Items of Comfort

 

Giving away the family cookie cutters, somehow I squirreled these away for myself..Why?    Oh, my, Grandma, you would think me nostalgic and a bit nutty, but they remind me of you and all your great treats.
Below, a random old orphan block, now a fun potholder!!
Cuttings from a friend's Coleus plant...season is over , but I do love Coleus.
I want the grands to realize that I am a cool and awesome grandma.
I will pass on the purple hair, the nose ring and belly button ornament. I was looking for old jeans to slash with the stylish cuts, but the grandchildren did not think I would look that cool!!


A friend told me about this site: 
I think she may be my  new best friend!!

Just finishing this small quilt for a stuffed animal or doll.  It matches the baby quilt I made from scraps.
It is so beyond me that after sewing for 60 years, I still can end up with a small quilt having very, very wavy edges.  I am disgusted with myself.  I know the stuffed animal will not mind, but hanging it on the wall is out....UGH!!



Above, the quiltlet lies among the mess of my unfinished quilts.
Yet, here I am...lazy and doing nothing but sitting in the sun, and/or reading or touching fabric
Just like an old lady!!!
