Yes, I know I’m slow. Just can’t seem to get in gear, too much to do and not enough energy.
Today’s post will be the reveal of the panel challenges. The challenge was that everyone supplied a pre-printed panel, pillow size, wallhanging, etc….. Then envelopes containing clues joined the panels as they were prepared for the [...]

The project at the Skrappies retreat last fall was a mystery quilt. We all worked for days before the retreat, cutting and sewing, thinking we would finish the mystery that weekend. Were we ever WRONG. By the end of the weekend no one was close to being finished so the mystery was revealed to give us [...]

Kerry had never been to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks so earlier this month Bill and I stopped by and picked her up and went to the aquarium. I like seeing all of the fish and sea creatures, this time they even had beavers and otters. My favorite exhibits though are the corals and anemones, [...]

I’ve been stitching the background for the jungle motif of “A Crazy World” and that means hundreds and hundreds of little french knots. Probably not a very interesting picture right now, but in a couple of days I should have something worth posting a pic.
In the meantime I’ll post pics that I’ve taken in the [...]

Woo hoo!!!! Yesterday I finished all of the “millions” of flying geese for the mystery quilt. Now I have moved on to cutting the Tri-Recs and have already cut half of the dark ones.
Feeling more optimistic about actually getting this quilt top together in the near future. I’m hoping to make it down to Lawton in a [...]

Bright and early Thursday morning we headed for Dallas to see the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit. It was fantastic and well worth the long drive there and back. Amazing what they produced with “primitive” tools. There was a gorgeous beaded band bracelet with a large blue scarab closure that I stood and [...]
