The Go Cart


I keep calling it a Go Cart, I don't know why, but I do,and this is the new addition to the family. When my husband took up golf it was for exercise and because he needed a hobby. But one year down the road he suffered pain in the knee, and officialy has gout/arthritis. He hinted, then pleaded and finaly begged for a golf cat,that was fun!, He now has one, and wouldn't you know it, the doctor has changed his meds and the pain is easing considerably! Anyone want to buy a used Go Cart! It comes with a used husband with a dicky knee!!

Love That Cider!


This is a FINISHED project! Yippee! A tabletopper using the *Cider Mill Road* charms and the *HouseBoat* pattern from Miss Rosie Quilt Company, love her designs! Of course I made it a little bit bigger than the pattern, had to tweak the measurements a bit, but all ok in the end.

Nostalgia


My Nostalgia quilt top is finished. I used the *Strips'N'Bits* pattern from Bloom Creek. I used a Jelly Roll and Two Charm Packs, I kept making the blocks until I ran out of material, so mine is a lot bigger than the pattern.It's also a bit lumpy and bumpy, I didn't notice the proper pressing instructions until I had nearly finished! It may be another project for Sarah when she comes for a visit in September!

Kody with a K


This is my latest muck up! I made a baby quilt for a new grandbaby for a lady at work...All through the pregnancy it was Cody John, I say again C.O.D.Y. When he was born I double checked.....C.O.D.Y. Correct. I went ahead and finished the lovely Winsome Quilt . Leonie was happy when I pesented her the finished item. Two hours later she approached me to whisper,Cody with a K. What is it with these young ones??? Why do they have to be creative with the spelling of A name? I have tried different ways to change the C to a K, but to me, it still looks like a C trying to be a K! Might have to wait until you get here Sarah, your talents might be handy!
