That New Phase of Life

June 8, 2022
Last night was the end of school celebration at Grandma's house.  For a special event, Grandma allowed McDonald's delivery via Door Dash per  Lynsey's request.  A good time had by all.

This morning off went my dear grands to live at their mother's house.  After 8 and a half years, it is a big change for all of us.   All these friends came this morning to help them pack...How great is that!!.

One of my favorite old quilts I made, now hanging on my wall.
It is African fabric and Australian fabric in a large snowball...
Did you not know???   I just love fabric...

I have a few antique quilts where green was faded to  brown.  I was looking online to date these quilts when I found this interesting article about the color green: Why Green Can't be Trusted
Fun article, but I still cannot find the dating clues.  One of my quilts is a red Peony from New Hampshire and the other is a Lady of the Lake quilt, half a brilliant gold, the other half that faded brown.

Moving the quilt hutch, formerly  the fabric hutch, formerly Mother;s china closet.
All this prep, let to a great display on the sofa.

Good bye picture made me cry...felt like loss all over again.

My darlings look just like their mother.
