Kyle's graduation quilt

Kyle, our oldest grandson, graduated from New Meadows HS in ID. Kyle is Paula's oldest son Kyle has enlisted in the US Army and leaving soon for boot camp. The pattern I used for his graduation quilt is called "Gathering Friends" by Kathryn Squibb & Deborah Jacobs. I have to admit it turned out well with a lot of free-motion quilting done on the Lizzie.

Josie's graduation quilt

Josie, oldest grandchild, graduated from high school, Monroe, in Fairbanks, with honors. Here is her graduation quilt. And here is Josie at a family picnic the day after graduation. Josie is going to the Univ. of AK Fairbanks in the fall.

way too long ago

Been a while since I posted here. Had a computer crash so lost everything. Trying to catch up and get back on speed. Pics to come soon. Spring too.

Sunset tonight

I love sunsets that involve clouds. It set about 6:30 tonight. Still above freezing when I took the pic.

Lax in posting but lots of quilting!

This is one of my quilts I recently finished. I did the quilting on my Tin Lizzie. Sure is fun and I am proud of this one.

I have been lax about posting here to my blog. I know there are those who follow me but it has been months since I have posted here. FB gets in the way.

It is has been a very mild February. We are getting lots of sunshine now too with the longer daylight and the sun sets in the west instead of the south. There is more winter to come!

grandkids

Three of my youngest grandchildren have been visiting here this summer. Here are a few pics of them. They are Greg's children.

New Quilting frame and machine

I bit the bullet and upgraded my quilting frame and machine. I now am the proud owner of a Tin Lizzie 18 and a new larger Grace frame. She is up and running well as you can see here. I plan to do a lot of quilting this winter; I have friends lining up and wanting some quilting done on their quilt tops. Some are just piecers and don't do their own quilting. So maybe I can bring in some $$ to help pay for this new toy-HA!
