RRCB

Roll Roll, Cotton Boll:
Here are my efforts on a mystery quilt available through Bonnie Hunter's blog. I had a late start, but I am making progress. Love Bonnie, Love Quiltville, Love Quiltville Chat, Love Quiltville Quips & Snips.

 Alll my browns, pinks, and greens. You can see below that my string blocks are very neutral. I found I already had cut a lot of 11/2" strips.

This is my one constant.

 Here is everything together. You can see that the fabric is not that red. I can't wait to work on rrcb this weekend.

Happy Holidays

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I taped my little quilt up at work and quickly toke the picture - Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Visit to Granny's House

Guess who came down from Syracuse last month? Thomas!
Look at all the crabs AJ, Ross, and Thomas caught -- so guess what we had to eat all weekend?
Lots of crabs and crab soup.

Sunday, AJ and Ross went to the Ravens-Buffalo football game while Anne Marie, Thomas, and I went to the ocean. It was so warm that we had our lunch - Thrasher fries - on the beach. Thomas got very wet and we had to shop for some dry sweat pants for him to wear home.

Even Scrappy enjoyed this visit.

Mississippi Trip

AJ and I drove down to MS to see Brian and Tisha. It was an excellent trip. The weather was fantastic and the scenery was beautiful.

We all went to Tupelo on Saturday. Of course, I found a quilt shop to spend some of my $.

AJ wanted to see the car museum so we all went. You know you are old when the museum displays a car you owned and bought new! Note the red 1974 VW. I had a bright yellow one.

I enjoyed seeing a Tucker up close and personal ----

Of course, you cannot go to Tupelo with out seeing where Elvis lived.

I took pictures of some of my stuff that I made that I sent down south.

This is the quilt I gave to Brian and Tisha for a thank you.

Just want to say one more time - great trip!

Texas Trip - August

I know, I know, I am really behind in my posts. I am going to try to update each week starting with my trip to Texas in August. It was a fantastic trip despite the heat. I was fascinated with the Texas size spiders. Too bad they did not eat all the grasshoppers that were in the yard.

I got to go to Brice's school - Huckabee - a small central school like the one my children attended in New York and like the one where I taught junior & senior high school science.

I almost jumped out of Mary Beth's truck to go to the administrative office and apply for a job teaching physics. But alas, it would be a long way to commute from the eastern shore.

I love all the horses - especially little Lucky.

Mary Beth, Brice and I went to the San Marcos outlets and spent the afternoon shopping. Brice likes clothes that are "fashionable and random." Here he is wearing his grandfather's golf hat from Germany. I love it.
