Well, it's done. The only yet-to-be-quilted quilt tops hanging around are two antique ones and I don't feel a sense of urgency there. So glad this one is finished! It's headed for Ginger's bed right now. I think it may be just a few days before I start piecing another top...

All done and headed for Flopsy's bed. (: Now I need to work on Ginger's.

When I looked up during communion I realized our children had lined up in age order (boys first because they were serving). One of … Continue reading Sts. Constantine and Helen
When I grow up…
How many of us wrote little paragraphs on this in fifth grade? Raised our hands and said we wanted to be ___ when we grew up? When we were choosing a college, turned options over in our minds, picked majors, sat, disillusioned, through seminars. Sometimes, slowly, practicality and realism replaced those shining dreams we had … Continue reading When I grow up…

Uploading photos now takes about 15 minutes per photo. This problem has … Continue reading Blogging questions
