Re- Put defined

This has to be my midnight word....!!!!   Re-putting..... re-investing..... to put in again!!!


It's the way I love my grandchildren!   And I have three birth children!   and three chosen children! The baby boy has my heart.   His sister was the shining star.... she was and is still my best friend!  And there is the first-born.....   He is ir - replaceable!!!

I've been thinking of my grandmother Martha Bell Smith-Sipuel.   She loved us!

Long Arm Equals A Baby Lock 4me!

Although my sewing is back to its usual messiness.... with about 5 projects.... in process (I'm happy)

I've been a'pondering and a'lookin at our local BSewin dealer... at their Coronet long arm quilting machine.

remember.... the new quiltin projects I mentioned..... ahhhh ha ...   I discovered for a first time visit to Yukon, Oklahoma.   Even signed up for a BOM....   The ladies were really friendly.   I've had several disappointing visits to quilt shops that felt like a closed society.... anti-friendly... anti-helping a black woman who loves quilting.... 

So... I certainly match kindness when it is genuine!!

'Tis now the MONTH  of  MAY 2016

I am glowing with satisfaction of my front and backyard flower garden in place.  
The satiny, ruffled and as fancy as a party dress, garden peonies (P. lactiflora) are the center of attention.  Thanks  ~ God's nickname is dear Mother Nature.

Beauty in God's Flowering Season

Lovely evening sunset on the patio.





 Te revival... and surviving of last years Hydrangea.... looking the just the right environment of sun and shade and good watering in a pot.  Praying it will thrive!

The Month of March 2016


Somewhere during the month of March..... there was basketball madness.....  
. . . Then my Senior Citizen Quilt club that meets at our local Ralph Ellison Libary.... began a very creative MYSTERY QUILT...
 

It really stumped me.... I was trying to read... and think too much... in light and dark color combinations... I didn't like this block  

hmnnn.... I have a great prayer partner.... and we take it to the Lord almost daily.... 
 ..there is the EVERLASTING newscasting of the Election Year  politics.... 
 NOW.....back to the creative spirit of picking fabric combinations..... this is what pulled me into the sewing room once again....


THANKS..... for sharing my posts today....   
BE BLESSED....

BEVERLY

Indian Girl Quilt

Good Morning Oklahoma World & Beyond

Remember My Cousin Theola..... well there is a family heirloom quilt she wants repaired..... of course I always thing of a duplicate!

 You can see the wear and tear...... the yarn hair and ribbon and the trim on the little cape.   They are all girls!!

Here's a pattern I've keep close at hand!

Happy Stitching Days

What goes with me?  A small goal of completing (shamefully) SIX sets of HEXIES for six great ladies in the Inchy Hexagon Swap.   

A good thing.... I really cannot go start a quilt until I do the catch up.   The right thing..  Hopefully I'll bring a smile.   The Inchy Hexagon facebook page 
**  GO VISIT EM! **  click above ...  or click on my sidebar!



A few "want-to's"    The OKC Quilt show 2016 ... I clicked the beautiful quilting feathered designs on something as simple as flying geese!

"want-to" #2 ...  this reminds me Grandma Lottie's Family heirloom quilt.... this is bridal


And My cousin Theola..... packed around in her trunk... and pulled out one set of unfinished "Dutch Girls".... quite ugly and really not usable...

Might be and "NOT WANT-TO" project......

Happy and Blessed

You (and I) have brains in our head .....

Oh the places I AM GOING.... in 2016.... this is just a snapshot of the GYPSY QAL quilt.... orderly chaos

I almost think I could make this out of my scraps and extra blocks ALL OVER MY QUILT ROOM....  just to look at the quilt and create my variation....
