A Head Start to Louisville!

This is it.

This is the completed hexagon medallion for Jeff.

The funny thing is, and I am sure you see it too if you look at it this way � those big star points? Don�t they look like dog faces? Sadie faces?

It wasn�t what I intended, I wanted them to be kind of �heart� shaped, but instead it looks like dog eyes and noses.

Happy accident? We got Sadie when Jeff was in high school. She�s been a huge part of our lives over the past 12 years, so perhaps this is a way of keeping her with us for always, too.

Something I need to let everyone know about:

When All Goes Awry, SEW!

Sometimes you just gotta say �It is what it is!� and let it be what it is. Such was the case yesterday � because things happen. When the Quilter�s Date Keepers and Quilty Pencil Sets were arriving, I took inventory of what I had in the shipping supplies department, and quickly placed a reorder for my usual Amazon Prime bubble mailers. They are usually here in two days, the shipping is free with prime, and we�d be good to go � they would arrive after our 4th of July holiday.

A federal holiday means that local, county, state and federal offices and agencies are closed. Which includes the Post Office � but not Quiltville! Yesterday was a busy travel day for me, on the way to the Indianapolis airport by 7am, making my connection in Atlanta and home by early afternoon. It didn�t give me much chance to write a veteran�s memorial post the way I wanted to, so like the federal agencies mentioned above, I�m observing TODAY and keeping these folks in my thoughts. While not a typical veteran herself, my grandmother was raising small children while her husband, my grandfather was in the US Navy. This picture was taken in 1943 when grandpa was serving as a Naval Officer in the South Pacific. She occasionally earned m...

It was a Bad Hair Saturday. But it was a good quilting day! Mona and I pushed it to the max as we quilted SIX projects � SIX! And by the time she left, I had pulled out a seventh � something that had been hanging around since 2004. We were on a roll, and there was no time like the present to do it, and no reason to stop this quilting train. Did You Click to Read the Whole Story?
