Memory Lane along with New Horizons
My sweet grandgals gave our hearts an extra hug yesterday when they were thrilled with the quilts I made them for graduation and then the special Rose Garden. The princess is sleeping in this morning, so I am still waiting for the picture of her Rose Garden on her bed. She was happy...grinned from ear to ear....yes, she is a petite gal!! beautiful inside and out.
Our Oldest grandchild graduated last night from the same High School her Mom did just 20 years ago! She has her sights set for Intell in the Air Force....she loves to study!.....we just enjoyed her great and happy yesterday..... all the families on both sides together back in the area of Ohio where we raised our sweet 3 kids ourselves! eons ago :)
The 2nd born grandchild, an Irish twin to the first; born 12 months apart in the same year....was thrilled with her quilt....she said. I LOVE IT!!.....and thank you for all your work.....she kept going over to it to look at the photos ..claiming it as her own!.....that was reward for our hearts!! She is going into Public Health study.... cool!! ....
Our Rose Garden Princess was very pleased with her Roses.....I was so glad! it turned out like she wanted it too....she is going to be 13 the last day of June....Our Millennium Grandbaby....
We enjoyed taking pictures all day long. Our ONLY grandson is adored by the 3 youngest grandgals...and they run into his arms when we get together....we don't get to do that, usually more than 2 times a year. I think this year it will be more....and that is good!!....very good!!......
Please enjoy the pictures....I totally was tinkled pink to make these quilts for our precious Grandgals....our treasures!!..... I am blessed!! Quilted Up into their hearts!!...... Karen

Free Motion Classes
Joy!! |
Here is a connection to the Obsessive Quilter , I just found Ann Peterson.....you can watch her show at The Quilt Show, she was featured on May 11th and also on Cratsy. I feel so much attraction to her web page name!!... but back to classes, once you buy the classes, they are permanent for you, I watch for sales on the classes; recently there was 50% off, sometimes there are even free classes.....and that is sweet!! With flexibility, I am learning more about modern style so I can offer it in my shop....there are no Quilting Police!! Have a great week and if you are in the storm ridden areas, know our prayers are with you. God Bless and Quilted Joy to you! Karen
Oh, you ask, the picture?.....my hub has a Digital Woodcarver and I think that would be a sweet wooden plaque to be done for our cabin wall, don't you?

Iron Me Surprised!!
You know God can come around that blind corner and give you the BIGGEST hug into your heart that takes you off your feet......I WON!!!.....and you can never know how much it lifted my right hand Ironing hand....my Hand that gets me everywhere!!.....It cooks, cleans, sews, writes, gives tender touches, hugs with its fingertips, plays the piano...and on and on.....I NEED my right hand and I NEEDED a new Iron.....my was at the leaking stage due to "dropping on the head" syndrome that I developed as a child....:)....is that called clumsy at times?.....So, I do thank Madame Sam for her generosity joining us to Reliable Corp. And that is MY IRON !!!.....the orange one she shared with me...... will find a new home soon in my Quilt Shop.....and sewing area!! as I said when I found out.....WOOOOHOOOO!!....
God also came around the blind corner for us 3 times years ago...when we were young....I am so blessed with three children...one girl and two boys.....all married and scattered....but my love for them is sent everyday to them on the wings of prayers....we are blessed with 8 grandgals and 1 grandson.....a day of counting blessings!!......
So, continue to have a marvelous Moms' Day if that is your case....however, you are connected to this day.....God Bless You....never take her for granted...she is a gift and all too soon God calls them home, as mine was September 23rd 2004....I miss her.....just who she was....and I miss our quilting talks...and all her contentment ...... Quilted Blessings!! Karen

Chevrons
Hi jumped into paper piecing this past year....and I just jumped into Chevrons with the technique!! Craftsy is a excellent source for patterns and classes. I can't say enough about them!
I am doing the Chevron for a Doll Quilt for my swap partner this month with Doll Monthly....she mentioned she loved modern and Kaffe Fassett fabric also. So I did some of his in the chevron and also around the outside edge. I still have to quilt it, I just finished up the top tonight. Enjoy finding your own pattern at Craftsy.
Tomorrow I garden and help my hub on his day off outside......I may try to take a few pictures of our Grandgals quilts by the Pink Almond Bush.....we will see!.......Quilted Blessings!!.....really!!! Karen
I must say too, that when you put the pieces together it was easier to remove the paper first...then you can stick your pins at 4 intersections of this pattern down through the middle...matching the white strips .... this will keep it from moving....I heard a quilter once that said to start the seam from the middle and sew out to the edge and then go the other way from the middle...it helps it keep inplace.....I still need to try that!......
Drop over to Pinterest too and enjoy more Chevrons.....

Are You Reliable?
Hi! I am just posting a suggestion that you might like to try the Reliable Iron....it sounds like an excellent Iron for Quilters and it also has a company that backs it up....so just think about it next time you need an Iron....I do need one....dropped mine on its' Head and now it leaks.....that is not acceptable Quilting Procedure (sorry I use to be a Nurse).... so just check it out.....and Sew We Quilt is giving away 3 Irons for Mothering Day!....so take charge!! and give it a try!! I hope my family and friends will always say I am Reliable too!! Happy Quilted Blessings!! Karen

Spring Apron! |
hanging temporary....blue blue blue?.... |
Did you wear aprons growing up?....we certainly did and in my first years of marriage I did wear an apron,....then I got into just putting a cloth kitchen towel inside my waistband when I canned as the kids grew up.....I like both...and I am so glad there has been a revival of Apron lovers! I have a couple from our kids Grandmothers and also Great Grandmother too.....
Quilted Blessings....Always!! Karen
