Blake got his tonsils out.

     I finishes my Grandson Blakes quilt finished in time for his surgery. Blake got his tonsils taken out on Friday.
He loved his memory match game quilt.  His younger brother Caiden wanted to know where his was.  I told him when he gets his tonsils out he would get one.  Just kidding.  I told him his was half way done. So you know what that means... I have to get his done.

     I spent today working on unfinished projects.

      Tomorrow my Daughter and Grandson Terry Scott are comming over after church. I'm teaching Terry Scott how to sew.  He's making a quilt for his bed.

How I became The Bag Lady..

It all started at work. One morning I noticed a lady (Judy) was sewing something. So I stopped by to see what she was doing. She was hand quilting a table runner for her dining room table. Every morning after that I stopped by to see what she was working on or had finished. She was always working on something, quilting, sewing, designing, or looking at magazines, you never knew what she be doing.

One day Judy asked me if I wanted to go The Ohio Valley Quilter Guild meeting with her. I went and from that moment I was hooked. I hadn't sewed in over four years. So I went home and got into the storage room and drug out my machine and dusted it off.

Judy invited me over one day after work and gave me probably 25 yards of stash to get me started and you couldn't even see there was anything missing from her stash.

Judy and I have been getting together several times a week to sew. Judy has the "Coolest Best Toys" at her house. My favorite is probably EQ7. I am glad that I can't afford it because I'd be sitting in front of my computer all day.

Judy has opened a Pandora's Box. She has become my quilting teacher. I have learned so much from her. She gives me homework to do. Making me look things up on the internet and loads of magazines to look at.

EVERY TIME I go to Judy's house I have a bag, either I am bringing one or she is filling one for me. I now have several of my bags at her house with various projects in different stages. And that is I became the Bag Lady Quilter.

Here is my current project. It is a memory quilt for my grandson, Blake. He is having his tonsils taken out tomorrow and this is for his recovery. The second picture is a close up of the quilt, the big black and white check is on the back and the small black and white check is the binding.

Have a blessed day,

Jennifer
