We have learned to give her space because she has been known to take a swat at anyone passing by her. You have heard of cats who purr themselves to sleep? Ours hisses herself to sleep, not joking at all. The only family member that she seems to be fond of is our son. She is a calico and one of the prettiest cats we have ever had, but her beauty belies her temperament.<br />

She likes to sleep on top of a big chest where I store my quilting fabric and this is the look I got from her a month or so ago.<br />

But, her unwillingness to retreat got her into trouble recently, we are assuming by a Copperhead. We never saw it happen, but she obviously had 2 snakebites because we could clearly see fang marks. The other bite is on her hip but I could not get a clear picture of it. Kentucky also has rattlesnakes, but they are a little more elusive than Copperheads, which unfortunately are fairly common. We killed one earlier in the summer in our driveway.<br />

<br />
I cannot even believe she survived 2 snakebites, but she did. It slowed her down for a few days, but she is fine now and is even a little calmer than she has ever been.<br />
<br />
On a totally unrelated subject, as much as I HATE spiders, I walked outside early one morning last week when we had a heavy fog and I found this pretty scene.<br />

<span style="font-family: NoodleScript; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">Wow, it has been so long since I
have been in touch that I do not even know where to begin. I should start by saying I have missed
keeping in touch with you. I do
pop over to the blogs once in a while to spend a few minutes. I will start with quilting, although there is
sadly very little for show and tell. I
miss it dearly but most days my machine barely gets a passing glance. I did finally get this table runner
quilted. It is different from most of the earth tones that I usually pick, but I do love it for spring. I considered a stitch-in-the-ditch but
decided on all-over stippling and I really love it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: NoodleScript; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">I have taken an interest in apple core quilts and decided to give it a
try. I have several projects that I am
finishing for other people, but I just wanted to try one block to see if it was
something I could even do. I got Marti
Michell's 6 inch template and gave it a try.
I have been collecting mens' plaid shirts from Goodwill for several
months now, just picking up one here and there if I see one I like, and have
been cutting those apart in 6 inch and 4 inch blocks, strips for a log cabin,
and smaller strips for a pioneer braid.
I guess it is safe to say I love plaids.
I decided to use some of the shirt fabric for the apple cores, perhaps
throwing in a nearly solid blender fabric here and there. Here is my first attempt. Let's just say that piecing curves is not for
the faint at heart. I am actually pretty
happy with the way my first set turned out.
I am going to put it aside until I finish with my other obligations and
then get back to it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: NoodleScript; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">Next is my baby girl. She has had type 1 diabetes for a little over
2 years now with no major issues, and all of a sudden the last week of March
called me and said she needed me. She
had worked an overnight shift and had been up since 3 a.m. with vomiting and
abdominal pain. I picked her up and knew
immediately that she was in diabetic ketoacidosis. We went to the emergency room and she spent 3
days in the intensive care unit on an insulin drip. Her blood glucose was not even extremely
high, but her ketones had built up and she was one very sick young woman. We have seen an endocrinologist that we both
love and they got the ball rolling for her to be placed on an insulin
pump. Hopefully this will help control some
of the fluctuations in glucose and eliminate a lot of finger sticks and insulin
shots. Any prayers for her would be
greatly appreciated. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: NoodleScript; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">I did try something new that I
have been wanting to do for a long time.
I first had chow-chow when my husband and I visited his grandma in
Mississippi years ago when we were dating.
I had never heard of it. I think
there are several varieties, but this one is basically a green tomato relish. It has green tomatoes, cabbage, onions, bell
peppers, and spices. This is the best
side flavor ever for black-eyed peas, pinto beans, cornbread, lots of
things. A local fruit and vegetable
market here in town got in a load of green tomatoes from Georgia and I canned
chow-chow for the very first time and it is delicious. I am going to make at least 1 more batch
soon. </span></div>

We are trying to look into some respite care for a few days just to be
able to take a long weekend away this summer.
My husband and I went to a wedding 2 weekends ago and that was only the
second time in nearly 2 years that we have been out of our house together. Both
of our kids were working but a niece came and stayed with her for a few hours. The

