Glory


Writing the post yesterday and adding the Army Chorus singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic threw off my template, so if you want to be blessed please go to You Tube and download. It was in the Rose Garden at the White House, very moving and full of conviction...
A couple mornings ago the midwest was awakened by an earthquake..I woke up to "something"...and did not realize what it was....my hub was in S. Ohio and busy in an Er there so he did not feel that quake, just the one he experiences almost very night as an RN...I do feel his pain!! seeing that I use to also practice...anyways, our son did feel it in town, it shook their bed and windows rattled...the after shock came around noon...
The rumbles of war heard round the world..was true in Julie Ward Howe's' day and still today...as the scripture shares, men only stop war long enough to sharpen their blades for another one coming...
As for news on my quilt shop, it will soon open!! I have all the shelves now back in N. Indiana. Gw brought 4 loads total to get it all back here...THANK YOU SWEET HUB!!!..you are totally amazing!...and I love you!!! my soul mate!
But, soon I will be talking of classes again, tips, and what is going on here at Old Glory Quilt Shoppe on Hawthorn Road Plymouth Indiana.....I am into Dear Jane now and it is so much fun to be doing a quilt that a Jane did during the civil war period..of course 250 fabric choices has got to have something to do with it!! haha over 5000 pieces in all...amazing!!!.... yes, wish me luck!!....you can take a peek at my progress at inthesewingbasket.blogspot.com......today I make the first block..and since I just found my cool blog I am 12 blocks behind!! as Pooh says...OH Dear! ME!!....I have a young grandy that loves Pooh!.
So, keep stopping by, leave a comment too, I would love to hear from you...let me know what you need!!! really!!! Quilted Blessings! Kari

You Go Girl!




I tried girls I really did!! I tried to post a new video on instruction but it just won't load..or so I thought..finally I decided to just post a couple vintage pictures that I like...so I opened up the page and here 2 of the videos had loaded, didn't fit the page but they were echoing themselves!! haha!! Yep, it is after midnight and I am all caught up on my blogs!..for now...tomorrow If I get a chance to practice my Dear Jane pieces I may post a bit of news on the inthesewingbasket.blogspot I have just for my Dear Jane project...so anyways!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures....I came home from the hospital in a 1949 Chevy or something that looked like that car but black....wrapped up warm in my Mothers' arms....lucky me! really!!....and then the sewing! Oh the sewing!!! started collecting buttons (which I don't have now ) when I was very young and hand sewing at 4 yrs old...
Plain and Simple! and remember it is only fabric girls!!!...Life is much more fragile!!! Love it and live it!!! Quilted Blessings!!!!
