A NEW MARINE!

We are so proud!  Our 2nd son, Andrew who we call Odie just this morning earned his Eagle, Globe, and Anchor and became a Marine after 13 grueling weeks of training.  Next week a few of us drive to South Carolina to pick him up after graduation!  We even get to keep him for Christmas as he will fly out to North Carolina for more training. 

Quilting - busy as a bee!

I machine quilted a baby quilt for my Bestest girlfriend.  I argued with the sewing machine for almost 2 months before it decided to cooperate. 

I put together a quilt top for a friend who is sick.  I hope to machine quilt that this weekend.  It is to help keep him warm during his illness. 

And, I have two quilts to make for Christmas.  What quilter out there doesn't have gifts to make at such a late date?  They may not be full quilts, but I will get there. 

Thanksgiving is tomorrow.  I am thankful for all the blessings God has given us over the years.  I am also thankful that I can stay home tomorrow where it is warm while it is icing up outside. 

Well, that's all for now. 

Hugs,
