Grandma O'Quilts Still Lives On

Did I ever mention that age is upon me??
Here is the potholder I made for my physical therapist...He was born in England, but has been here since high school...On the back in small letters is: "for the meanist nice guy ever".  You will understand this if  you have ever been to PT

Below, I am sharing my collection of compression socks...Crazy Compression socks out of  Hickory, NC.  I cannot tell you how much wearing them all day helps me sleep more peacefully with fewer trips up at night. I love Crazy...I have Halloween ones and Christmas, etc.
We have a lovely lady here whose joint replacement went wrong.. She is now in a wheelchair with a pillow behind her back.  I ordered a small pillow online and covered it with pretty fabric.  She  loved it..So glad....
And these great tags from a place in Malta..
random potholders:
Thank you Janet!
I have a basket of treats for gifts that I have made ahead of time.  These below are small potluck bowl covers.  Pretty on the outside, Rip Stop on the inside. (Utube has many tutes)   Perfect to cover small leftovers especially at my retirement community
Relaxing here, ironing on scraps to fusible fleece.  After quilting I will run it through my Accuquilt...a bird??  a cat??
The winner is so far, 7 inches of snow in Charlotte, North Carolina...An amazing day to relax in front of the fake fire watching the snow.  Even now, it is still snowing!!

Nice to be warm and safe and alive xo...
And, of course sewing.
