My Version

This is my version of Marcie's new Christmas table topper. Marcie, at Patchalot More has offered a free table topper pattern for the last three years and I have made each one of them. I like her patterns, they are nice and her instructions are very concise.

I did change the color theme, I decided to go with more of a winter theme verses the Christmas theme.

I know I have not been very good at keeping up with my posts. I have not been very productive for one thing. I have been spending much of my time on facebook, if any of you who read my blog are interested e-mail me and I will add you as a friend to my facebook.

I have finished a few quilts and am in the process of putting the binding on, when they are completed I will post pictures.

I best get back to work now. Take care and may God direct us on how to save our country.

May God show us how to save America

I really wanted to go to DC for the march but life circumstances prevented me from doing that this time. I understand they had 2 million people marching. Can you believe that. If you want to read about it you can find the real story at this link.

Please don't forget

No this is not a day of service to our President. This is a day to remember those who lost their lives in this senseless act of terrorism.

May God guide us in saving this great country.

Meet Dimka

Dimka is new to our household. I have been wanting a smokey gray kitten to name Dimka ever since I heard the word and now he resides with hubby and me. I brought him home from work today. Poor little fella had to ride home in the saddlebags of my Harley.

A co-worker has a friend who had kittens to give away so I said if they had a gray one and a male I would take him.

I had to ride my Harley to work today because hubby has to do a valve job on my pick-up and it is torn apart right now. Dimka came to work right when I was getting off and had to ride home in one side of my saddlebags. He did wonderfully. Not a shaking bone in the sweet little guy at all.

I think he is going to fit in just fine.

May God show us how to save America.

College Football Season

College football starts tomorrow night, my SIL's favorite team plays at Boise State. I finished the quilt tonight. My daughter and SIL purchased the fabric, they wanted a two sided quilt with their favorite teams.

This is what I came up with. I don't know how it happened but the USC side is off center. I made the top a bit larger as I put it as the backing for quilting. I folded in half and marked center but when quilted it came out off center. Oh well, it is what it is.

I could say I did it that way on purpose for conversation or maybe no one would have noticed if I would have kept my mount shut. Either way done is done and it will be loved and used.

I hope everyone else is as excited as me about the new season.

FIGHT ON!!!!!!

May God show us how to save America.
