Cherry Blossoms In January

Why not start Spring in January?...Crazy you say?  Not us in NW Indiana these days!  Our son has come to a twist in his transplant....but we are glad that his donor knows of an issue with her kidneys and will be checked out; so, our son will have to wait a few more months for another live donor to be taken through the battery of tests and exams to prepare for the "gift" that he or she may be giving to our son and his family.  Patience is a tried virtue in our life journeys.

So, sew.... Sew! The Cherry Blossom Quilt is to look forward to Spring and his transplant completed!

I chose Fig Tree Quilts' Cherry Blossom Quilt.  Please check her blog out and scroll down to the picture of this quilt that was entered into a Charity Quilt Auction.
 I am, now, ready to piece.  It does take time to cut it all out,  but if my new camera and I can bond and download properly later, I will give you a peak on my progress.
The winter keeps Lasting and Coming as in the The Long Winter in Little House On The Prairie stories that I read to all our kids years ago. 
 We don't have snow up to our 2nd story but, last night the big ol' cabin we live in, creaked like a barn as the 30mph+ winds blew and hit it through the night.  Early morning, before daylight,  I woke to.... silence....amazing!...
.....lane drifted closed....
gotta love a hub who is healthy and able to dig us out as needed!
So, lets' celebrate together....today..... Cherry Blossoms!!! in the snow............ Blessings!!

Baby Baby

Don't you just love babies? They brighten up the world all around them! I am just here for a minute to share a lovely Lattice Baby Quilt, from Diary of a Quilter ....Love the way the white sets off each block....take a peak at her tutorial at  Moda Bake Shop Tutorial and see how simple it is to  make and also the colors she used....

Our son is better.  The Doctor thought the lumen's look pretty good today and repeated the treatment today and will probably again on Saturday.   His donor has a biopsy next week but the Doctor also shared that to have a benign tumor on a kidney is quite common.  Of course, coming from a Nephrologist who may see them is common; to us earthly travelers it sounds..well, scary.
 So, we will continue to SEW here at the cabin and pray for all the sick and others that need prayers too, and be happy to Quilt again.
 God is so very good.....and I am so thankful that you stopped by.
My camera came today and so, be on the look out for "quilting's" here at In The Sewing Basket.......(we just watched a cute movie on "birding".....)  wink

Time to call it a day.  I hope yours was Quilted in Blessings.....

Twists and Turns

Just got news from Kevin tonight,  that his live donor,who had spent months doing tests and completing them all last Friday, had

a mass found on her kidney that was going to be the donor kidney...the Doctors believe it looks like a benign tumor on the CT but they, of course, want to do a biopsy this coming week. We praise God that it was found for her sake,  and prayers need to be said asking if she wants to still go through with this, if it is benign and how Kev feels about all of it....This was not expected but Providence, just the same. Kev is blessed to have other live donors; they would have to start the tests and etc.
 Also, on Tuesday his double lumen that accesses the hemodialysis did not look normal so,  they cultured it and started treatment. But, of course, with a kidney system in failure how much treatment can his system clear.
....so they talk with the Dr tomorrow and they may have to pull the lumen's and obtain peritoneal access again for dialysis.  This is what got infected the very first week he had that placed in November and gave him peritonitis. So, naturally, he feels defeated, of course but they are glad the tumor was found on the donors kidney.
 They trust God is the Sovereign God and He will work this out....they do trust Him but when things go wrong sometimes it seems more than one  thing goes wrong.  He does have a backup donor that they had started some of the tests on.  It happens to be one of his best friends while he grew up in Ohio....so that would be ironic and a God providing again.,bringing them together "way back then"
.... I called his Dad at work at the ER so he could pray all night since he will be awake while we all sleep....We just ask for grace and knowledge and timing and faith that all things will occur as God is directing.  They have 2 little girls that have gone through this with them....precious but worried about their Daddy....and his wife is precious and faithful.....we love them beyond this world!....Thanks for praying for them.....we hope to know something soon......
and yes, we made the quilt....it is records that everyone signed at the "walk" we had for him this summer.....they use it all the time to cuddle with now.....  Quilted Blessings!

Just Say Bake

Found this GREAT blog .....Baking....  Just Get Off Your Butt and Bake  and since we all need Chocolate from time to time.....or some ALL the time.....just enjoy!
 Enjoy your weekend, count your blessings, heat up some hot chocolate or bake something!!....You have too!!..... I have the most delicious Aunt Kathryns Chocolate Cake in my memories....we would frost it with Carmel Icing....then as a big family can do....eat it all after the supper meal.....fighting over the "heel" pieces? you betcha!! with a glass of milk?  am I hitting your warm in the family kitchen growing up thoughts?.....thought so!!

