The best day ever continued....

I am not sure why I could only load 4 pictures, but I couldn't leave out the rest of this amazing stuff!!
Roslyn sent me a towel with KANGAROO"S on it...if that isn't the most fun!

But look at the fun. When you open up the pin cushion you find an embroidered pin cushion with pockets on all sides loaded with fun treasures! There is a bookmark, some needles, a clothes pin...just look how amazing all this is!! I feel so blessed! I love the little scissors in the case, the thread, the pens and pencil, the tape measure with a sewing machine on it! Thank you so much. This is her first swap and mine also and I am sold! Thank you so much for trying so hard and doing so well! I love, love, love it!!

Happy Birthday to me!!

How sad is this really!!!
June 11 and I am 52 years young, but ...look at this, "over the hill" balloon on a wheelchair.
Sadly this is where I sit everyday! It has been 6 months but by my next birthday I hope to be liberated!
Sarah greeted me with this on my birthday and we did laugh all day long!

Then Natallie came in and she had made me this amazing pin chushion and catch all. It is perfect and I love it! I love the fabric and I love the design. This had me smiling the rest of the day! Happy Birthday to me!

Civil War --Kingston, Missouri

We had a great time this last weekend in Kingston, Missouri. We were invited to make a quilt to raffle and be a part of the Civil War Reenactment festivities. It was a great weekend. Alan got to meet President Lincoln and Ron got a great new hat! And look at that AMAZING quilt show! We had a great showing and lots of participation! It was so much fun to all be out there together. We all got sunburned but we will live to do another quilt show...next weekend in Cameron! See you there.
