A First for everything

We had been trying to talk to our oldest grandson this morning and was not able to as he was sleeping when we phoned. So tonight our son phoned as he asked to so that he could talk to us and this is the first time he wanted to talk to us over the phone. It is his birthday today and I cannot believe that he is now 6 years old and will be going to school next year. Time flies by so quickly. We are so blessed to have such cute and handsome grandsons, all three of them. Well I took the calico quilt and a few small items to the shop and when I walked in at the door there is a scented candle burning and boy did I get hayfever from it. Walking in sneezing does not seem very nice, but the sneezing continued as the shop is full of all those lovely candles. Luckily there was no one in the shop except the owner and she knows me so she knew that I did not have a cold or the flue. Thank goodness for that. Hope that my quilt get sold quickly and then I can buy something from the shop that I would like to have but not necessarily need. It always seems to be my problem lately with I dont have that shade or that pattern fabric and am forever struggling not to get more as I have to get all these other ufo's finished and buying more fabric will not do. Or shall I get some fabric for the sashings that I have to have to put the angel quilt together to finish.??????????

Grandsons are the best

Went to visit my son and his family this weekend and also went around about way to them. We went through to Springbok to view the flowers and saw very little of the flowers that everyone is talking about and it is also very dry there. not much rain that way. The grandsons are so cute and our oldest one is going to school next year, where has the time gone??? The youngest is really cute to and always smiling and loves his food. He has the most gorgous blue eyes I have seen, inbetween his mothers light blue and fathers darker blue eyes. But his is much bigger. Very friendly chap. It is the oldest grandsons birthday tomorrow and I pray that the Lord will hold him in His love all of his life and give him many blessings. I love being a grandmother. It is such a special blessing to see them grow into handsome men oneday.

What a day!!!!

I always seem to have a problem to get into routine when we have gone visiting. Like today I am not sure that I got very much done. I have finished the calico quilt and it and a few other items are ready for the shop. Also my brother and his family received their gift of the 12 mini calender quilts and just love it. So I will have to get a grip on myself and start doing some work and also lots of sewing as I still have lots of ufo's around.

Thoughts

I have had a lazy day just finishing off some of my ufo's and getting small things done. Also finished the calico quilt and washed and ready to take to the shop. We are visiting our son and his family this weekend and cant wait to see our 2 handsome grandsons again. Have not seen them since March. Have had lovely weather and the tourists have taken over our town. Hate it as some note some of these peoples think we dont have any idea how to drive and seem to put the road rules aside and just do as they please. It seems that some just dont think when they are on holiday.

Thank you Lord for helping me finishing this huge tasks and having the support of all my quilting friends worldwide.!!!!!!!!!! Here are the last three. Finished!!!!!Now I have been wondering what next, but I am now busy with a single bed quilt in calico and have it all tacked together and have started the quilting. It is for a shop that has opened here in town.The shop will have its opening fare on the 20th August and hope to have it done by then. We also have many tourists in this town and it is like a beehive with people coming and going all the time. We have all these lovely wild flowers for all to see. Am taking a trip to the coast to see some nice flowers and the car does need some exercise too.

The next three

Finished

March

This is the first three and I will be posting 3 every day for you to see the end of these mini quilts.

Had a great day and also feel very blessed by the Lord with all the good things in life. Have been doing some sewing and hope to have my pillows for the lounge done soon

This is a pillow top that I made from a Australian magazine by Viv and I used some fabric of Agapanthus flowers to finish it off. I just love the flowers but am unable to get them to grow in my garden and around this suburb lots of people have them growing in their gardens, I am so jealous of that, but will have to leave it as hubby is also tired of trying to get them to flower.

Thankful for old friends that are visiting here at the moment.

I have been visiting with old friends and am enjoying the visit very much. We have been in the veld today to see some flowers. It is a lovely site but their faces were closed as the wind was blowing today. But I think that it is too early for the flowers to show us their beauty yet. there are some patches but not much. Being in the wide open spaces were great for myself.

Had a great day visiting with friends. Have now finished my 12 mini calender quilts too. Been wondering why I dont get to post in this site for 2 days now but am going to try again now. We are having a lovely winter warm week. Things are now getting back to normal with my life and also my quilting is moving on. slowly.
