I am Thankful!!

Saturday's Smile!!

I Guess I Didn't Think Two Quilting Rooms Was Enough . . .

so I bought a little mobile home in Otis Orchards, Washington and now I have 2 more sewing rooms!!

Oh, goodie!!  It needs lots of work inside and out!!

This will be one of the sewing rooms!!

And this will be the main sewing room!!  It's the master bedroom so it is the largest bedroom in the house.

I bought this little home (her name is Nellie) so I could be closer to a Temple (I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints).  My home in Bandon is a 3.5 hour drive to the Temple on windy roads.

For the foreseeable future I will be spending time in both places but my hope is that for the long run, I will be living up here!!

I am calling myself a "Beach Bird" (as opposed to a Snow Bird, get it?)!

This is a the Spokane Temple ~

It is only 20 minutes away instead of 3.5 hours!!

So, as I fix Nellie up I am going to post my endeavors, but I am not sure I should post here or start a new Blog.  Any ideas?

Well, I'm off to get a free table from Marketplace to use as my cutting table:

Until next time!!

First Mid-Week Post in Many, Many Years!!

Oh, my gosh, life has been soooo crazy for so long I can't tell you how long!!  Like many of you, I am just trying to get through each day with all it has to offer!!  I am so very blessed - I have reasonably good heath for being 3/4 of a century old, I have a wonderful roof over my head, I have fabulous friends in my life and have LOTS of fabric - just couldn't ask for more!!

And I am here today to announce that I have actually finished a quilt!!  Probably the first one in a long time.  This is my friend, Sharon.  We walk down at the pier every weekday morning.  She offered to be my "holder".

Every year our local Quilt Guild has a Challenge Quilt Contest at the Quilt Show during the Cranberry Festival.  We are each given the same piece of fabric and we have to incorporate it into a baby quilt.  This year the challenge fabric is the background behind the turtles.

Then we do our thing!!  At Guild this past Wednesday we had a parade of all the finished quilts and they were all soooo cute!!  Mine was the only one with lots of color.

I thought I would share some pictures of what we are blessed to see each walk day:

This is one of the many sculptures created by a local business called Washed Ashore.  You can read more about this wonderful business HERE.

We FINALLY got a little rain this morning!!  It has been a very dry summer here like it has been all over the Country!!  I pray you are all blessed with the moisture you need!!

Until next time!!