What We See

We don't always see everything that passes through our lives when we are so intent or focused on other things.  My hub had this video during his nursing orientation to the ER a few months ago....he just thought of it and shared it....how many times do the kids in white t-shirts pass the basketball....count them......


Hope you got the message.....Happy Quilting!!     Focused, of course!  Karen

Just Great

This Quilt just speaks to me!!....

Sweet Jane   she says it all....I am making this quilt, starting tomorrow....I have some organizing to finish; then it is "off to the races".....sometimes you just gotta do what ya gotta do, girlfriends!!......Quilted Stitches......Karen

Yikes! Lets' Get Organized....Organized.....

I just had to share this.....yes, I am singing the blog post title...sorry!!
Here you go.....I am almost done.....with my sewing area....my hub got me a new tall standup cupboard for my extras....and I was on the hunt on how to REALLY get my sewing/piecing/quilting area 'TOGETHER"...... So here is a link Pick Up Some Creativity and then a link to her linkSew Many Ways.....

is that a run on sentence?....yes, I still have Cabin Fever....who wouldn't this year in NW Indiana.....I am a lady that is lookin forward to March Madness!!....in more ways than basketball!!....
So! I am heading to the store tomorrow to get some Washi Tape and little infant pony tail fuzzies ..... you have to see it to believe it!!......

Thawing

Brrrrr!!

Vintage School House

These family members of close to 100 years ago may have been walking to school or home from Church.  I have no idea The frozen trees chill me.... I can only imagine....I know it is my hubs Grandmother Agnus and 2 of her 6 children...on Joy Road....near Plymouth, Michigan.
 The Ingalls and Gallups, of which she was a part, came through Plymouth, Mass at the time of Winthrop...my hubs Mother then passed away here in our cabin in Plymouth, Indiana....just Plymouth trivia....most quilters like history and trivia....or at least "pieces" of it :)
....I have a severe case of Cabin Fever....cure?.....none except daily doses of pieces and quilting and add a little knitting or crocheting until you see the first crocus or tulip push up through the cold tundra!....and jump for joy!!.....
We are thawing out....now, with some rain too....-17 temps just a few days ago....plenty of snow....sigh!!.....no we did not have to walk up our slushy lane today to get groceries...we have a nice truck.....
What are they talking about in the picture?.....amazing folks!!......Quilted Pieces today!!......Karen

This Is My World...

I do think Quilting wins as I look out the window into snow blowing!!  It was sunny this morning and seemed "warm" for January.  Now the winter winds are blowing along with the snow in NW Indiana farm fields and towns!.....is that common?....yep!

Our Cabin That Gary Built pic from Summer 2010 :)

Square in A Square Technique

When we visited the NE a few years ago, for a whole fall......yes, we are blessed!...(my Hub did some travel ER nursing contracts)....and I totally found my fabric haunts in a short bit of time, along with hearing folks there talking so much about their new Walmart that was being built, was NOT going to continue to carry fabric and yarns.  They were dumbfounded as the winters are very long (Vermont and NH) and they certainly depended on the local store to carry their supplies.

It was nice to know they still loved to knit, crochet and quilt....
I think it is important to keep these talents alive and I would love to teach anyone anything I know....and if I don't know; I will find out!....that was my answer in nursing when a patient or family had a question...and I do that now in Quilting,etc.

My fabrics in Walkout Basement Shop

I Quilt on a longarm by Gammill.  I do not have a computer guided system and do not plan to get one.  For some pure quilters that do everything by hand, the idea that I use a large sewing "head" to quilt with is not even in their book.  That is ok with me.  I respect their talent and patience and I hope to do some hand quilting soon.  But I can quilt for others or myself on my longarm.
  I  also have a couple hundred bolts of fabric of 1800 reproduction and other bolts of 1930 Vintage and then just a variety of 100% cotton, of course. 

I love to follow Jodi Barrows and use her Square in a Square technique for perfect points....and I have learned paper piecing now and can teach it.  I do love the  Dear Jane quilt and would love to share any time and knowledge that I have gained working on it.

Circles Quilted on Swoon Quilt

My Gammill Classic: Suziebell

Why I am reintroducing myself to you?.....well, I really want to get started longarming for others and "share" the fabric at a good price also.....and of course, get together to help others to learn to cut their first quilt out and understand there are NO police at my cabin/shop...in other words, the only rule I have is to have fun and share in lives.

