not too long after they met,
this fine young couple got married.
September 15, 1956.
they had no idea that their life would be so full!
3 fabulous children.
6 amazing grandchildren.
a life in Texas, Alaska and Washington.
giving and taking
honor and respect
loving and laughing
good times and bad
forsaking all others.
Congratulations on 55 years !!!!
with love, Jan

this no sew thing is starting to get to me.
so
i got into a little basket of scraps that somehow didn’t move to the new house yet.
just like my ancestors who crossed the plains in covered wagons..
(i suppose they did…. i mean, everybody did, didn’t they??)
i am piecing together little scraps from what i have on hand
from humble beginnings,
a quilt will grow….
- starting with some blues and some bees.
naming this one “the moving quilt”
(a.k.a “the sanity quilt”)
those of you who do the needle thing will know what i mean….
