Happy Girl Gang Wednesday

 And I Hope you enjoyed the last 2 days

of weather because it seems to have 

drastically changed.  I must say I definitely

prefer the 52 degree days instead of the 

16 degree days.  Nina was here on the last

52 degree day and said she wasn't looking

forward to the migraine that was coming

with the change in the barometric 

pressure.  I don't blame her.  I'm really glad 

that migraines aren't on my list of ailments 

On to a more pleasant subject.

We're having a Rufus BOGO this week.  

Those of you who have been with me for

awhile know that before Mufin I had an awesome

cat named Rufus.  He was white and grey and had

a very attractive personality as well as being 

an ever so cute kitty.

Our special this week is the kit for

Rufus in the Garden


and the pattern for

Rufus in the Pumpkin Patch.


Pep would have wanted the Rufus in the Pumpkin Patch
because both of his kittys are black.

I am very slowly adjusting to the fact that I won't get to
see him again until I die and go to heaven but at least I
know I will then.

Right now I'm working on my last "for now" winter quilt -
Snowy Night.  I'll try to remember to show it to you next week.

Now, have the best week with the people and the 
quilts that you love, and I'll see you next week.

Happy Girl Gang Wednesday

For those of you that have sent 

cards and well wishes, Thank you so much.

I really, really miss him - but I guess that's 

to be expected after 55 years of marriage.

My day will be going along and then something

little will trigger the fact that I won't see him

again until I go to heaven too.

I told his cat Dueces that "Daddy went to 

heaven without us" but we'll join him there

later.  And we will but not for awhile because I

promised our granddaughter Zoie it would be 

quite sometime before I left.  And I've got to at

least finish Adley's quilt and Snowy night.  I worked

on the scallops in the border of Snowy Night while

I was at the hospital even though Adley's Quilt is a

baby quilt and he is already born but the blocks were to big

to fit on my lap.  That tree block is 12' X 24".


And I'm sure Adley will enjoy the quilt as a toddler.
I'm working on the train block now.

Ok, back to the present time.

The special this week is "To Market, to Market" kit.

Happy Girl Gang Wednesday

On Thursday this week.

I'm going straight to the item on sale

because I want to look at something cheerful

and I love this quilt.


This is the "Feathered Star" BOM quilt that I gave to
Mark Dunn of Moda.  He said he wanted to buy one of my
quilts to remember me by.  Well, I don't sell my quilts,
they're mine, but I do give them to people I care about
so I gave him this one.  It's on display in a showroom at
Moda in Dallas if you ever get there.  Or now, with
this pattern you can make your own.
You can go to the store to buy the pattern by

This is a picture of Pep and I taken last year.
Sadly he is no longer with us.  He fell in our living 
room and in the process one of his lungs collapsed.   
We have Life Flight Eagle and got him quickly to
Research Hospital in Kansas City but after 2 weeks in 
Intensive Care, as I told his cat Dueces, he went to
heaven without us - but we will join him there later.

  Our daughter Kelly is living with me.  The boys 
want me to move to Liberty to be closer to them 
but Pep and I bought this land and built our house 
and loosing my home would be like
loosing him all over again.  So Right now I'm just 
taking one day at a time.   I have Tammy and Jeff 
who takes care of the land - I have my dogs and cats and 
chickens.  And of Course my quilts.

Now, have the best week with the people and the 
quilts that you love, and I'll see you next week.
