I Did a THING!

 Because I was home all week and not in California as planned...
My thoughts went to what can I do to make this week count?

There were many other things I could have done.

The beginnings of a Book Quilt from Jenny's Tutorial HERE

She used a Layer cake. I went totally from my scraps and STASH.

I watched it grow all week.

Which way should the books lean??

5 rows, ready to stitch together.

I moved them around a bit.

I loved making the Rose in the vase Block.

Rows all sewn- across.

I figured it would be easier to embroider the tiles of Books on the quilt in rows.

I spent a day stitching on the first row of books into the WEE hours.

I think I need a different stabilizer to avoid puckering.

What do you think?

DD#1 provided the Book Titles from her family.

She told me her NEW bookcases are more Gray than Tan, oops!

Maybe the shelves should be Gray.

I'm leaving the background Tan.

I had a whole bolt of the Tan fabric from Kona Bay.

I sort of looked like wood to me. 

We were able to attend the memorial Services for Cary.

Family is Forever and I am so grateful for that.

Happy 1st day of Summer!!

My Grandpa William Brown was born on this day 139 years ago today.

I'ts SUMMER!!

Somebody needs to tell the weatherman.

It was chilly at the Sweets game last night.

I went to 3 games in a row., 

And I got to stay for the whole game!

What a game it was, hits, Homeruns and great catches.

That means I'm NOT ready for Summer guests, yet...lol

It's this Grandpa William Brown's Birthday.

This is how I remember him.

I still have this chair.

The picture tells lots of stories.of my childhood home.

A Prince with the same name was born in 1982 on this day
