checking back

Well a lot has happened since my last post....some good and some terrible, but I am still here.

I finished quilting all 30 blocks for my quilt and got the walking foot off my machine so I can resume my block a day.  But I have about 10 blocks to do to get caught up :)  I did 3 blocks last night...no pics yet and today it is snowing so I probably will do a few more blocks.  The February blocks that are remaining are intricate so it will take me awhile.  March I am going to California for 2 weeks, but the blocks are mostly template blocks (which I skip) so I won't get terribly behind.  Maybe tonight I will be able to take pics and get a bunch loaded for you to take a gander at.

Some of the highlights of the last two weeks.... a couple of birthdays, I got my hair cut, talked to all my kids, did a lot of family history work, more puppies were born, and I sewed a LOT.  Oh, I found an aunt and cousin on my dad's side that nobody even knew about.  My uncle  Mack died young in the war and my aunt Ida Lea that gave me all the info on my dad's side didn't know that he married and had a child....at least that's what his death certificate says.  All my aunts and uncles on that side are gone so I can't ask questions, but I can go by official documents and he had a wife and a child!  That's so surprising and exciting!  Anyway I must get back to sewing if I'm ever going to catch up.....
