Carousel at the Carnival


Here is the Carousel at the Carnival again since the pictures overlapped in the last post.

Back to Quilts



Lately, I've quilted quite a few quilts. Most are Christmas presents so I can't show them until after Christmas. I can show these. They are on display at Blue Windmill Galleries Here in Abingdon. Check them out at ...

I am working on the quilt on the left to learn how to make the stripes all line up and to make curves work in my quilts. I made the quilt in the right out of an old paisley tablecloth that once belonged to my sainted mother. I call it "Carousel at the Carnival."
I hope everyone is having a great long weekend!

YIPPY!

I just want to say how excited I am that the trickle down theory is not going to guide our economic politics any more. I see this election as a change of heart. Greed no longer will rule. Everyone will get to sit at the table, roll up our sleeves and figure out how to let America be a healthy community rather than one where our situations are dictated to us by large and larger entities that do not have the best interests of all the people at heart.
YIPPY!

A wedding


This apartment building may not look like much, but this is where I lived with my brother during the summer of 1978. JJ came up to visit me on the first of July. He planned to wait until the fourth to ask me to marry him but he couldn't wait. He asked me on July 2nd. We were sitting accross from each other. I had a state of the art cardboard box posing as a dinning room table. We were sitting on the carpetted floor eating yogurt for lunch and he asked me, "Will you marry me?" I said, "Of course I'll marry you."
When we visited the building last month, JJ asked me agian. Of course I would marry him again.

A good friend of mine, Jessica, got married on The 18th! This is part of her first dance with her new husband. We had a great time at their wedding.
Wat can I say? I am real fan of marriage.
