in my sewing room------ much needed rain!

today is a good day to be in the sewing room, I have been getting some more blocks ready to make more spider web blocks for the quilt and ironing some strip for my quilt as you go quilt, this pattern is called Amish spring quilt, I just work on it in the winter months but thought i would get it out and get it ready to work, it will be reversable ,one side will be strip in different blues and the other side is in all color prints, it is turning out good and I'm doing it all by hand, so when it done it will be DONE!Well i guess i better do the binding on it.......
I just have little fellow today and he is taking a nap, a nap does sound good but that is something i don't do is lay down and take a nap. my brain won't let me, i think of thing i need to be doing. i will have my three grandaughter this week in, their mom will be working and my grandson first football game is on Saturday so good luck to him!...
Thanking back in the days.... I was reading from another blog friend and seeing her pictures make me think of my grandma, she live in a little trailer and had a little wood stove to heat it with, i just love that little stove and would like to find one like it. I use to try to stay all night with her but i would get home sick in the late evening , i would be thinking about my dad coming home from work and mom would have supper ready ,so i just had to go home, it was in walking distance so i would tell my grandma i need to go back home and i would come and see her again. I have a pitcher that my grandma gave me when i got marry, it was a green depression glass pitcher , she would always make kool aid in it it would be orange or red or grape koolaid. I will treasures this pitcher and my grandma.....
Didn't mean to go on so this is all for now and hope everyone will have a great week in. GOD IS GOOD!

in my sewing room------ 3 blue- 2 reds- and 1one!

Here is a picture of what I put in the fair, 3 blues 2 reds and 1 white, I just enter 6 items and got a ribbon on each one, I was proud, A piece and applique quilt was a red ribbon and a baby applique quilt was red and blues ribbon was a applique candle mat, Pillow and a t -towel, the red heart applique tables runner was a white ribbon. now I will look forward to next year. I'm going on the slow side today, guess it was because the holiday week-in was busy but i am getting some washing done and a little blogging so I guess that is something. I just have little fellow today, he has just woke up from his nap so I need to close for now . hope every one will have bless day! God is good!

in my sewing room------ FALL is in the air!

No pictures, just a few thought come to my mind........
I had the two little grands today, little fellow and cupcake........
I got some sewing done on my spider web quilt , I have been trying to do a block every day and sometime 2 blocks and it will take me 7 week to get it done, I do have some hand quilting to do on my sampler quilt, 4 more blocks and the border, and them there will be the binding to do, WHEW them it will be done..............
While my little fellow took his afternoon nap, and he does take a long nap, me and cupcake when outside so she could play and i set on the porch to watch her, the wind was blowing and it was so nice to be out and watching her made me think how time goes so fast, me and my sister would play on our farm, but we also had work to do, but this time of the year we was getting ready for school, my mom would take us to get our hair all curly and them we would get a new pair of shoes and a new dress or two and with what we had we would be ready for school. My mom was also busy at home with her canning and working on the farm to get everything done for the winter months, my Dad was Carpenter he could built anything, sometime he would take me with him to work to play with other children. When years when on and it seen like the work was hard to come by especially in the winter month thing would be hard for us but we had love and food that mom had can and milk and eggs that we have on the farm, we made it and we was a happy family, I had 1 sister and 2 brothers. one brother lives by me and my other brother lives in the city, and my sister lives in Florida, and i really do miss her don't see her very much but we talk on the phone 2 or 3 time a week.........
Well this is all for now, going to the county fair tomorrow to watch my grandson pull in the truck pull and also going to check to see if I got any blue ribbon on my stuff that i put in the fair, will let you all know a maybe some pictures. Have a great holiday week in! God is good.
