The Quilt Ladies And Beth Ann Doing Together

Happy, Happy !
We were introduced to each other and then on a blind date. The first Rocky movie and a pizza. It seems we have been together ever since. Two boys, two daughter-in-laws and those four wonderful Grands.
We are pretty much together 24/7 and it’s alright with me, before and during Covid-19. All those years of his career always being first, it’s pretty special to be first now. There is no one else I would EVER laugh with SO MUCH ! We can do ANYTHING with laughter !
How to Survive Retirement: Make a Plan for YOUR next 20 to 30 Years of Retirement
Dress Me Simple
Have you heard about how to dress in a daily uniform? It’s a way to make clothing simple. I did it for years working at a bank, black suits, color in tops and shoes. But always black slack, skirt with black jacket (dating myself with a work jacket and panty hose) I hated them.
I love a top, bottom and add a sweater or jacket as needed. Here is Florida, it’s shorts most the time, but evenings are still a slack for me. Sweaters are my go to thing, I wear them daily, as a rode or even as a pool cover up. Doing the uniform, I have the basic’s already in my closet, it’s fun adding color.

Not all Quilts are for Sale
Most of my older quilts are from Estate Sales and Auctions from our time in the Midwest. I use all my quilts, old and new and most still go in the washing and dryer, as we live in an association and I can’t have a drying line….It would come down after using…wouldn’t use on Tuesday (mowing day)….can’t change it….OLD people.
This is one of my quilts which I purchased around 1985ish? in Burlington, IA. I was new to quilting and I headed to an auction with two little boys, can you see that being a mistake! On the whole they did pretty good, but the waiting. This is one of three quilts I purchased that day. You couldn’t see the quilt, it’s was folded, folded and folded, then hand stitched around the outside edge, but I could see the quilting. $24 for three quilts. I took me days to get the stitching out. Someone didn’t want them to see the light of day. The quilts are not perfect, BUT very close. I use and love them. And they are NOT FOR SALE. But, I do have quilt patterns, not this one, it’s nine-patch with solid white off blocks The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop

I purchased a 9.00 wooden TV tray
The tray was VERY hard and Husband helped me stable it all around the outside edge. I have changed the towel a few times and even tried a silver press cloth, all I know, I press more and blocks look better !