I use 100% cotton Gutterman for piecing and recently bought some Signature cotton for quilting but I am not really happy with it. It is 40 weight. The price is definitely right but the quality seems to be lacking. Has anyone tried King Tut? I have always used all cotton because that seems to make sense to me since the fabric and batting are 100% cotton, but a lot of people use a poly blend and are happy with it. <br />

question for you guys about your personal photographs, pictures you have taken
of your quilts, crafts, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you put
a watermark or copyright mark on your photos before you put them on your blog
or website?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reason I am asking is
that last night I found something that has me more than a little irked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was googling images last night for quilted
star ornaments and came across one of my own that had been on my Etsy shop a couple
of years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sold that one and made the listing inactive until I get another one
made, assuming I still have the fabric.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I clicked on the image (my original picture, my original creation) and
it took me to a Flickr account from another person, a site called "paperbilities4you."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I visited this web site and there are things
for sale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have absolutely no idea why
this person added my picture to their Flickr unless they are trying to get
traffic by any means necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went
back and looked at my expired listing on Etsy to make sure I had put
"Cobblestone Quilting" on the picture and, sure enough I had but this
person had cropped it out!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a
place on their Flickr to send an email to them, which I have done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is also a place to report use of a
personal photo by another person, which I did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess from now on I will have
to put a big watermark right across the center of my pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is my original picture of the ornament
sitting on my mom's crocheted doily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> As you can see, it is pretty unique in relation to the fabric and you can clearly see the doily it is sitting on. You can also see the Cobblestone Quilting at the bottom, which had been cropped out by the person who used it on her Flickr. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; line-height: 115%;">I cooked
Father's Day dinner one day early so both of our children could be here to
celebrate as my son works all day tomorrow.<span>
</span>I fixed my husband's favorite meal --- chicken and dumplins, butter
beans, and dressing.<span> </span>Uh yes, we were
carb loaded.<span> </span>We do not eat like this
very often.<span> </span>To add to the carbs (and a
touch of heaven in a pan), I tried the Pinterest version of the famous rolls from
Lambert's Café, Home of the Throwed Rolls.<span>
</span>There are only 3 locations in the US, 1 in Alabama and 2 in
Missouri.<span> </span>If you have been lucky enough
to eat at Lambert's --- well, you are lucky.<span>
</span>If you have never had the experience, you really should plan a vacation
to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama, where the Lambert's in Foley is just
a short drive.<span> </span>If you make a trip to
Branson, Missouri, hit up the Lambert's in Ozark. <span> </span>All you have to do at Lambert's is raise your
hand and a roll will be on its way to you, you guessed it, thrown in the
air.<span> </span>Servers walk around with the
biggest muffin pans I have ever seen in my life full of hot, tender rolls.<span> </span>In addition to their menu, they have
"pass arounds."<span> </span>Basically,
servers walk around carrying pans of macaroni and tomato, fried okra,
black-eyed peas, cooked cabbage, and fried potatoes and load you up while you are waiting for your food to arrive. Not kidding.<span> </span>For the link to Lambert's web site, click <a href="http://www.throwedrolls.com/default.asp" target="_blank">HERE</a>. For the link to the Pinterest
recipe for the famous rolls, click <a href="http://tammysrecipes.com/just_like_lamberts_throwed_rolls" target="_blank">HERE. </a>The recipe is easy to follow.<span> </span>I
did use a kitchen thermometer to make sure my water and milk were the right
temperature when mixing up the yeast and the dough.<span> </span>I also used bread flour.<span> </span>My favorite flour is Martha White but I could
not find the bread flour so bought Gold Medal and was not disappointed.<span> </span>My house smelled wonderful when these rolls
were baking, and the pictures speak for themselves.<span> </span>Total success.<span> </span>We cleaned up this pan of rolls at supper and
I will definitely be making them again.<span>
</span>I will not change one single thing because they were perfect.<span> </span></span></span></div>

another subject, years ago I was given a starter for Amish Friendship
Bread.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was during a period in my
life when I had just started my own medical transcription business, was working
12-16 hour days, and had two teenagers in high school, one cheering and one
playing football.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never got enough
sleep and was barely keeping up with the laundry, cooking, and keeping the kitchen
clean --- I am sure every single person reading this has been there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, the Amish starter never made it past
the starter stage in the bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
given another starter a few weeks ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This time, I MADE the time to see what all the fuss was about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh. My. Goodness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used the basic recipe the first time and it
tasted like a big cinnamon sugar donut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My daughter said she thought it tasted like a big loaf of
Snickerdoodle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just never dreamed it would be so light, so
delicious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The smell of it baking
brought my husband downstairs to see what kind of lovin' was in the oven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am on my second round of the starter and
tonight I am making the lemon version.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It smells divine and just came out of the oven. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

