Storms

We have had our share of storms today.    Some estimate almost 7 inches. There were four tornados that touched down, many homes and property damaged, two water rescues with success, roads are   flooding.

Hubby and I were out earlier looking for shapes in the clouds. And this is what we saw. Yes there are elephants in Hatfield, Arkansas.  


Say a prayer for Pickle, Penny, I hear her home has some damage.

Stay safe as we are under tornado watch till 4 am

No-reply blogger

Well our friend Richard at Richard and Tanya Quilts informed me that I was set as a no-reply blogger. He has helped me figure it out and I think I have that fixed. I have taken the google+ linking off and I think that will fix it. I hope so anyway.  I was afraid you other ladies who contribute would be running into the same thing.  And I didn't want to cause y'all any grief .  You all want to be able to enter giveaways with no problems.  Right.   ;-)

I apologize if this has been an issue for y'all.  Maybe we are fixed.   You know the newest thing isn't always the best.


Thanks Richard.....

We had many beautiful quilts shown last night.  I got a few pictures, but it seems I have filled my phone.lol. I have to move them to the computer so I can fill it up again..  Here are the ones I could get pictures of.  

This is Barbara's crazy nine patch from retreat.

Susan made a crazy nine patch without smashing in blues and brown sit was beautiful. I didn't get a picture. :-(



This one is Sharon's Roll Roll Cotton Bowl a Bonnie Hunter mystery.  I love this border.


This one is Linda's. It was given to her by family and is hand stitched. It will set 9 x 11. Linda only needs to make 2 four patch blocks to have them complete and be able to start sewing it together.  Isn't it beautiful.

I look forward to our next retreat in September. Hopefully I will have my Merry Go Round finished and something new in progress...

I can't believe it is practically June.  I need to get some tops quilted......I will never make my goal of a quilt for my family members for Christmas at this rate.   I'm just half way thru them.  And they are mostly from scraps.  Trying real hard not to buy fabric.  ;-)

Back To Square One

I have May's clue done in my Back To Square One Mystery Medallion quilt. I had some trouble with these square-in-a-square blocks because I obviously cut my last squares a tad too big. So I scrapped them and started over. I really like how they look. Just don't look too close! I don't do perfect. Never have and never will. I try, and I seem to get better all the time but I am still not there.
