but lately I have wanted to nap too, but only a short power nap and then up to play. I have a cold and not feeling too well so no church for me tonight.
