Have Move...Will Quilt!

We have now moved from Indiana to Virginia. My husband is the best man ever! We moved in over 100 degree heat there and then in Virginia. He just kept at it, never complaining. He set up my longarm over the first weekend we were moving in. We only have room for her "suziebell" in our living room in the sweet retro type 50's home we are renting for now. My goal this week is to get one of the tops I made last fall in the RV while in Vermont LOADED and quilted. I will show you the evidence that it really is set up! Quilted Blessings!! Kari

Cowboy Heavenly Babe

What a pure bundle of JOY!! Our Cowboy quilt made it to the doorstep of some sweet friends of our sons' in Russia...we thought he might need a little Cowboy Dreams in the St Petersburg landscape. Our friend is saying that getting a quilt in Russia is just a real special treat and does not happen that often, so that makes this little babes journey even more unique. He already has a Russian Mama that is beautiful inside and out and he has a American Papa that is remarkable in so many ways, and now a great father too. So, we jumped up and down today when we saw the babe enjoying our creation. It could not have come on a better day, as we are still looking for nursing positions here in Indiana....a hard nut to crack this time! God is so very good though....our Joy..... God bless little Cowboy Babe! Quilted Love, for sure, Kari

Gathering

There is NOTHING like getting your entire family together at Christmas! Time is soon coming when our grandkids will starting choosing colleges and jobs that will scatter them too. Can it be possible for that to be happening in a few years? Time is fleeting!! Treasure it!
The grandkids love to get together and just hang out....playing games, swimming this time together. Memories and bonds that God has certainly blessed our family with.


The pictures say more than I can with words...there are more!!...talking, laughing, even just looking over books that were given as gifts. Our family enjoys reading....just getting together when we all can...we are blessed....so blessed!! Quilted Love, Always!! Kari

Christmas Day

Where does the time go?...Can it be Christmas again...Yes!! it can!! the little ones answer to that yearly question adults express!
Our son and family in Indiana invited us for a "night over" Christmas Eve, so we could see the little gals open up gifts with them on Christmas morning.
On Christmas Eve our sons very creative wife planned a "polar express" ride to see the Christmas lights. The gals went to bed, and just after getting under the covers they rolled them into their coats and told them we were going to go on the Polar Express to see the Christmas lights...she had tickets that she punched with holes for the "train" ride and everything..even hot chocolate in their sippy cups....so cute!!....we enjoyed the ride too and the little ones Ooohed and AHHED at the lights glittering against the new fallen snow...It was wonderful!! We had to get home,though and get to bed so Santa could make his visit to them because they had been very good little gals!!
While opening up gifts in the morning, the youngest granddaughter clowned around by putting on all her bigger sisters new undies onto one leg!...she is a hoot!! as her Mama says! Her older sister hugged on her new dolly throughout the day that her Mama had also made her...and of course they fought over the BOY doll!! Such is life!!
OH YEA, My Happymerryversary brought a new friend into my home....a knitting machine....I admit I have had no time to acquaint myself much with it...with projects to finish and sewing for our family gathering in Bluffton on the 28th.... Blessed here!! Kari
