I love your ideas...I have two old chenille bedspreads and have been wondering what to do with them as they are not in great shape.

I just love the coordinating cat fabric. What a really nice bedspread. I have seen stuffed animals out of the chenille but never found any vintage chenille. OK Mary here are the bookmarks. The purple one is the practice one and good thing as I didn't realize I had to use a double piece for the bottom. So then I made the other one and I cut too much off of the front piece and should have made the point piece bigger. They are cute to make. Next one is going to Ma. for my friend's birthday.

well I worked on my sons quilt today. finished it with all the borders and such.
Then i looked at the backing and not enough. went to JA's today, and couldn't find anymore of what I needed.

So I picked one other color, black print to stick in the middle to stretch it.

Sending it off to Charisma tomorrow.
Oh I forgot, I mailed out my pc today, should be there for Friday, so wait till then to look for it.

Louise I remember the beautiful chenille bedspreads. When I was a teen my mother bought me one that had a white back ground with lavender designs on top. She had one, and whenever we would visit Tn. in those days, they were for sale at all the souvenir shops. Mom always bought one or more. All of your fabric you bought is very nice.

As I am writing we are under a severe thunderstorm warning. It turned black outside, and the rain is pouring.

Argentium I am so glad you are feeling better.

Susan, it's pitch black already, maybe a rainstorm for us. I hope so, haven't watered in days, and we need it. very stinkin' hot today and high humidity too.


Anyone else mail today?

I'm going to be starting a new temporary job tomorrow. The other one I had only lasted 4 days. I hope this one lasts longer. This will really cut into my quilting time but I have to do it. Anyway, I won't be online as much but will check in before going to work and after. I hope everyone has a good evening.

Can't wait to see whats coming in in the
picture department.

Karen good luck with the new job. Pat your bookmarks look great. Now that you made a couple you can fussy cut some and really make nice ones that are themed to what a person wants.Well about a year ago my grandson Dylan said he was dropping out of high school. He had his senior year left to do. I told him if he stayed and finished I would try to get my g.e.d..Well I'm posting his senior class picture. I'm so proud of him.He did stay and graduated last may. Also tonight was my first pretesting class to get my G.E.D.. Took tests for 2 1/2 hrs. and still have a lot left to do on Thursday.It's been almost 50 yrs since I dropped out of high school my senior year. 2 phrases come to mind 1- You can't teach a old dog new tricks and 2 Your never to old to learn.......Guess i'll find out which is the truest. Good night everyone. Hugs Mary
