Finally

Well, the sun, moon & planets were all aligned properly and I took pictures! Yay! =-)

Lottie's Quilt measures 6 ft x 5 ft.

The fabric is a layer cake from "Symphony" by Sentimental Studios for Moda. The backing is a yard (or however much) from the same line plus black fabric. The binding is the same black fabric. (Not very imaginative, I know. But it looks good on the front. =-) )

(Beautiful day, huh?!)

You can see some of the quilting better from this side. It's my first time doing Free Motion quilting on an actual Quilt! Yay! (A big Thank You to Leah Day for giving me the courage & knowledge to try it!)

I gotta run now! Gotta go get all clean and sweet-smellin' for my weekend getaway/date with Boyfriend! We're heading to a Winery and hotel for Anniversary Fun!!! (Sorry, Otin. No webcam. But I'm sure Boyfriend would love to take pictures! lol)

Ya'll have a fun weekend too!

p.s. I also took pictures of the Baby Quilt and I'll post them as soon as I can! (I would say "as soon as I can *walk*, but I don't really need to walk to post, so...)

LOL!

p.p.s. I *know* I owe you pictures of Bunny's quilt, but it's in hiding! She hasn't seen it and I have to wait until her birthday (the 30th) to get it out, give it to her, then (finally, finally, finally!) take pictures of it! I can't wait for her and you to see it!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

What a gorgeous quilt! Have you been to the National quilt museum in Paducah, KY? We happened upon it by chance. See my post about it at: http://pat-aviewfromtheedge.blogspot.com/2009/05/putzing-in-paducah-kentucky-that-is.html.

You asked about Jeremiah Weed. It's a 100 proof bourbon that tastes slightly sweet. It's pretty strong - you can't drink a lot of it - it's dangerous!

Who's Who...

Me - 50yo daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, friend.

2013 was a Really Big Year; I realized I am a "conduit" for Universal Healing Energy. ("The Angels" help me to help others.)

I also discovered that my Purpose in this Life is TO LOVE OTHERS. Period.

Boyfriend - My dear, sweet husband of over 30 years... God! Has it really been that long?! In a way it seems like just a few years, and in another way it seems like I've *always* had him in my life.

He is the one who has given me "permission" to learn how to spread my wings and fly.

He's my best friend, and I know I can *always* count on him. He's always there for me!

Bunny - 24 y.o. daughter who's a photographer and artist, with a full-time job with full benefits. She just got married (Sep 2013) to her best friend & lover, Ashton. They both have hopes of continuing college some time in the near future.

Kitty - 22 y.o. daughter who is (many times) the voice of reason for me. I know. Who in their right mind would admit something like that, right? But I never said I'm in my "right mind"! =-) She loves to cook and do artsy things, and she recently got married too (Oct 2013), to Josh. She's going to community college, working, and taking care of her kitties, husband and others...

Z - My 24-year old little sister. She's only 5 months older than my oldest daughter. (She's my Dad's child, not my Mom's.) She lives down the road with Daddy, works all the time and parties all the time and sleeps all the time. Don't ask me how she does *that*. I don't know! Plus, she takes classes at the community college.

Daddy - My 81 year old, Harley-riding and STILL YOUNG Dad! ("You Go, Daddy!!!") *He* is the reason for the weekly "Saturday-morning breakfast-out together" ritual.
The breakfasts were put on hold two summers ago while he was working at Yellowstone... And now he has a LadyFriend on his mind. He NEVER thought *that* would happen again. =-)

I'm tellin' ya; my Dad is KickAss! =-)

Suzanne - My older sister (only by 3 years) who lives in the country in Eastern N.C. She's married to a true Country Boy who's the smartest person i know.

My Lovely Assistant - The sweet and smart dog we've had for over 12 years now. (And by "we" I mean everybody BUT Boyfriend. He says "Animals belong OUTSIDE!" He's simply waiting for her to die...) She's getting old, can hardly hear anymore, and follows me all over the house.

It's gonna be a sad, sad day when she tells me, "It's time, woman. Let me go..."

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone...

I'll update when I think about it...

=-)
