Bundles!

I found a great video! Maybe we will see you this week!! Bundles of quilted Blessings!! Karie

Boundrys!!

Here is a great video! Get a cup of tea or coffee and sit back and enjoy the "class"!

We are trying to keep the pond water out of the basement, it is 5 ft. away. We had great help from our son Kev and a gang of boys he brought to help fill and place more sandbags. Our friend in Denver, Deb, sent a special prayer in our email, encouraging us and claiming a boundry that the waters would not exceed. We trust in that prayer! God Bless You if I don't make it back this week! Keep Dry!!

Deep Freeeeeeeeze=Quilting!!! AGREE?

Hope this finds you well this morning! I know the flu is going around; it hit Lori and her family upper-respitory last week and now the stomach flu has hit Cora here in Indiana and Andrew in South Carolina. My Lori, near Augusta, says that 6 were burned and killed in the sugar refinery explosion in Savannah and many were injured and are in burn units..She is giving blood this week...and as a nurse I urge anyone here too to give blood to build up the blood banks. Now,God Bless you and enjoy the video!!!

hey! it's 9 here in northern Indiana this A.M! Can't wait to come "south" gals!!!

Quilted Blessings!!! Kari and Lori

Because of the Brave!

I wanted to stop by this morning to share an experience that Lori had yesterday at the shoppe. I am so sorry I missed meeting Ed but, I am sure our paths will cross soon. He was a wealth of inspiration! Being a reenactor at the Pioneer Village at Ceasers' Creek in nearby Waynesville, he brought the history that we love even closer than our wildest dreams!
We can certainly see God working our lives together through our precious shoppe! People making it so wonderful, you see! Ed says the period of time at the village dates 1700-1810 and the log structures date back to the era. What makes it even more clear that God is blessing, is we have a client that I longarm for from Massachusets at texrepro.com. She is perfecting her design of the 3 inch clam commonly used in that time period also. Dyeing her own wools and linens, she sends her boxes full of complete and wonderful surprises everytime.
My husband, as you are all learning is very "handy", has made a template for my "suziebell" so our clams can run true and not into each other. Anyways, her love and interest is the same period as Eds'. In the near future, she is desiring to have a "trunkshow" at Olde Glory. She will be sending a couple of the linsey/woolsey quilts we have accomplished so far..there is also a wonderful chintz and homespun that we have also sewn on.
If you care to take a peak, you can visit her at the link I gave above.
But, back to Ed and the village; I am sure Olde Glory will be very interested in setting up a booth this summer at Pioneer Village and enjoy sitting back and watch history reoccur. History!
Please show your interest in this period, if you have any, as the reenactors are "getting thin" Ed shares, and less of them survive in these busy days!!
Pause and ponder and be grateful for the roads of toil our ancestors walked on for us; so we could enjoy our land and even take for granted our freedoms today....
Land of the free because of the Brave!!!

To Begin

Classes have sprung up on Sycamore Street....Do we see a sycamore tree on sycamore street? hummmmm ok! I won't keep you...just thought we would add some onsight pictures of our beginner classes...it is fun...and the students are so gracious as we begin our teaching experiences!! Keep up the good work! and OH just a reminder if you are planning to come to the Gathering Pieces for Hope on Sunday afternoon....don't forget your mats and rotary cutters if you have them and also if you can have your pieces cut in 5 inch squares or 2 1/2 inch strips we think that would move things along too!! we can share our fabric together, I know sometimes it is fun to work with something new from someones elses stash! I am in Indiana, now with snow over the pond. My Gary is trying to figure out how to add a diversion of the possible water away from our walkout basement before the spring rains add even more moisture to the swollen farm land around us; our pond being a lower catch basin and all muck and sand underneath...he is a "smarty" so I trust he will get it all figured out! So, Lori will be there on Sunday for our first Gathering. They will continue on the 2nd Sunday of each month. See you at Olde Glory!!! God Bless!!!
Quilted Blessings! Kari and Lori

DREAM DREAM DREAM!!!

Can you tell I am having so much fun putting in these videos for you gals to watch!! I love Karen Mctavish!! I have even received email from her, she is a sweety!!! You have to buy her most recent book too because it is her last one she is writing, one of her first ones is already out of print and very valuable if you find it!!!
Hope you are staying dry!!! We are praying our pond does not enter our basement tomorrow!! Raining cats and dogs here in Northern Indiana, and then 6 inches of snow tomorrow after ice! ARGH!!...may not make it to Lebanon till Thurs!
Quilted Blessings!!! Kari
