Today Is a Good Day to have a Good Day!!

Born on the 4th of July?.....our Country was....yep....now to continue to protect it......and be thankful every day for the freedoms that we all hold close to our hearts......my husband's father was born on the 4th of July....but he never knew him.....he died when Gary was 2 years old.....but the imprint of his Daddy was on his being, even by age 2....we didn't know him but so much of who Gary has become find roots in that Father.....as our Nation's Roots are forever inbedded by the Father's of our Nation....we are forever grateful.
We received a few cute pics from the family per Iphone this weekend...so we will share these Jewels with you and some older ones.....and a place me miss but are happy to be in the warm South East in the Wintertime.....we are blessed.....and we dwell in Thankful hearts.
God bless you this week as you quilt.....we are finishing our kitchen  (Hoooooorath!!).....and  I will be working on  my Farmer's Wife Quilt....up to 73 out of 111 to complete.....one "acre" at a time.....all in pastels in honor of my Mom's love of the "light colors", she called them.
Enjoy the Pictures.....will also share my Cherry Street Quilt (cheeries) that I have on my longarm soon too....using Angela Walter's swirls and pebbles.....can't get enough of them lately.

Yep, Tears come in life......Job had tons of them.....he had so much pain,
then in the end he had so much joy.....

My baby sister has always wanted a Job's Tear Quilt.....now she has it to sleep under.

I pieced it during the Long Winter in Indiana....using up all my scraps from a Fig Tree Quilt and Camille's fabrics....it was a cold winter outside,  but plenty of warm desire built into
my Quilt Tops that winter inside.....and one was Job's.  I enjoyed making it from start to finish.

So, Enjoy my Photos.....I forgot and did not get it on my white fencing that
Hub is building to accent our farm outside.....wha....so see.....tears...

But we were joyful to bless her with it.....Enjoy it Lori!!!

Our only Grandson Andrew Graduated from High School.....one Happy Camper!

So, I made him a Soccer Quilt and a Collage Quilt.....he had so many photos to use
That it was very hard to decide.....so this Granny made two quilts~!!....
So, that was the month of May....here are a few family pictures....it was just a fun time!

.....we stayed an extra day after graduation so the kids we took
to Maryland could go to the beach for a day before we had to get everyone back to SC.

So, our son took us the Antietam for the day.  He is a huge history buff; actually he will graduate in the Spring with his BS in History....and so we had a great day with him....his wife had to work...as she is also finishing her Master's in Mental Health in the Spring also.
So, enjoy the photos of our Grandson's Graduation....he will staying in MD for now and attending a Community College as he ponders his future direction.

The SCOOP!!.....

The Farmer's Wife Quilt Blog

This will happen in JUNE 2015; you can pre order it now on Amazon and also start or finish
collecting your 30's fabrics for the quilt now....there are 99 blocks and 99 letters to go with them..I
am seriously praying SOMEONE then gets her permission to make us paper piecing patterns for them
As this has helped me tremendously on my Farmer's Wife I am presently working; by joining the FW group on yahoo.  The paper piecing available there is awesome....I am now on the 54th block of the 111 needed to finish that quilt.  I am doing it in soft pastels in honor of my Quilting Mom Abby....she also made reproduction porcelain dolls for years.....miss her!!!
Take a breath Karen!

So! that is the scoop from A Quilting Sheep.  My sweet friend Amy!!.......enjoy her eye candy!!.....

BLESSINGS!! Quilted, of course!
