Drunkard's Path?

This will be my fith PHd. It is from a class that I took a couple of years ago and has been sitting around. This is scary. I've found five PHd's and those are the ones in plain view. They aren't the ones in the bin in the storeage room. The reason that there's only a bin is that we downsized from a house to a condo. Before that, there was a basement full of fabric and PHd's. However, dh insisted that he wanted to bring his stuff to the condo also, go figure.

Time Flies

I can't believe that so much time has passed since my last post. M. asked me last night if I'd forgot that I had a blog. I grinned and said, no but................. Actually, I have no good reason, just excuses.

A few days ago we celebrated my dad's 90th birthday. His big birthday bash is in July as he didn't want people from the country coming in on possibly bad roads. He has always been the type to think of others. It was a nice start to 2010.

I had typed up some of my mom's favorite recipes for my dd and she said that it was her favorite Christmas present as she still misses my mom. I told her that it was okay to miss gramma and that she could think of her when she baked.

Oriental Quilt

I love Oriental fabrics and I had an opportunity to use them in this class.

A Christmas Quilt Top

I did the initial centre block and than the next person put it on point. Each person in the round robin did a row. I had hoped to get it quilted for this Christmas but maybe for Ukranian Christmas.

A gifted bag...

A friend of mine, F., made this purse using the Chenille technique. She decided that she didn't like the purse and I did, so I inherited it.

Mail Fun

Yesterday, I opened our mailslot to find out that the book I'd won from Karen's giveaway had arrived. I had a lot of fun looking through Applique Outside The Lines by Becky Goldsmith and Linda jenkins. Thank you very much Karen. My husband, Bruce was trying to figure out who I knew in Norway, grin. This was my first blogging win and hopefully not the last. In the New Year, I will have one of my own.

Relative of 90 - Olypic torchbearer-Frank Wilson

I am so very proud of my Uncle Frank. He has always been involved in community functions and so Pilot Mound Legion chose him as their Olympic torch bearer representative. And this is after he had heart surgery this summer and was told to put his affairs in order. We didn't know that he was going to be on the news and I couldn't figure out why Bruce wanted me to get to the tv so quickly. Uncle Frank was doing his practice walks with my cousin Doug going with him. He carries the torch on Jan. 7th, Winkler, Manitoba. I am really hoping that my dad, who will be 90on Jan. 11th, and is mostly in a wheelchair will go. If the roads are at all good, I will be there, crying and screaming Uncle Frank's name. When I was a little girl, he used to run around the town. Now, at 90 he is a walking tribute.
