A deep breath!


Good morning, everyone!  I am off work today...a day of peace and on line church and laundry.  And grocery shopping!  EXCEPT!  My dryer is in a zillion pieces all over everywhere.  It was making a screeching noise, and bumps and funny sounds.  So, dear hubby took it apart, and there it is.  We have ordered parts, but they are not here...so I guess I can line dry my clothes, which is just fine.


Above is maybe my signature quilt. I have made a few of these, in this pattern, all of plaids.  This is my favorite pattern for strings in all the world!  I just love it, and it was my header quilt for many years.  I just had this one machine quilted, for it has been sitting too long, waiting to be hand quilted.  Funny thing is, is was quilted by a lady that I knew when she was 2  years old, and I was born.  We are not exactly related, but almost...my mom and her mom raised us together. My sister married her dad's brother.  She and I both raised sheep together and sewed in 4-H.  I have reconnected with her, and she is retired, and now is machine quilting for others!  





So I delighted to have this quilt, quilted by her!  She is just learned how to do this, and this was a perfect practice piece for her, and she did a great job.




Bonnie Hunter has a very cool quilt pattern out, and you can get it here.  I am making good progress on my version!

Annie sent me a recipe for pumpkin spice snickerdoodle cookies.  Oh my, are they ever good!  If you would like to try the recipe, it is below.  Dear hubby loves them! 

 The original recipe is from Karin, at the Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road (dirtroadscrapper.blogspot.com)  Annie varied it just a tiny bit, but let me tell you...these ladies know how to bake!!!  YUM!

Please take a moment and go see Karin's blog...she is an amazing lady, a lovely quilter, and a hard working ranch wife.  It is fun to see what she is up to!

Oh my! Such a pretty scrap/strip quilt!!! I love your setting, too! Fun to reconnect with childhood friend and both be quilting!

How nice that your friend was able to quilt your latest finish for you. Much nicer to have it done than hanging over your head waiting for you to hand quilt it. Those cookies look tempting. I love snickerdoodles and pumpkin spice would certainly spice them up.

I've admired your "signature" quilt for a long time and the new version is great. The cookies sound tasty.

Your signature quilt as your header is what drew me to this site. It's been on my list for too many years, so it better go on my 2022 list. There is something about the plaids!

That is so cool about your quilter! I love that quilt too!
I love pumpkin and snickerdoodles, I may have to try that recipe. (I must try to limit my intake though!! LOL)

I hope you are able to get your dryer fixed quickly! We had many dryer issues earlier this year, and it wasn't the first time. We finally broke down and bought a new laundry pair--after the dryer broke down. :)
Your signature quilt has always made me smile. I even have the book with the pattern and have thought about making one myself, but so far I just admire yours. That is fun to have reconnected with an old friend who can now quilt for you.
I do follow Karin and those cookies really sound yummy. I wonder how they would translate to gluten free? I am really trying to shed some pounds, so maybe now isn't a good time to find out.But I will save the recipe.

Hello everyone, my name is Walter George I am so overwhelmed with joy all thanks to Dr. Wale spell. My Wife  left me for another man a few years back and I was very devastated because I never did anything wrong to her, I was left with my two kids and a job that pays little. I was almost giving up until I saw a testimony online about Dr. Wale and I decided to contact him. I explained my problem to him and he assured me I'll see a positive result after 24 hours, surprisingly my Wife came back the day after the spell begging me to forgive her and promised to never leave. My Wife has been back for 6 months now and we've never had any issues, am glad I didn't doubt Dr. Wale cause he sure can solve any problems with fast relief you can also contact him for help now WhatsApp/Text him: +1(978) 406-9575.
