Retired, happily married for forty five plus years, have one daughter and two wonderful grandsons. I am a member of the Missouri River Quilt Guild. Our guild is sewing quilts and lap quilts for charity. We are donating the quilts to a local foster care program and the lap quilts are going to the VA hospital.
We had heavy winds and rain here this morning. It was trash pickup day so the wind decided to topple all the trash cans. We have trash everwhere plus many downed trees.
This one is next door and just missed our house by a few feet.

Visitors
Look at the visitors we have been having the past 10 days or
so.
These are Baltimore orioles. First we just had one,
several days later we started seeing 2 of them. I put out jar lids with
blackberry jelly in them. Yesterday a third one appeared. We had a
feeder out for them but they prefer the jelly. Not sure how long they
will stay.

I decided to join the “Stitch Me Up Embroidery” blog since I do
enjoy hand embroidery. I always have a project ready to grab to take with me
for doctor appointments or road trips.
I ordered a sample package of the Finca thread from Jane at Janes Fabrics and Quilts and I
must say it is a very nice thread. I chose a design for my project were I could
use a lot of different colors from my sample package.
I personally know Cyndi from Bee Tree Designs so I wanted to
use one of her designs as my pattern for the door stop I made. Hopefully
Spring is just around the corner so I can open the door and put my new doorstop
to use.
Please visit all the other lovely stitching projects.
This is a Bird Brain design that I hand embroidered . I always have a project ready to grab when I need to sit and wait for appointments for myself or my mom. I have a problem sitting and not having something to do. I finished the piecing and quilting in time for Christmas and the winter season.
