Yaaaa, Spring is almost here

My Dutch kids have been here visiting for the past three weeks and now have gone home...boo! It was great having them here and has given me a chance to spend time with the lovely Nora. Here are a few of my favorite pictures,

All of us girls were shopping on Hawthorne and stopped for Crepes and Nora was keeping us all giggling.

More later....we had such a good time. She changes each week. Wants to crawl and loves to stand up holding onto your fingers.

A couple of weeks ago  Pioneer Quilts was kind enough to host a group of Primitive Quilters that share on a Facebook group. We had a nice time and I took a couple of pictures of people at my table.

Brenda and Julie

This sweet lady was showing us the coolest bag made from screening.

Kathleen and Susan

It was fun stitching with everyone and seeing what all they were working on.

I ordered one of the doll beds for Nora to have on her first birthday. Jennifer decided she would need a doll and some clothes. So here is Nora's doll Effie and her first dress. My grand daughter Sylvia, embroidered her face.

And one last picture of Nora!!
