My first car was a red 66 Comet.
I am in a Canyon in Nevada, and there is no cell service. I will be behind but hope to catch up next week. The rivers are running very fast with snow run off and the pictures are just amazing! We are in the Ruby Mountains! Beautiful country!!
We are lucky enough to have a book store on Main Street & the public library just a block away from downtown. Reading is a great way to escape. Happy to say my granddaughter loves to read her Dad’s childhood books 📚
Was Pretty Push Button?
I need to break the habit of sewing over my pins!
Hi Pat,
I would like to break the habit of having too many projects going on at one time. I know you are good at this but it just frustrates me. I recently retired and love not having to be on a schedule with my hobbies.
Thanks for sharing all the new fabric lines.
Hi Pat
My book club is reading The Husband Hunters , American heiresses who married into the British aristocracy . Definitely challenging my comfort zone. We’ll see !
I am reading four books at once! I usually don’t do that but I have 3 chapters to read and discuss at my women’s group this Friday. We only meet once a month. The other three are library books and I will need to return one on Tuesday…can’t renew it again. The last two are renewable. I like to read fiction that usually has some quilting in it, so finding those is a challenge. Books with an Amish theme do. It’s just light reading before going to sleep.
Hi, Pat! I’m reading an e-book, Chocolate With a Side of Murder by Meridith Potts. I love reading cozy mysteries! Hey! That’s a good name for one of the quilts I’ve made! Cozy Mystery! Woo hoo!
I love all of your block of the week patterns!💕
Thank you so much!
I am reading a book called Goose Tracks by Earlene Fowler. She has a whole series of mysteries with quilt block names for the titles. Descriptive writing. Fun read.
I have a habit of starting new projects, then life gets in the way and I kind of loose the luster for that project. But I have started to finishing them because one I’m running out of those project boxes. I mean seriously how many does a girl have to have, and I have alot. So I felt it was time to work on those projects to free up those boxes for another day and another project.
I have 2 featherweights one black with the birth year of 1952 after my husband who is no longer with us. And one white one with a birth year of 1964, no ones birth year in particular. My girlfriend and I each bought these featherweights at our local quilt shop. She bought the black one and I bought the white one, which they had both belonged to 2 sisters in PA. After the sisters passing the machines came to CA. My friend and I live in different states but are connected by these sisters 2 machines.
I don’t know if this is a favorite memory but it is a important one. When I was growing up my sister and I were what you called free range children. We use to go to the park alone, community pool, ride bikes without helments, and go to the library. We were like 8 and 10 years old. Anyhow one day we went to the library and a young kid was on the ground by the front door. He had ridden his bike there and when he past a rose bush his ankle hit a big thorn. It punctured a artery and blood was pumping out everywhere. I was both mortified and fascinated. It was probably why I became a nurse and not a gardener. 😉
As a quilter, I want to break telling and showing people my mistakes on my final quilt. They don’t need to hear or see that. Also my Featherweight is a girl and her nickname is “Pretty” much like my first car was in high school back in the early 70’s I had a 1966 Mercury Comet and she was named “pretty”. Everything I own are female.
