Releasing now. 8/30/2019
I have been doing some sewing- quilting since we last met. Rather than boring everyone with multiple new posts, thought I'd try to list them all.
Grab something to drink while you look at what I've been up to. Hope you'll take a moment to leave some comments.

Saw them first on Bonnie Hunter's blog. Also inspired by Crazy Mom Quilts.
String piecing is just so much fun. Once you get started it's hard to stop. Bright colors I thought would be great for a quilt for our bed. Sounded good til Don said too bright for him.

Part of my life for more years than I care to remember. We had it our other house. We lost our home in a house fire, 1993. The treadmill was in the basement. We went back to the house to see what we could salvage. Beep, beep.... where is that coming from...the dreaded treadmill.

Well it's August, 2017 and after 17 years as a Stampin Up Demonstrator, it's over for me.

Surprise, I'm not dead. I had some moments of wanting to give up as life felt a bit stressful since my last post. I've just completed 6 weeks of a caregivers workshop to discover that caregivers have to take care of themselves.
First let me catch you up on Mama and life in general. Someone at Caregivers saw my blog and said it was time to update it.

Mama is 91.5 and up until now very healthy, driving, independent and in her home since 1946 when she came to this country from Cuba.
6/30/14 she had diarrhea which upset her and she continued to have it daily for over a week and then off an on for next 2 weeks.

I have bunches of fabric and I have this fear that I'll die and he will just toss it all out not realizing how much I have invested. So goal has been to make some preemies for Brenners Children's hospital to use some of it up.

So I came home with a huge box. Thank goodness I gave 1/2 away. Still have a very nice stash. Decided one day to see if I could create something using one of the pieces and this is what I came up with. I also have a lot of yarns. Faced the back.

Hard to believe we're almost at the 1/2 year mark. The older you get the quicker times passes you by. Are you too busy to stamp these day. If you think it's hard to gather up all the supplies to make a card, then you might want to consider Stampin Up's Paper Pumpkin. It ships to you monthly with all the supplies to make the projects they have Joan Whitsett Lowderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18097078878992576563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292705665370035825.post-4399460407566636952014-05-27T03:58:00.004-07:002014-05-27T03:58:43.322-07:00Holidays..... over before you know itHope you had a nice Holiday weekend with family and friends and took a moment to remember those who have fought to defend us and others.
