comes this wonderful reminder!!
Worth noting....today I ate some fresh spinach sauteed in butter like Grandma used to make.
Yesterday was a very tough day with the personalities in my family.
Of course, it was I...who thought that God needed an assistant.
My son said, God didn't and if he did...he would not choose me!!
I was beside myself...then I remembered dear Mr.O'Quilts...saying to me..
"Just go Sew!!!" So I did...hummmmm
I finished these two small quilts
Cat backing below for this red and white checked baby quilt.
the " I love you fabric" !!
Plaid fabric below for the Christmas quilt.
Relaxation in the daytime: Snipping
Picking the backings for my potholders...very fun.....All pinned for sewing at
my sit and sew on Saturday. I still have more to do...

So nice to connect with you again Diane. Love reading your blog. You always accomplish getting many quilty projects done! The small quilts are adorable. I am sure someone is going to fall in love with them. Wise husband you had! Great words of wisdom and such a great good memory of him telling you when bothered with something "Go Sew." I have a lot of good memories of my hubby. Thank God we can say that!! I haven't had an Oreo for a long time but sure do enjoy my dark chocolate from Aldi's. For the most part most of my meals are now whole foods and plant based but I do like my chocolate!!
Very wise sometimes to just 'go sew' - family dynamics can be challenging. The love you have for your late husband, your son and grandkids shines through in your words on this blog. Nice to balance out spinach with an Oreo or two;).
Life is not all fresh spinach. (Love that phrase.)
Hold on. Just keep holding on. Find your center and keep sewing if that's what it takes. Your husband must have been a wonderful guy--perfect for you. Listen to him. He still knows what you need. Sew, have a cookie, cry, order fabric, eat spinach. Then, just go sew. And do that in any order you need. :)
