Brookes' graduation

Last Wednesday my grandaughter Brooke graduated from St.Annes in Lodi, Calif. and will now be in high school. She is the oldest daughter of my younger son.  It is so hard to believe she will be in high school.  When I was young ( I was once you know) I used to hear my Grandmother and Auntie say "my how time flies"  I would think , no it goes by so slow, now here I am saying and thinking the same thing.  I couldn't attend Bookes graduation so my daughter took picures of her and her two sisters for me.  Nothing like being a Grandma.  Wish I lived closer.

my first swap block quilt

I belong to Mary Janes Farm , our local chapter is Klamath Falls Charming Chicks. We are women with farmgirl attitude. Whether you sew, bake, knit, hang clothes on a clothesline, have animals or even just have a windowsill garden, you are a gal with a farmgirl heart.  I went on the Mary Jane site and became involved in a chat for quilters.  We had a block swap in March and I received quilt blocks from different areas of the United States and I sent 2 different block patterns out to differnt ladies.  Here is my quilt I have put together.  I just need to put the binding on the edges and it will be finished.  I am so happy with it.  I have only made one quilt before this.