I can do Barn Quilt Also

So, there you have it........email me if I can get that top done up for you.  My prices are reasonable.....we do not smoke and we have 2 sweet Golden Retrievers that love to be outside scouting the pond; along with Stonewall Jackson our very sweet but dignified family kitty.
Yes, I can paint Barn Quilts also in any design or colors; this one is 4x4....a very nice size....we are going to put 4 of them on the West upper side of Cabin this Spring...ran out of warm dry weather this last fall to get them up..
SOON!!! we will.
Quilted Blessings!.....Karen

What Are Your Finds today?

One of the Greatest Finds this year for me,  are these Advent Barns at....Lilys Quilts  she has the downloads on her blog...all 24....just wonderful!  Check this FIND out, if you can.
The sun is shining and that does help living in NW Indiana in December...being thankful, even for the grey.....because it is the neutral color scheme...the naturals....and isn't there a blue jay or a cardinal that may be occupying your space this winter?....maybe to cheer you up on the grey-tone days?.....I think so!!!!

Another great FIND are  these great pictures of a homestead built in the 1890's. It is close to the time my Grandfather was born in 1894... Oh, how I still miss him. This FIND was at the  Star Stitch Blog; a blog for cross stitch associated with the Kansas City Star Quilts  it has been  a great source of patterns for decades now.

 I do Hope you enjoy my musings and FINDS as much as I do and did..........

So, sew, get busy girlfriend!!.....keep those hands and hearts busy!....Quilted Blessings!  Karen

The Greatest Gift

Open

Ann Voskamp, a "gifted" writer, has penned the most splendid book that I could ever imagine for the Christmas Advent Season.....will it be used as the Pilgrim Progress of our Day?....we think so.
Ann  has traveled the road to Bethlehem through her own pain and then rejoicing..
 She gave us our first Advent Journey and we will never be the same; thanks to her and God. I wanted to share her book...you can find it on Amazon...give it to yourself or someone you love as a belated Christmas Gift, but then God is never late; He is always on Time....He is Time.....He is the Birth on the rags in the Manger....the blood on the "filthy rags" that we cannot atone ourselves....as Ann so well puts it.....
My parents use to read Readers' Digest.....may I suggest that we Digest by Reading Gods' Word and find people like Ann to also read.....
"Grace is weightless".....just ask the Angels that Day in Bethlehem.....
We can live in that weightless place....His Sovereign Will...Oh,....Amazing Grace!!.....

Quilted Blessings!!  Have a Blessed Day....  Karen

Are you doing any hand work today?....quilting?.....knitting..... I am working on a paper pieced Star of Bethlehem today.....  Ham to enter the over soon.....eating a simple ham and salad supper later with my best friend...Gary.........

Christmas Quilts

I had every intention of making a Christmas Quilt this year but time got away from me.  We decided to paint the stairway to the loft and finish putting up pictures on that...I decided to order Vintage posters of the WW1 era on the American Red Cross and the need for women to knit Sox for the war effort. These will look pretty cool, I think; plus add Norman Rockwell pictures and family picture collages....well, hub got sick in the middle of that and started working nights.....SO!!..... we have the ladders up and really, we are almost done but just not alot of get up and go left after his severe cold and now it is time to go back to work after a few days off. He needed rest to "get over it".....ha, funny how that remark is used in others areas of our lives so often....or atleast in our thoughts....
Rabbit trail....sorry!
So, here are some Christmas Quilts from Pinterest.....I looked at the web sites with each one but was not that excited to share them too....so just enjoy the quilts....and I hope that Jesus is warming your hearts this Christmas Eve and tomorrow Christmas Day.....Christmas is really all about forgiveness.....Forgiveness that will be coming as our King grows up to be Gods' man that will take our sins to the Cross....but for now,we can rejoice in the baby...God from the Womb that came to be our Sovereign Messiah and King......God Bless You.....Quilted Blessings too.......I will be doing some quilting tomorrow.....families are all home in their own warm abodes  spending time with the kids they are raising and have raised......we rejoice in our warm cabin and a nursing job for my dedicated and faithful, loving husband and best friend.....Karen

