Our Vintage Book

 this month is Up on the Rooftop 

and this is one of the

quilts in it "Rudolph and Company".

You can just repeat using the same

footprint and handprint 

or

if you have lots of kids or 

grandkids you can use all of their

footprints and handprints.  Then they 

can sign their block.  

And be sure to have them date it.

Meantime  lets go see 

what the other ladies did with Betsy's block

Our Vintage book this month is

Up on the Rooftop

 and this is the

Pinetree Village quilt 

that's on the back cover.

It's 80" x 85" and goes on

the boy's bed every Christmas

along with 2 pillow shams.

It's quick, easy to make and

always puts me in the mood

for Christmas.

But for now, lets go see 

what the other ladies did with Sherri's block

Starburst

by Joanna of FigTree

Now, I think I'd better explain what's

going on with me and why my posts

may be a little erratic for a short while.

It seems that my body has gotten carried

away with making the fluid that surrounds

the brain and spinal cord.  Too much fluid 

causes pressure on the brain and can interfere

with walking and thinking, among other things.

 

It's called "water on the brain" 

or hydrocephalus.

My thinking is still pretty much OK  

(only slight memory problems so far)

but walking is exhausting.  

(I wake up, go to the kitchen to

start the coffee and need a nap.)

Luckily it's curable and I found  a 

very good neurologist and neurosurgeon.

What they have to do is make a slit at the base

of my brain and insert a shunt to drain off the

fluid.  Then I'll be good as new.

And my doctor had 7 years of postgraduate 

training at Mayo Clinic to learn now to do it.

To say nothing to the fact that the medical

school he went to is one of the top 20 in the nation.

Max's wife who is a charge nurse at Centerpoint 

(a hospital in Kansas City) and my grandson Jake 

who is in Dental School both checked him out 

to make sure I was in good hands.

On a much lighter note, these are my  Silver Laced

Orpington chickens.   I call them my bowling ball chickens 

because I think they look like bowling balls.

2 things.....1) I can't remember what the specials for

this week are and Tammie has gone home so you'll

have to check back tomorrow 

and 2)  - Lets go see what the other ladies did with Fig Tree's block

Fractured Rainbow 

by Stacy-lest-Hsu

 

You can go to her blog to

download the pattern by

clicking here

 and our vintage

book for September is still

Quilts, Rugs & Stuff.

The rug I'm featuring this week

is may Angel Hearth Rug

that went back on my hearth

this week after taking the

summer off.

I've had it for years and it's still 

one of my favorites.

Halloween is approaching quickly

so we have 2 of my favorite patterns

on sale - 

Trick or Treat and

The Witch is In.

The kids in costume are my grandchildren

Zoie is both the angel and the witch -

(depending on her mood :)

Jake is the pirate, Quinn was and still is the "little devil"

Cullen was a baby at the time so he's the astronaut.

Brian Jr. wanted to be somebody scary so 

he's the "grim reaper".  It's a really fun quilt to make

and you can assign costumes or let them

pick - whichever fits your family best.

And then there's Mama.  

I always said that this wasn't a Halloween Quilt -

It's a Statement Quilt :) :) :)

I really miss Market this year - this quilt

always hung by my chair.

I hope everyone is safe and staying well.

Now........

lets go see what the other ladies 

have done with Stacy's block.
