    Unfortunately, this is true for many families, including my own!

    Funerals or wedding for our family too - sad to say. I try, but no one seems to see the importance of phone calls or seeing others unless there is a funeral. On my husband's side we do get together more often and exchange gifts at Christmas. In the process of making a couple lap quilts for mother-in-law and aunt-in-law. Plans for some embroidery for the rest of the family.

    I am stuck... I am still trying to find the last yard of fabric needed for a Nine piece scrappy Christmas quilt. Started collecting fabric last fall...I am just now finishing a Halloween quilt for DGD that was started last fall too. It has been the quilt from hades!! And my house is a disaster...But I do think I will head to Joann’s and pick up a couple items.
    Have a great rest of the week end everybody!!

    I designed a Christmas Tree Ornament and need to make about 100 of them for the shop and give my friend the pattern to submit to a magazine. I have also been working on NO-SEW McKenna Ryan wall art. Using extra fusible and artist's canvas. At the moment trying out a sealant. If it works I'm going to have some fun. Fist though I have a huge appliqued quilt. It must be done and ready for pictures by Sept. 15th.