Helping Hands

As life goes on, we can help another person up...we can do that through just listening and praying to our Creator for their needs known and unknown.I had a sweet call from my older sister tonight, we had so much fun and lots of work together those years on Cherry Street. A large family to work and care for...she quilts with arthritis now, it hurts?....yes, but she keeps going on...Love her.
  God holds us in the hallow of His hand.  Time does age us all...one day at a time; as a 100 year old,  handsome man once told me from his hospital bed...bright and cheerful....he was content with his Century of living and ready to meet his Lord.  That is sweet and I am SURE he had struggles along the way...many, as we all do.  Learning to live in His presence may be the whole purpose of belonging in His family....just lean down and help that person....you will find them if you look for them....of course, one of my answers to a need is to give them a quilt too....
God bless you in the way that you need this Christmas....43 years ago I had just given birth to our first baby....a girl....and her Daddy was in a far off land in a war that no one wanted but over 50,000 gave their young lives for.....we had our first anniversary with him on his bunk and me on his parents farm...making cassettes of baby noises to send to him and pictures galore...my family reached into my life then....loved me and loved my baby and loved my husband....Love Is The Greatest Gift....given to us in Bethlehem...with a tiny human heart that would grow into a man that would be pierced on the Cross and shed once and for all....for us all......He reached down and "helped" us all..........  Praise Be!!.....maybe Mary was a quilter?....I bet she was!!.....Blessings! and have a blessed blessed Christmas Eve and Day......Karen

Cabin Fever.......Quilt Displays

Love the Alternating White Clams!!

I had alot of fun being part of Doll Monthly  for most of 2013, but due to quilting at home and also our sons' soon, we hope, coming kidney transplant I dropped out for a few months...but during that time I have received more a blessing with the small quilts that were made for me than I am sure I sent to them!!...so, I decided to use the new yellow (happy color) stairway walls to display these small quilts along with our family pictures...it is going to be hard to decide what pictures too. I don't know about you but once they are in a frame it is so hard to change them out!!....so I do want to add this Clam Shell Quilt idea I found on pinterest...don't you love it?....the quilt and Pinterest? heehee.....I think I will make a small 4 Sunbonnet Sue in vintage fabrics also to add to the  other small quilts....put up the Quilt sign and I am good to go!!...Quilting that is....Always and Forever!!.....
I also think a ladder at some point and where will also be used.......yikes!!....don't run away from me Honey-do hubby!!!......Blessings!! Karen

Quilt Pins and Charms

Love Normans' Paintings!!

New Find.....I just have to share...as it is Christmas and you might be looking for just a small gift for someone special...or another Quilting Friend....or in memory of that Quilter?....anyways here is a link to a terrific site....Pin Peddler....and today it is free shipping on a 10$ order....there are quilting lapel pins and also charms....I made a set of earings with quilting charms on them by purchasing the "make your own earings" with 2 charms.....I sent a thimble to my daughter in honor of Grandma Abby, my mom, who quilted up a storm while she was a living earthly soul....now she is living in Heaven....and I also sent her a school house lapel pin seeing that she is now teaching school and it was also my first favorite Quilt Block!!....So, have fun at little expense today.....and you can not beat free shipping this time of year!!....It is just today....

Fabric Pine Cones?......Wonderful

Wonderful!!

I am so thankful right now for  Aunt Reens' Place, and her tutorial on making Fabric Pinecone Decorations....I think you could use the bright new vintages that are so popular too, or the Reproduction 1800....either would float my boat...how about you?
This is something to do today.....
Tomorrow?....
I hope to audition my hanging quilt by our fireplace soon!....my handy hub just started working a new shift at the hospital and has a cold...so, yes, patience is a virtue....
I remember my Mom standing over my shoulder, as I was learning to sew....saying, Karen you must learn patience.....then she would sit down and undo what I had done wrong with me watching...I did learn and I think she was learning patience too....haha.!!.....

I am on her lap here....Easter I bet!.....oldest Brother is taking the picture....notice our new TV behind us....he told me that the clown on  Happy Doody Hour was INSIDE the TV!.....Oh, how I believed him!!
Quilted Blessings...we are blessed so we can be THAT blessing!....Karen

Its' So good!!

Hibernation Is NOT just for Bears!

Naughty or Nice?

I think I am hibernating...winter has hit fast with its' wind and cold weather....when I run out to the garage the poor Goldens' think I am heading for my "walk"....I wish....sweet Sunny Boy just gets into a fast pace and looks back at me and says...."Come on, girlfriend, get your walk on!".....
Christmas is soon approaching....I have been enjoying Ann Voskamps' The Greatest Gift on the Advent... she is amazing....

Just cute!!

