Well my friends, off an running again.  Life has been rough, more catching up to do.  I just LOSE track of time.  I have been busy with finding my way... creating a space that I love to live in, and quilty adventures.  These past several years everyone who is close knows I have been realizing one of my retirement dreams of quilting.  

One of the first things I did was take a class at the local quilt shop.  Loved Thimbles and miss it so much.  Cindy and Lewis (sp) Webb and family are the absolute best.  Miss having a store close... so I suck it up, fill the gas tank and drive an extra 30 ish miles.  New kids and town and Mama Bears Quilt Show is top drawer! 

I learned to quilt at a young age but had NEVER quilted from an actual pattern!   Thanks to my very, VERY patient instructor Jan who got me on the right track.  

I will be trying to post more content, but this was a by far a favorite experience.  This is the quilt "Interlocking Chains" from the book "New Ways With Jelly Rolls"   Thanks to Jan Keough for making my 1st class at a quilt store memorable.  

Shown here on display at the Strawberry Mountain Quilt Guild Show last year in John Day!
