Hello Sisters,This is a picture from my iPhone I took of the hand appliqued quilt panel I did for Bobbie's Christmas quilt. It took a month to cut all those little pieces and turn them and do the embroidery and add the embellishments. Since "they", meaning Bobbie and Troy, sent me the rest of the instructions and fabric I guess they mean for me to do ALL of them. I worked diligently on completing this one, but I am not in such a big hurry to do the next 11. Troy probably sent it to me so he didn't have to help Bobbie do it.
It certainly is good to see some posts from you Diane and Searcher. LOL. I had gotten an email alert that Searcher had added a comment and I thought "who the hell has busted into our private blog?" I like the name. I may have to refer to you as the Searcher for awhile. Know what I mean.....?
The weather is hot, muggy, gloomy with occasional rain. Aren't you happy for that weather update? Well, the weather has contributed to my laziness today. About the only thing I have done is cook breakfast, clean up the kitchen and plop myself on the couch and watch golf with Earl. I suppose I could still accomplish things if I wanted, but...... I am not even in the mood to be doing this. Am I depressed? Lacking sleep? Or just plain old? Well, I didn't sleep well last night and I might be depressed about being old. Why have I been dwelling on this so much lately - the old part? Help me out sisters. Psychoanalyze my condition, but be gentle about it. I don't want to turn into a bitter, fat old lady that says mean things to people, kicks dogs, has regrets and lets herself go.
The pictures of the shower were great, even though I only knew a few of those people. I wish I could have been there so I could have met them and got the story on all of them. You know me. I think I should have been an investigative reporter. Maybe in my next life.
I will be coming to Ohio in about three and a half weeks for my 50TH CLASS reunion. I told you I was old. Anyway, I am planning on coming Wednesday, June 12th and staying until Monday or Tuesday - 17th or 18th. Barb Rowe will pick me up at Diane's on Friday for the reunion and I will spend the night with Barb and Tim and then Saturday our class will go to Mass in the afternoon and the festival in the evening. Maybe all of you could come to St. Mary's Festival on Saturday evening. Barb said so far over half of our graduates are coming. It should be fun. I hope they all look as old as me. LOL
Diane, you have the best attitude about your illness and things that are going on inside your body. No fuss, no muss seems to be your attitude. I am so proud of you as I am of Liz and Susie.
Glad to hear your leg is getting better Lizzie. Is it all scabby? Post another picture so we can see the progress of your healing.
This is it for me right now. I have to iron my kitchen servant costume as I am volunteering tomorrow. Do you think they ironed their clothes?
Love you sisters
Lori, that block is amazing. You are the queen of hand applique, that is all there is to it. The detail would have done me in.
ReplyDeleteI will not be trying to psychoanalyze your issues. Go with the flow, Lo. That's my advice.
How's your story coming along?