And, of course, I am a Santa Gram.....totally.....I do enjoy the little ones....and since they all love their dolls yet, we have some larger gifts this year for the 18 inch dolls they love to play with...last year was my sewing extravaganza for them......this year, not so much.....actually I am painting a blue wall up our stairs to loft and down to basement from blue to yellow.....
  I love the nail picture I found on Pintrest...what a great source of ideas from everything from Quilting to Gardening to "nails".....
I even have looked over some old photos of the family....my husbands' father died when he was 2 years old....his Dad had rheumatic fever as a kid but did not rest and stop his chores on the farm......later, after my hub was born his father found his heart and body were weakening...and he died suddenly just after he had sent for my hub to return home to be with him.....he must have known.....anyways.....they had a Christmas with a toddler and a 9yr old daughter that year before he passed 2 months later.....
Life is a journey.....God so loved the world that He gave Us His only Begotten Son that those that believe on Him would not perish but have everlasting life....I have loved that verse since I was a child
.....that baby in the manger we see this time of year.....his little heart to grow into an adults' heart....Gods' beating heart for us.......

A Christmas in Plymouth Michigan

Have a safe December!.....sit down and count your blessings as you enjoy your friends and family this season, is my wish....Quilted, of course!   Karen

Half Square Triangles Conquered

 Hello!!!
Goldilocks and the Three Bears are done and ready to ship to the UK....along with two Christmas Mug Rugs with Children in Black Silouhettes....love them!! Want to do more!!  Goldilocks was fun to do and her face is just so sweet too!!  I can't attach pictures as my I Phone Camera lens got scratched and my photos show the affect of that....that explains my poor photos in the recent past that I have posted.....I apologize!!....so when I get the money to purchase new insurance (argh!)....you will have to wait on that!!.....I did find this great video though on something I think You NEED for your accurate quilting pieces...I can not wait to send for it myself!.....
Our son did well with his hemodialysis on Tuesday....he goes again for 5 hours today (that includes travel time and waiting his turn)..he is tired afterwards and takes a good nap then he is ready to go for a day or so until the next treatment....his abdomen finally feels better; we all figured out he had a bug that day...as I came home and have been sick for a couple of days now....he was just so afraid somehow he still had affects of peritonitis.....now his concern is keeping his tunnelled catheter on his right chest sterile and covered!!....it goes to his heart....it is the fastest way to start hemodialysis but it has its precautions for sure!!

Have a blest Quilting Day!! I am cleaning and then starting "something" on my longarm......I will give you a peak.....well, when I get my Iphone fixed!  It is all in a "day" as my Mom use to say!!
Blessings!!  Karen

Our Sons' Journey Continues

Mindy and Kev

Our Son

Reality

Sweet Elenor! She has some great ideas on making a wedding ring quilt!  I thought I would check in with you.
  I was with my sons' family all last week and then went back to see him on Sunday.  He is in hemodialysis now on Tues, Thurs and Saturdays...he gets there, so far on time, and then has to wait over an hour to get started.  He has a mid-day appointment.  Please keep him and his little family; Mindy (wife) and Coralynn and Amelia (little girls) in your thoughts and prayers.  He has live donors on a list; he is fortunate; he has a waiting list of friends and family that match and want to be a donor.  His donor from our town here in Plymouth is waiting to start the 3rd part of her journey of her matching kidney, so, since he has had to go on hemodialysis due to getting peritonitis with the Peritoneal Dialysis, he really is praying the transplant is soon.  He has to be infection free for 2 weeks before any transplant can happen; so they think it will be in December.  That also would be an answer to prayer as the healthcare is changing for everyone and especially them January 1st.  Kevs' faith continues to grow...  God is showing that HE is in control and that HE holds Kevin in His hands....He is soverign.  I am back home and working on the doll quilt to send to UK for November; then it is my plan to get my shop open and offer some longarming and the fabric that I have for those that would like to purchase it! and take Quilt lessons.  But, for now, Kev and his family is # 1 in our lives.  His sister and little Caroline are going to see them this weekend and I am sure Leah will keep him company during his 3.5 hour dialysis on Saturday...happens to be my Hubs birthday and Kevs' Dad....he is 44....opps....lets try 64....heehee.....we will be married 44.....haha......
I pray you are all well and safe....God Bless and Quilted Blessing!!! Karen

Precious!!

Sunday!!!

Dreamland!

Sunday our Son gets to go home!! Infection is gone....starts his dialysis classes with wife on Monday through Thurs and then they do it for the nurse in their home on Friday!!....I am going down for the girls for the week too.....oh, shucks!!....heehee.....I see rainbows being made for one thing and crocheted things for dollies.....  We thank our Lord for his healing...and we continue to pray as the transplant time approaches that no infection would occur before hand.  Quilted Blessings!!  Karen
