Continue reading →: 2 new veterans quilt topsWe had another great day sewing at the Montpelier Center. The Center has a daycare and today was their Christmas “show” for their families. These kids are all pre-school aged and I have total respect for the ladies who run it. It’s got to be like wrangling cats. We got…

I needed boxes for some gifts and a birthday gift for a friend, followed by regular grocery shopping. Before I left, though, I received the final delivery of clothes for the memory quilt.

Continue reading →: Memory Quilt part 1Well, yesterday was kind of a surprising day! All of our snow from past week melted in 2 days. This was all new yesterday. It was a big surprise to me because I am notorious for not checking the weather. I get up in the morning and look out the…
