A Work In Progress....
Back in April a cousin lost her son in a very tragic car accident he was 23... it was a month before they could bury him due to the accident which I am not going to go into...
Well since then the families have been gathering photo's for me and sending them so that I could make a ''memory quilt'' for the family... his Grandparents were here for a few days over the weekend so they have seen the start of it...
This is the quilting stage...
I chose just to sew 1/4 inch lines around mainly the larger blocks... even though this one is a sad occasion I love the journey over someones life and all that they have become...

I have the binding sewn on all I need to do is spend today sewing it down and hopefully in the mail tomorrow...
He was the eldest of three boys and such a character...

Blogging Around
Ok if you are a foodie you must go here there is 2 yummy recipes...
one is for a long loaf full of pizza topping bits and pieces... looks easy and yummo...
there is also if you scroll down a bit a recipe for a ''3 cheese spinach pie''... which also looks and sound yummo...

Here is a great tutorial for some great looking bibs...
they are designed by Lisa at a spoonful of sugar...
Lisa has a great blog of cupcakes and more...

And this one ''freckled Whimsy" ... I just love the name hahaha...
Enjoy...

  4. Tarnyia, forgot to say thanks for commenting on my blog.

    I must hurry back to my craft room, it is the only warm room in the house.

    Shall I go through some more fabric, or books, or haberdashery items, or patterns?? The list seems enless. May just knit a few more rows on my rectangular shawl!!!
