I've joined this swap ..... I've always wanted a signature quilt......Now to start making the 70 or so.....It will be neat to see allt he names. Since am into genealogy bad....this will be neat.....May be a distant cousin or two.....I love civil war material so much......

I remember my great granny haveing a civil war quilt. She would always show it to me and say one day this will be yours......but there was a fire in 73 and it was destroyed. But I remember the colors of mustard and reds and browns. but I can't rember the pattern......

Another thought.....

Suzanne at Farmers wife....(don't know how to add links) brought the big Chill back.......AT 60 and remembering all the things you have done.....and haven't done.....depressing.....but some fond memories. Only wishing I'd been smarter about my life. But I have my great kids and a hubby too......so I guess it was meant to be......

I am working on a quilt for my nephew and his new bride to be. It seems I can't get going on it. I've made 30 squares and only 60 more to go.....One of the reasons is We have had such beautiful weather for July. I can sit out side and read and watch the birds. Who wants to sew in the basement......hahah...

This is where I sit and read and watch the birds. That is my buddy Nesbitt, Westie, who loves to be outside and play soccer.....I sometimes put up the canopy on the swing......These last few days have been heaven on earth here in Ole Jeff City, MO......

I am working 10 hours days this summer so I can have Monday's off. I love it...but 5:30 am sure comes early.....

Glass Castle........have any of you read this book? What a great book. It is about a very disfunctional family and how they lived and the kids learned more about life than any school could teach them. Having two disfuntional parents had to be so hard on the kids. It is a great read , so try and get it to read. Can't remember the authors name right now. But there are vedio out on the inter net with her talking about her book and about her mother. If I knew how to add links I'd sure add hers.

I've got three books going now. Janet Evonevich, The garden angel by Mindy Friddle, and the Glass Castle......I just can't get enought to read.....then of course whatch my Ghost hunter and Vampire "True Blood".

I could go on and on.....but best I stop.......
