Sweet Doll Quilt

WOOOHOOOO!!!
I received my doll quilt from California today....it is perfect!!....a barn that reminds us of our cabin....and flag trim.....she got it right.  I do like so many colors and styles of quilts.  I do want to paint a barn quilt for each end of our gable end cabin....I have enjoyed walking into the modern quilt movement of late, and it has been fun......I will never leave my Civil War period of fabric or Dear Jane....it is rich in colors and prints.  Since I was away for awhile, it was a nice surprise in my mailbox today....Thank you Doll Quilt Partner in California!!.....

Love It!!!

You gotta love barns!!......Quilted Blessings!! Karen

Manly

Reminds me of flying geese too......

I just found a great manly quilt on Pinterest.....I do like chevrons and I KNOW the kids do too....so it may be this for our son.....smaller. There is also a Civil War Signature quilt pattern that was used frequently in the 1800's.....he is doing research with his brother and sister from letters given to U.of Michigan written home by their GGGreat Uncle on their fathers' side;  so they are very much into battles fought in Tn and Ga and any history connected to that period...and so that would be appropriate also.....
I just wanted to share the chevron quilt....it is very "cool"....as we use to say!!
But I do like the houses....people can sign the doors with their names.....another person suggested a book quilt and let them sign their name where the title would go.....
The journey goes on!!
  Quilt On!!  Karen

I am Thinking.....

I am thinking this is the quilt I am going to make for my son....he has KD and is on the transplant list now.  My hub goes tomorrow morning to do the labs to see if he could be a live donor for him....the family in Ohio is having a K5 run/walk for him in July, so I thought it would be nice for him to have folks sign a quilt on his kidney journey.  He is something!! So proud of him.  He has a family...precious wife and 2 little gals...and is finishing up his Grad Program at IU....starts that final project in January.  So, the kidney disease was a detour he was not expecting.....so I am thinking this house quilt would do....I don't know....I may change my mind into something modern but we will see....I bought the PDF pattern and have to get some manly prints for the  houses....he is such a social person...a sheer blessing!!Cluck Cluck Sew

Just Love It!!

We just got back from a work trip.....that is all done for now....I am not going to talk about it but renters can be a very bad thing......some can be good and blessing....we did not experience that....we went to this farm and saved it!!...8 work days.....so I really need to purge my mind of their way of life and dirt and do something really full of joy....and that would be our son...something for him......
Quilted Blessings!! Karen

Growing UP!

Yes, it is up! that is what Grandkids do....they grow up!!....and experience new things on their own...become such gorgeous young ladies....who love God and smile from the heart....even in all her trials with Juvenile Diabetes this Grandgal has just done so well.....when it attacked her life when she was a young 6 year old we would go out to eat and she would inform the waitress that she had diabetes and that she had to watch what she ate and drank.....she has just been a trooper and we all are amazed!!  Her Mom and her sister that is just 2 years younger has stood by her side....She recently went on a trip to DC with her eighth grade class....she did so well.....the nurse on board helped her with her insulin pump and changing of the tubing while gone....she does look more grown up now....her first bites into her personal walk and journey....we praise God for Maddie....her outlook and all her hard work in schoolwork also.....May God lead her More and More is our prayer....Maddie is on the end with a brown flowered dress and white sweater....Love her so much!!  Dobs

now really did we look so grown up n 8th grade?.....just sayin'!  Have a blessed day!!

Ellies Roses

Yes, 136 Roses......just sayin'.....I love Ellie!!

A field of Dreams.....or of Roses.....

WE were all tickled pink.....or since the roses are antique white we were all tickled "antique white"....when her quilt turned out like she wanted it too and more; especially after it was put on her precious bed, in her beautiful room on a gorgeous street in a sweet town in Ohio....it is all good.....no it is better than good....as God said It was Very Good!!....it is fantastic!!  So, Ellie, enjoy your new Rose Garden, free from thorns...no weeding....just enjoy it!!.....Sweet Dreams!!  Quilted Hearts Together, Always.....Dobbie
