I live in Alaska and enjoy making baby quilts for the local Crisis Pregnancy Center. As people have provided me with many scraps, I use them to make scrappy quilts. Scrappy doesn't mean crappy. I make some very pretty ones, and they are appreciated very much. God has given me the talent and interest and the time now that I'm retired.

A couple of years I made 100 each year. In 2010 I had a fall in Feb which resulted in brain surgery to remove blood seeping into my brain. Was paralyzed on right side for a while. 3 months in rehab, and thanks to the good Lord, I am back to normal and making quilts again. Also broke my arm in November 2010, but I am a tough old bird, I'm back at it again!

What city are you in? or village, ha ha

Grace Mitchell 02-10-2011 12:45 AM

Thanks Margaret. We're having freezing rain now but expect temp to drop near zero by weekend. But my sewing room is warm!

Grace Mitchell 02-10-2011 12:47 AM

Such a cute baby. My hometown is Binghamton, though I haven't lived there for many moons.

Grace Mitchell 02-10-2011 12:51 AM

Thank you. We were stationed in Germany way back in 1963-66. Beautiful place. We lived in Sippersfeld, husband was stationed at Sembach. Had friends at Ramstein, & traveled a lot during the summers.

I was born in Binghamton, and have a sister in a nursing home in Elmira. This a first try - I tried to send a quilt photo. Did it come though OK?
