It will primarily be a forum for WonderMom to showcase her quilting and sewing achievements. We may also use it to show off our grandkids and maybe some of SuperDad's achievements - if he ever has any!
We returned from our winter home in AZ on 04/04 with a little sunshine clinging to our bumper. That weekend was warmish and sunny, thank you very much! We spent much of it helping Cricket look for a new car. Since then, however, the weather has fallen back into it's Midwestern habit of being cold, wet, and miserable for far too long. What'd you do with Spring while we were gone?
Anyway! Here are some of WonderMom's latest creations in quilts. The first one was actually created last fall and left with the quilter over the winter. They did an excellent job with a vines and leaves pattern. Hope you can see the details in the photo. Here's "Crazy Quilt" a log cabin strap quilt. (click on the photo for a larger image)
This one is her finest achievement to date IMHO. She created it over the winter with her "winter" sewing machine. Here's her "Stained Glass" quilt. It is not complete or quilted, but worth showing off a little.
So far, SuperDad has cleaned out some of the flower beds and replaced the OTR microwave which died suddenly last Thursday. Replacing it was an emergency as this appliance is used only slightly less than the refrigerator in our home! Normally this wouldn't be a noteworthy accomplishment except the mounting system was different from the old one, and the $*@! power cord had a straight plug, not a right-angled wall-hugging plug for which the original installation was designed. So everything had to be redone, in close quarters, over the range, with my left hand!
Well, that's all for now. I'm trying to get WonderMom to do some blogging here so you don't have to listen to my bitchin' only! We may post more often than weekly, but don't count on it.
