Stitch ....In Hindsight

Wordless....Stitch..just wordless...

Top done and in my advanced age...one of my favorite

Katie Jump Rope fabrics used for the backing, instead of hoarded!!! 

The visit with my girl was totally awesome.

Such a lift for me..

She put all the quilts left..on the spare bed..

I can see that I just had better be gifting..soon.

 We ate out all the time.

Here the bread at our favorite restaurant..Lebanese...Kabab-je

The bread was so awesome, that we both took phone photos of it.

 I really hate making these divided four patch blocks.

I decided to mix them with easier blocks to see how it goes.

The fake oriental writing came from Hancock's fabrics in Phoenix.

My father died on May 20, 1997

My mother gave each of her daughters $200 to go to the fabric stores for 

psychic relief as we broke from the hospital routine

I bought that grey fabric then...wow..

Going to just see how this goes..

 I sent Lynsey and her great cousin Alexis upstairs to pin a doll

clothes pattern onto fabric.

Ha ha...They stabbed the pins into the fabric.

Lynsey was furious that all her 8 year old work was in vain.

She accused her darling grandmother of not giving proper instructions.

 In case you think that all I do is rant....I made binding tonight.

Had a nice rainy lunch with Sherry today.  She taught me how to talk out loud to myself.

I am to say...."Diane!!!  You can do this!!! " And other random positive things.

I have tried it already..

Thank you Sherry.

Muggs' Ugly Quilt Top..

Is there ever a quilt too ugly to work???  I think not.  Muggs got this fabric/quilt in a kit for a divided four patch from the guild to make up for a hospital quilt.  The patches alone she thought were sooooo very ugly that she could not bear to work on it any more....

I get the challenge...I hate to work on ugly too...Best to pass it on.  

  With group input, we had Muggs add the Kaffe shot cotton lime for lattice.  Still Muggs hated it...so I added now the batik border.

  The block fabric is old donated stuff.  Not antique, not vintage, but cleaning out the closet old.  Never fear...adding some pop of something new and the right colors make this quilt just a little less ugly...don't you think so Muggs?????
