i am here
October 28, 2015
I have been spending some time in the sewing room. I finished a toddler quilt for one of the grandsons. I used up some scrap fabric that I had from another project or two to finish this quilt. It's all washed and already in it's new home.
I've been wanting to make Quilt of Valor quilts, but just never can find the time to make a whole quilt. I found a Facebook page that you only make star blocks and send them to a woman who puts the blocks together to make the quilt top and then quilts it, and they are just beautiful! So I've started making star blocks to go into quilts for veterans. I don't have to make the whole quilt, I just have to make the blocks and right now that seems to be a better fit.
We've been to the apple orchards twice this fall. We usually get the seconds on the apples and this year the apples were absolutely huge. I found this recipe on Facebook and so far have made it twice, it's absolutely delicious and easy. Here is the link for the recipe.
I have been volunteering at the local hospital once a week, sometimes it's more. It gets me out of the house, talking and meeting people and it feels good.
Hope to catch up with you all soon.
