Well, my lovely mother-in-law flew home today. She has been here since Thursday, and I wish she could stay longer! Love that woman!
Since she was here on vacation, I got to take a vacation. Back to work tomorrow. Sigh.

Annette's Purple Quilt
Today I am posting a pic of the quilt commission from our friend Anthony to his wife Annette for their anniversary. As you can tell, she is a purple person!
This is one of the Nickel quilts from Pat Speth. I can't remember the name right now.....
Anyway, I really like this quilt. I had it quilted with a large meander.
Annette cried when she got it! Happy tears!
Take care!

Pics!
Oh rah! Hubby found where he filed my quilty photos! Today I am showing the quilt that I helped my dear quilt student (I use her as a substitute daughter, as mine lives too far away!) make for her inlaws anniversary.
This is her first quilt, and I am bursting with pride!
Isn't it a lovely String X quilt? The fabric is mostly cowboy themed, as that is what her inlaws love. The backing is a denim-printed cotton. She is making this quilt in green and pink for her daughter's room, then we move on to a more difficult string quilt (pics will be posted!).
Take care, all! I should really be putting piles of fabric and yarn away. My lovely MIL is coming in tomorrow for a few days! We haven't seen her for more than a year!

The months have flown!!
I can't believe I haven't blogged since November! Between being sicker than I have been in 20 years, taking care of my disabled sister, and taking care of my sick hubby, I haven't had time to breath!
I have been spending at least 2 days a week taking care of sis (she has MS and has lost most of her sight and the use of her legs since February), and at least 2 days a week helping hubby with our business. Whew!
I have been feeling very put out that I haven't had any me time. What a sissy! Most women I know have to work 40 hours a week, plus housework and taking care of kids and husbands. I have been spoiled, and need to get real. My life is changing, and I have to adapt.
I want to have me time, but it will not be as much as I had before. Such is life.
I will post pics when hubby tells me where he filed them.
Take care!
