Grammy

My Grammy is no longer with us. I wanted to write how much I loved her, but just can't seem to find the words. She taught me to love the simple things in life. A life she lived each and every day. These are things she taught me (mine are in color hers are in black/white). These pictures say it all...

kitties








that is my Grammy on the far right.
I am so lucky to have had her in my life for almost 50 years.
I miss you Grammy.
Love, me

Fuzzy Edge Quilt

This is the "fuzzy" edge quilt that I made a few weekends ago. There is 3 layers of flannel. Identical on the front and back with a thinner white flannel in the middle. You cut them out in "sandwiches" and sew all the squares right sides together. After you sew the blocks together you cut the seams down to almost the thread, and then wash several times. This makes the seams "fuzzy". It was one of the funnest quilts I have ever sewn. The color choice is not my "typical" colors, but it is how the kit came, and because it is different that made it even funner.
