Cars and Quilts............

Phew! I've had a busy time the last few days!
First, my grandson's birthday was 2 days after Christmas and we hadn't celebrated it yet! Poor kid, his birthday is always put off 'til later! Let me say that they celebrate within their immediate family, but not with all of us. So, we did the birthday party last night and it was really fun! He just got his driver's license about a month ago. So, naturally, he is saving money to buy his first car. So, I made him a "Cars" cake, got him the movie "Cars", a model kit of a '68 Mustang and some money for his bank account. He liked it all, in spite of being 17!



Then, I got a message from the sewing store that we needed 8 quilts to meet our quota of 500 quilts for this year! We just started this project in June, so it really was only 6 months. I had 2 kits to sew and I made one little baby quilt from my own materials.
I called the store to let them know I would bring 3 baby quilts to the store on Saturday. So, I was sewing up quilts like crazy! I still didn't know if 3 would be enough. Then, when I got there on Saturday, I found out that we indeed, did have 501 quilts!
Yay, us! We did it! This made me very happy! Here are the three that I made.....

Now it's time to reset the counter for this year!

Just checkin' in........

Yes, I'm still alive! I've been gardening and working. I've started replacing the rest of the bushes in the front foundation planting. Some of those have been in there for 39 years, at least. Some were put in after that. They are all overgrown!! I don't have any pictures, been too busy to take them. I have one more huge Rhododendren left, so I will take a picture of that one. The others are gone, so it's too late for them. I replaced some last summer and I have been wanting to get to the rest, and the time has finally come! I am still trying to visit all my blogging friends that left such sweet comments on my Rooster blog, so please bear with me. I need more hours in my day, but I will get there eventually. This is my 95th post, so I will be having my 100th post giveaway soon. I'll be showing what I will be giving away very soon. Stop back often. 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean
