She is now an empty nester and we are trying to get al the kids stuff out so she has more room to move around. Her sewing room is this week as soon as we get it donw we can do some projects we have been wanting to do. More later! Ellen

update 6/2/10

Well I will be posting a picture of the bag lady I made for Liz, but she needs to see it first so onc she receives it I will post a picture.

One month until I leave to see my sister for 2 weeks to sew together. I can't wait...I gave up going to retreat so Ican go to her house in Georgia and sew together. I think this will be so much fun! I got her involved in quilting a few years ago and now she is head over heals into like I am!

My next project is to clean my sewing room and go through my books and magazines to be able to take the duplicates to my sister......we do this alot but two and share with one another!

Well I better go Criminal minds is on.

Well I finshed block 3 of David's quilt.... So this past weekend we stayed at a farm house in southern Indiana with our son his girlfriend and my brother and sisiter in law. We all had a great time...then....last night I fell out of bed and injured my pinky knuckle got an Xray which was negative, but the doctor splinted it for the next 48 hours and if it isn't better I have to go back for another xray she said sometimes the fracture won't show up on hands for a while.

Weird things just plague me!

Some good reads!

I have been reading which is a very rare occausion for me, but I have fell in love with some books I thought I would share with you. Have you ever read any Janet Evanovich? I have found that all her books are great but the Stephanie Plum series is the best.....then I started reading the Lumby series and fell in love again these books are by Gail Fraser.

I just realized!

You know my blog says cats & quilts right? Well I do not have any pictures of my babies! So I decided to correct this tonight. Let me know what you think...I have 4 furbabies to be exact. The oldest is Naomi aka Nommers she is a torteshell we got her from the humane society.....then we have Frank the tank! He is a mancoon or Mainecoon however you want to say it or spell it....they are known for thier size and gentleness. Then we Velevet she was 1 of 4 kittens I saved from certain death, you see there was a call for help put out on a free cycle website that these kittens were going to die and was there some one out there that could help....well I am a sucker for cats so I went and got them and was able to get them to eat and go to the bathrooom. They were on the verge of as they were very dehydrated after the momma cat couldn't nurse them and their urine was so orange and concentrated that I was scared they would not make it.....Yet they all did! there were 4 total 3 female and long black haird and one male that was balck & white. I kept one, my daughters both have the other girls and my sister in Georgia took the male. Last bu not least I have Buckeye Boo...she has a story to! I was driving back from a biusiness trip and found her near some fileds with esd tail hawks circling around her. I stopped and brought her home and we decided to keep her. She is a long haired tabby and a sweet kitty!

I will post some pictures of the fabrics form my bag lady soon. I actually got mine back already from a good friend Sue and will post pictures of that soon. Well gotta go be back soon I hope! Ellen
