on her own,...

A chance to sew--June BOM done by
Debra
I finally got a chance to sew again. I stitched the June BOM applique
lady bug. I've tried to send a picture of it to Teri for the gallery
but my e-mail isn't working. Probably is some hitch in the program
because of the new computer and Agent software upgrade. I'll have to
get DH to find the...

first crazy quilt by
julia sidebottom
Just looking at a post a moment ago reminded me that I just recently
made my first successful crazy quilt top.
For whatever the reason I have always been afraid to make one. I did

patchwork and that was such a disaster I was...

Finally Finished! by
Nancy in NS
I finally finished my grandson's crib quilt, and just in
time as his ETA is this Monday, the 21st. As always, there
are many little mistakes and the quilt was another learning

Well, it has been 2 months since DH passed away( June 14th) and I am still a
