Nora is here

-
Welcome to Fall! My favorite time of the year. The only thing that makes my days better is having Hugo, Jennifer and Nora here. They arrived and we have been blessed by lots of baby smiles. Nothing can warm a grandparents heart like those sweet smiles when you know she is recognizing you.


We had a family barbecue on Sunday and here is Grandpa holding Nora. We had a gathering of the cousins. It was really nice seeing everyone again.


My girls Ginny, Carrie and Jennifer and their two cousins Tammy and Alicia and the cousins kids.

Sylvia has moved into the dorm at PSU and Nora was taking a nap.

Nice memory making day.

My friend Dorothy and I went to the Portland Art Museum on the 12th to see the special exhibit of The Art of the Louvres Tuileries Gardens. It was wonderful. We went to Paris a few years ago and walked in the Tuileries and visited the Louvre. Seeing the exhibit made us feel a pull to go back but a sweet reminder of some really special days. I loved everything we saw in France. I left my heart in Paris!

######################

I want to thank all of you who have come to the studio and stitched with me. I feel very privileged to spend time with you, learn from you and be encouraged by you. Having you in my favorite space is a huge blessing. Thank you so very much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The block of the month is almost ready. Leigh's quilt is finished and ready for viewing. My blocks are in progress and are ready to be packaged up. Here is picture of another of the blocks.


During the Open Sew class on October 12 you will have an opportunity to view the finished quilt. Please come by between 11-4 to see the quilt and maybe decide to sign up. I will have some kits available to take away that day.

The first month will include the background fabric for the first two blocks, the wool for both blocks and two balls of perle cotton for stitching. The cost for the first month is $32.00. There after you will receive two blocks with the wool and the background and the cost will be $22.00 per month. They will be ready by the second Sunday of each month. I will let you know the cost of the border soon. I think it will be fun and it is certainly good for a beginning project in wool. While you are doing the BOM, you are welcome to come to the First Friday class each month at no charge to work on your blocks.

Any Questions? thequltingb1947@gmail.com or call me 503.680.7436


I think that's it for now!

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

Coming out of hibernation

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
