A New Year 2014

Another new yr. Shawn (Navy son) left on a 8 month deployment he has been transferred to the HMC Regina, was on the HMC Vancouver on his last deployment. He came home before Christmas with Maddy(gd) for a week.

Christmas was really quiet nobody was coming home so it was just Randy and I, then his mom was not doing well and they called all the family she lives in Sask. and the temp was -42 glad I stayed home watched movies on  Netflix girly ones that Randy wouldn't be interested in. New Years eve well I was in bed before it arrived.
On the quilting front I am caught up with Linda's BOW 1 more to go and it will be released on Sun.

 I think Autumn will like it she will get it for her bd in May.
Was playing around with a jellyroll and decided to make Dresden plates got 8 made and another 4 to do.

My Christmas cactus was so full of blooms this year guess re potting it makes a big difference

Merry Christmas everyone

Christmas eve and all is quiet around here Randy had to go to Saskatchewan as his mom is not doing well I'm holding down the fort, the dog, cat and 10 chickens. I get to watch movies on Netflix.
I did some sewing today all caught up with Linda's BOW think ther are only 3 blocks left. Will try to get a picture tomorrow to post.

Sewing

Today I was busy making backings for the 3 tops I have done, the Christmas Bulbs are on the frame this one has been on the frame since the spring retreat just needed to make the backing now it's almost quilted doing an all over meandering loops, they are so easy to do. Should have it done tomorrow, then I think I'll load the Strawberry top. Could have 3 finished this month.
