All About Blogging..... and Growing !

Today's world of social media seems to drive "US" human beings toward a shared community.   I often think of the single pebble that is dropped into the pond.... and it's ripply effect begins!

Over the last 12-14 years, I have seen God make inroads and expansions into my personal well-being, into my family circle - church family - and within my creative adventures.... via the internet blogland!

So....it's hello and happy to meet YOU ladies and guys --- young and the treasured - seasoned old!  I'm at about 85% percentage points  -- leaning into the old-folks category.   I consider it a bliss!

This is how my garden has grown over the years!    After my dad's passing, I draw towards a closeness in the backyard that he cut, tendered, grew veggies and "piddled around in the yard" !!

Dear Dad

He seems to have been the tip-off point at which I gathered this neckties and stitched - pieced the star pattern and quilted them into a couple of pillows (1997)

Here are my 2004-2005 Quilt beginnings!  Quilt shows, patterns gathered as I travelled on my job to Wyoming, Iowa, Texas, Carolina's, San Diego!

Dear Mom,

She entered a skilled nursing care facility back in 2002 . . and thus I became something of the family matriarch for my sister of 12 years younger... and four great brothers.  I inherited the family homestead --- and I took over the family gatherings of food, canning and almost a love of pots and pans..... all but the cleanup!

A true garage sale / estate sale collector!

I'm an avid quilter..... shows, contests, museums,   MORE TO COME IN RETIREMENT!

I'm excited to find New Tea Buddies on this GROW YOUR BLOG party!!

Bev's Wishing Well ss where I share a brand new world of tea sippers and bloggers...... ahhhhhh the sheer beauty!

Tuesday ~ Toys & Tricks of the Trade

Hello buzy hands!  
..it's gonna be TREASURES of the TRADE, today!  Open tenderly.... my darlings...

The tapestry is what drew me to these antique shop and estate sale bargains!   They are matching... though I bought them years apart!

The gold-plated scizzors say "W-Germany".  The nail case which I thought was velvet... says Genuine Leather - Germany.   

I think I'll Pinterest the items... and google a bit of good luck to see what other owners might have to say about my treasures!

Won't you be my friend!!! ???   Comment and connect as we show and tell-Tuesday!

After Holiday Burnout....hmnnnnn

Feb 2015! What I've always wanted..... A Tea Cup Exchange!

Words from an inspiring-wise man I first became acquainted with abt 1970 Langston University -- my impressionable college days!  And yes... they were they best of days and years

years!

February 15, 2015

Save the Date !

Stepahnie at THE ENCHANTED ROSE. Blogspot

... is hosring:  a tea cup exchange she first started back in July 2013.

She said.... "It all began with a love for tea cups and a way of making friends from around the world."

Lord knows, I would love to travel this great world he has created! Such beauty abounds!   I've been safe and home-bound in Oklahoma all of my life.    Oh but to peak into blogs and other peoples world of travel.

I really believe God will give me the desires of my heart. 

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

You are Invited . . .

To a soothing cup of tea ~ today..... along with this invitation !!

(ps. . . Jan Olsen first posted this!)

Feelin' Quilty !

Beauty and the Beast within.....

It's just ironic that I'm living 2014 with such peace, beauty and joy..... and yet my world...the USA, the Sandy Hook CT families.... Ferguson MO.... all are filled with INJUSTICE

Still so many Quilting Ideas and Adventures

Lately, I've spent a good deal of my time browsing via tea cup lovely things.....Beverly Wishing Well    click over and visit - won't You!

But the juices began to flow and the hum of the sewing machine is quite relaxing as the winter weather settles into my home!

The first pic below is the NO WASTE paper piece pattern that is almost finished.... Borders...??? maybe not!   Measure.....

Below is a golden oldie.... tucked away... but I do love the tree... great scrap colors.... would love 12" square blocks.... Maybe the Underground Railroad setting..

At the local quilt shop.... I was awestruck by the colors...and I've never done the Chevron Stripe...

 so here's my start!!!  

and.... I'm pulled towards this 2.5" strip setting.....   I took all of my scraps after bundling and scrapping the NO WASTE pattern....   I ironed and replaced them all OH SO NEATLY in plastic bins.... so....

I hope you are inspired to keep on quilting!   

                           Have a Great Day!

BQuiltin.... always

Mother's Quilt Treasury

"Dear old-fashioned quilts 

with your patches so gay 

You retain all the charm 

of an earlier day 

Like the old-fashioned garden 

our grandmothers grew 

Our love never wanes 

for them or for you." 

A quilt sewn together with utmost care 
quilted with love is a treasure to share.
