Postcards

Silly-ness!  Well, that's what my friend Julie and I enjoy a lot of with each other.  Even though we are miles apart with her living in Iowa and I'm down here in good ole Texas I always tell her it's

like we're 

sisters.....from anuther muther!

This postcard arrived in my mail yesterday!!!!

In my previous post I mentioned my hacking cough I can't seem to get rid of.......well, add a little family drama going on to that and that is what Julie and I were going back and forth 

through emails about.  I told her with all the drama and this

cough I wanted to run away to a quiet little 

CABIN IN THE WOODS!!!

(well, I guess it wouldn't be so quiet after I show up coughing..??)

I just LOVE getting her hand made postcards, they ALWAYS make me feel better!!

Julie has sent me numerous postcards these last couple of years and here is how I keep them.  They are out all the time so I can enjoy them and get a smile EVERYDAY!!!

THANKS JULIE!!!!

P.S.  My cough is MUCH better.....I seem to be on the mend!!  Thanks to all my well wishers!

I'm Scared....!!

Do you think they will REALLY come????

Santa Did Good...uh.....well...sorta

Santa went shopping at the antique mall.

 HE found this WONDERFUL vintage quilt top HE liked VERY much!

SO HE bought it....for MRS. CLAUS.

 But being new to all this quilty 'stuff n things' SANTA didn't know what to look

out for after all.

SANTA didn't know this lovely little quilt top would and could have some "issues".

It had some really neat 9 patch blocks HE liked A LOT.

WHAT A BONUS... it was hand sewn and all.

 SANTA didn't know it would be "WAVY-WAVING" at him when he brought it home for

MRS. CLAUS.

HE also didn't know MRS.CLAUS would hug his neck and thank him

despite the quilt top flaws!!!

NOTE...the first thing I will do is remove the border.  It is a wreck!  I think someone besides the top maker sewed on the border and they DID NOT know what they were doing!

Gal Pals

Quilters sure make some of the best BLOGGY GAL PALS!!

One in particular is JULIE from JOE TULIPS QUILT blog.

We have fun online together through our blogs.  She is CRAZY FUNNY and I enjoy ALL of my

correspondance with her.  Especially when she sends me one of her 

ORIGINAL hand made POSTCARDS!!

Last month I posted about being sick and she worked her creative magic and

sent this sweet little bird to help me feel better.

I LOVE IT JULIE!!!

Thanks for being such a great GAL PAL to me!!!

It's Not Like I Need Any

I'm still REBELLING!!

 Not buying fabric 

that is.....

because of the high prices!  

It was 20 MONTHS yesterday since I have purchased ANY FABRIC!!!

From the photo of my stash you can see that I certainly DON'T NEED ANY!!!

Cotton prices are around 70 cents right now, about half the price 

they said it was for the last 2 yrs.  I think fabric prices should  

come down too.....don't ya think???

Remember when I went camping HERE with my friend JULIE???

Well, I also went on a vacation trip with my friend JOANN!  You can go HERE for part 1

and HERE for part 2 and read allllll about it!!

I also want to THANK all my quilting buddies for your well wishes on my recent

SICK SICK SICKNESS!!!  I am feeling SOOOO much better and seem to be on the mend!

I Went Camping

I didn't either.
