okay, these are desperate times for photos. I need to get out and take some new stuff. Especially need new pics of the dogs.. Sophie has dislocated her left knee cap and torn her acl.. She's on pain meds, special food for older dogs and less walking.. She also has an enlarged heart and calcifations in her lungs.. But she keeps going .. What an example to all of us of courage and strength.. Chloe's also done similar thing to both of her knees. She has slowed down..NOT.. Crazy little girl. And French Fry just keeps doing the same..being a good old boy...

Quilt club was pretty good.. At Carol's house.. Made a block from Fons and Porter for another donation quilt.. And I forgot my camera and missed pics of Nina's donation blocks of hearts quilt.. It was wonderful.. My fibromyalgia was really acting up yesterday and glad all the gals in club put up with grummpy me yesterday.

Finn, how great to be getting a studio to work in.. It is always such inspiration.. Ebby will have so much fun poking in all the quilting stuff.

Guess, I should go walk the dogs and do some meaningful work to warrant my existence to my husband .. Hope you all are laughing... He doesn't get it .. I life to quilt not to clean..

Okay I'm trying to upload some pictures of quilts I've been working on this year.. Nothing truly completed. The big maple leave thing is the round robin from quilt club. It is really bright.. I have another collage of all 6 quilts together at the our out of order meeting..

This is a sorrowful day with the day after the events at VT... Who would have thought this possible.. How sad.. So scarey and sad..

Windy here in Central Florida..I will quilt most of today...

Where has this year gone... I have not one finished quilting project done. But I have 5 donation quilts in varying stages of completion. One crazy quilt thing that has grown to 48 X 66 and needs bornder and backing.. One queen sunshine and shadown half started to completion.. and a really scappy 4 patch turning to a 16 patch or just lots of different colors sewn together.. I bounce between these. And not to mention I have two Easter table runners that I want to get done prior to Easter to give as gifts for Easter. Hopeful on those two.. I can finish machine quilting and binding those in the next two days.. Right..

I did a big oops when my brother in law and family was visiting.. Didn't know that his kids and probably his wife did know that he had two x's in his past. Oops.. Didn't know it was his big dark secret. I figure it's public record if you really care to look.. Not like I did it on purpose. Just telling the one the kid who is 15 going on 16 the story of ...how did you and uncle meet and get married. Who is and how come kind of stuff that kids always ask ... I would hate to have to live with "dark secrets" and have to tell false tales to make me seem to be a better person. Lies always have a way of catching up with you.. Truth seems so much more simple to deal with.. I guess, He'll either get over it or not. My life will go on and his should if he is truthful for once.

The animals are all doing okay.. Oni is on prednisone for itching from encounter with some fleas.. I'm going to dust the yard with sevin and see if that helps out some. I wish it would rain down here in florida.. Bone dry.. I'm trying to keep some plants my daughter gave me a week or so ago alive with water from my A/C condensor.. My well water has salt and sulfur in it. Yuck..There is purple basil, regular basil, marigolds, zinnas and 6 tomato plants.. Little patio tomatoes that hopeful will survive on my porch in the worst heat of the summer..

I have to get the camera out and post some new pictures of quilts in progress..
