A guild in Everett called All in Stitches had an amazing show last week and I was lucky to attend. I haven't seen so much talented quilting in my life. Enjoy!

Everett Quilt Show
Shelley's New Hexagon
It's always interesting to receive a quilt to complete which I am working on myself. Shelley dropped off a New Hexagon Millefiori last month and now I've been working on it.

Jim and Chuckles
Jim has come to play at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Chuckles is concerned. She hasn't spent any time around small children.

Yard Work
I can't tell you how hard yard work is when you are overweight and out of shape. Paul and I worked all day trying to buck this dead snag that fell into the lawnmower path.

Easter 2017
We stopped by Katie's house in Snohomish to see Jim on his first Easter Egg Hunt. It's so fun to watch children experience finding candy for the first time. There's just giving it away?

Walk with Grandpa
Growing up in the PNW means puddles. And to a little boy, this means jumping and throwing rocks. Our driveway is perfect for both.

Sampler Quilt
This customer quilt is so much work. Each block needs to be treated differently. My brain begins to hurt after awhile.

My Childhood
When I was a little girl, my mom gave me a new set of sheets. The artist was Joan Walsh Anglund who was a children's book author who lived from 1927-2021.

The Wild uncontained
I have two plants that must be confined to their beds. They are a little too exuberant. One is a golden raspberry and one is an own-root rose. The raspberry plant's roots and crown are perennial, while the canes (stems) are biennial. A raspberry plant survives and produces fruit for many years. However, individual canes live only two growing seasons and then die.
