Simple Log Cabin Quilt Pattern for YOU !

This is basic log cabin quilt pattern for you to make. It has a finished size of ten inches by ten inches.  As you can probably see I like to just cut strips and have fun at piecing log cabin blocks. This quilt finished to be scrappy and brought together with the border fabric. I piece my quilt block using a sewing machine, just a little Brothers model, nothing fancy.

HOW Many Quilt do you have to Finish?

I sent out a few quilts to have them long arm quilted. Finally, I had enough saved. I make the binding for each quilt top as I finished it.  This is how many quilts I have to hand quilt, send to long arm or tie  !  ? !

So….How Many Quilts to you have to BIND or FINISH ???

I really do read the Book !

I love books and it’s one of my MANY things and after learning to keep my mind moving forward, I started reading a chapter a day. I think with me it’s just getting me to stop and start. After starting I seem to read and read.   This is my last pool read book. I read a lot in the pool, it’s Florida ! This is The Hypnotist’s Love Story

The  Hypnotist’s Love Story  

by Liane Moriarty

The Hypnotist's love story

I hate to say, I didn’t know this author, but do now ! I pick it my the reviews and the cover, bought the book for the cover !  Ellen in a professional hypnotherapist and you  met her clients  and understand her career. But, her own love life is in need of a bit of work. She meets Patrick, and the story really begins, Patrick has a stalker. A different kind, if there such a thing. The story held me and hearing the voice of the stalker made the book very interesting.   Fun afternoon read,

Celebrate Today

Celebrate every day

After last week, I had the thought of what really makes me happy on a daily bases, besides my STUFF…. Yes, Husband, the kids, friends, all make me happy. But, those little jewels that just appear that make you smile or content in your own life.

Good Morning from the beach in Florida
Endless Ways to Go Today

Walking in the morning and Husband almost always says, “We are at our Florida church.” The holiness of our bodies moving, the blue sky, the sounds of life starting from the birds to the cars of neighbors and the moments we thank God for another day.

Next my bed, I have a love for a good bed. It’s the sheets, mattress pad, pillows and quilt. Yes, a bit about stuff.  Crawling into a clean bed, it’s a simple pleasure to me. The feel of a quilt between my fingers, the softness of it, the warmth and I don’t care how hot it is, I always start with one, it makes it home.

I have always remembered and celebrate days gone by, my calendar on my phone is full of what happened on what day in our lives. I have stepped this up a bit, as I see it, why shouldn’t every day be a wonderful day, and if not, why not a wonderful memory of that day. I hope I can focus my days in the wonder of time and if it has to be memories of the past, so be it.

Three Drawers and a Closet

Three drawers and a closet

Think about it, IF you only could live with all your worldly possessions in three drawers and a closet. What would be the things you would take with you?  Or the other question is. What would someone else take for you? Say a daughter or son?

moving in skilled nursing with only three drawers and a closet storyHere is just ONE space I love, a bit of my life, my stuff. This is one small corner of my life.  I love my stuff, nothing clean and modern about me.

Since, moving Mom into a skilled nursing home, it’s one of those things I think about all the time. The lack of the need to things, the idea of all my things not meaning anything to me anymore. For her, I did all the moving and cleaning out. I learned the things that were important to me for her to have, had NO meaning to her. That was hardest, the bed quilt, the lap quilt I made. No feelings just, “I don’t want that.” So, I re-made the bed with all their things, I moved quilts in/on and out, so a few photos, hanger clothes, socks, nightgowns/robes, personal hygiene things, some games, her crocheting and three books, went in the drawers and closet.  She asked for something the other day I said, “It’s in the drawer Mom.”  “Oh, the girls open them I’ve never looked in them.”  Did you see my mind blow, since August 2017, you have NEVER opened a drawer.

It’s three drawers and a closet and it’s working.  Now the conversation…..what do I want for myself?
