Quilts 2019

I've been busy making snuggle quilts for the new

babies due this year!

I had a lot of flannels left over from previous

babies so I cut them into rectangles and made a

small snuggle quilt out of them by adding soft

minky dotted blanket material to the back and around

to the front to make the border

 Cassie (Rory's wife) due in April  4th baby

  Michelle (Mel's daughter) due in May  First baby

Kristin (the daughter of my friend from our days in Hawaii 

now living in Mississippi's first grandbaby) due in June  

 Brynn (our friend's daughter)  due in August  2nd baby

You can tell which found out the sex of their baby and
which don't want to know!!

Walt's sister-in-law, Karen, asked me a long time

ago if would make their daughter's baseball T-shirts

into a quilt.  I'm now finished with it!

 I quilted it myself, the most complex one I've done.

Usually they are straight lines across and down making 

squares or rectangles, or on a diagonal making diamonds.

It was pretty fun!!

 Some of the T-shirts had small decals on the front left shoulder

so I put them on the back of the quilt

Signing of the quilt :o)

Snow in March??

This is what we woke up to this morning

March 7th

33 degrees so the dusting we got was pretty wet

As you can see, by noon it was gone, but we still have
two small patches of snow left over from the
February snow.  That's where the snow got shoveled
to and since we have been having very low temps
it just keeps hanging on

More Visits with Ellie & Pete

Brooke and family were heading to Mt. Rainier

National Park for Winter Break and of course

no dogs are allowed so they brought Charlie 

over one day before they left.

The kids showed some interest in their mom 

and Auntie Amy's old ballet costumes

so I hauled them out from under the stairs

 Some were too big

 but others fit Ellie pretty well

 Such a good poser

 Pete even got into the box

but it got a little cold in the basement

 When we took Charlie home Pete got out

his bowling game from Auntie Amy 

and Ellie did her homework

Fun Times!!
