Snow

This week has been a tough one. My niece's husband (Melanie's son in law) had a massive stroke. The outcome does not look too good for him. Please keep the family in your prayers.

SNOW AGAIN!!!!  I love snow! We have about 5 inches and it is beautiful. Candi didn't have to babysit yesterday so she and Nathan spent the day with us. I'ts wonderful when they come for a whole day because we get so much done. I had planned on binding a custom quilt I pieced and Elmer quilted but we cleaned the basement instead. Melanie and I can flat destroy any organisation in about 2 hours. Candi is the organizer of the group! By the time she left, all of the sewing, cutting and quilting areas were neat and clean. I have shelves and shelves full of fabric for sale and it even looks wonderful now. My cousin Colleen spent days making the fabric shelves look beautiful. They looked like rainbows across the walls. She did this back in November and I have tried soooo hard to keep them that way but I don't think Mel tries very hard. She blames all the messes on me but I know better. I need to get binding on a quilt, finish piecing 3 memory quilts so Elmer can quilt them, meet with a lady that wants a memory quilt made out of her children's baby blankets and then I will be caught up with customers and can work on some baby quilts to sell. I have also been wanting to make some "memory" teddy bears out of mom's clothes. I saw pictures of them on the forum I belong to and they are adorable. I would like to make 1 for each of her great - great grandchildren. I know I need to work on things to put in the shop to sell but my excuse is, I have to make a few practice things so I can do it perfectly when a customer orders one. It sounds good to me but I am not sure Elmer and Mel will buy into it.

I am still working on getting pictures into albums so that anyone who visits our blog will be able to see them. I hope to have that up and running soon. Once it is in place you can just call us if you see something you are interested in.
Thanks for stopping by.