are on the subject of baking with yeast, I have a confession to make.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am 55 years old and have never made
homemade sourdough bread.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have an
Oster bread machine that I have been very happy with and that is how I make my
dinner rolls for holidays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before that, we
bought the most wonderful rolls from an Amish bakery in the next county.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, there was again the "time" factor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let me just put
it out there that I can bake cornbread and biscuits from scratch with the best
of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paula and Martha have nothing
on me in that department.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Back to the
sourdough bread … my husband's Aunt Flora came to visit from southern
Mississippi a few weeks ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had
never been to Kentucky and we were so happy to have her with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is a sister to my mother-in-law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is 83 years old and the queen of southern
cooking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She brought us 24 homemade sourdough
rolls and a loaf (which made the best French toast ever).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She shared her recipe with me and tonight I
made the starter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am documenting my
first time…</span></div>

starter will stay at room temperature for 24 hours, then in the refrigerator
for 5 days before it is ready to use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her advice to me was just to not rush the dough during the rising
process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let it take its time for the
first and second rising and also in the pan before baking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am open to any tips from you ladies who
have experience with sourdough bread. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will
take pictures of the rising and baking process when the starter is ready, even
if it is a flop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am determined to
master this and keep her recipe in the family and pass it on to my kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

girlfriend and would I love her also? 21 years later and the ache is still present.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have two children with me but I am the
mom of three. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even with the pain, I am
glad I was chosen to be your mommy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moments
in our arms, forever in our hearts. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
love and miss you still………</span></span></div>

I bought this fabric several years ago and actually have had a friendship star quilt in mind for it, but I have been looking at pictures of this braid variant and decided to try it out. As gorgeous as this blue is, it matches absolutely nothing in my house and may turn out to be a Christmas gift. I did not have a pattern but it wasn't at all hard to figure out. </span></span></div>

The side-setting triangles are Strawberry Jam, which I bought around 2006 or 2007. The blue and tan is Aunt Purdy's Parlor and I am really happy with the way they look together. I did not take any measurements at all when I was putting it together, but when I laid it on my dining room table was thrilled to see that it is a perfect fit. </span></span></div>

I had cut 4 extra Strawberry Jam triangles for the table runner and ended up sewing them to the sides since it also matched the Cattails and Clover. It is probably 13 or 14 inches square now and I will find something to do with it. </span></span></div>

Some spools will fit on the fat ones, but not very many. Secondly, I love looking at Goodwill to find great cotton fabric to upcycle into something awesome. Plaid fabric in guys' shirts often works very well with primitive quilting projects. I always save the buttons for future use. Thanks to Pinterest, I found the coolest way to do this --- cut off the whole strip instead of each individual button. This saves a ton of time when searching for like buttons and it is easy to see in an instant what size, color, and number of buttons you have. </span></span></div>

I love being a part of Marlene's Let's Go Visiting and I am happy to meet some new folks. We are patiently, actually <b><u>EAGERLY, </u></b>waiting on spring, the same as folks everywhere. My work as a medical transcriptionist took me into the wee morning hours or I would have written a little about myself yesterday yesterday. Basically, the subheader of my blog sums it up .... Child of God, wife, mother, sister, daughter, quilter, and more. I love to quilt, I do. My lack of time to devote to it is very frustrating, but I breathe deeply and when I DO get to sit down and quilt it saves my sanity. I usually keep at least one full sized quilt going and a small project or two going at the same time. When I only have 30 minutes to quilt, I work on something small. I am working on a braid table runner right now 3 blue fabrics, a solid, floral, and gingham. I will post a picture just as soon as it is finished. I have work deadlines to meet by noon so I will need to cut this short today, but I am very happy to meet some new folks and will sit down this evening and visit the rest of the blogs on Marlene's list. I hope each and every one of you have a day full of blessings!<br />

We painted the downstairs bathroom in November and I have wanted something quilted in there since. I went through my stash (yes, 2013 is the year for stash busting) and found some Moda --- one called Warm Memories and the other two pieces Vine Creek, both by Kansas Troubles. I have a couple of blogging friends who are the masters of mini-quilts (hello <a href="http://roguequilter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Janet</a> and <a href="http://quilts-bordercollies.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Doniene</a>)! If you love quilting and have not checked out their blogs, hop right on over to both because you will be delighted. Anyway, their quilting and their faith have inspired me many times. My new mini-quilt isn't quite as "mini" as some they have done, but at 15 x 15 inches, it is still mini to me.<br />

I have a couple of baskets in my bathroom and I made garters for both. I am still not quite sure about the bows. It seemed like a good idea, but once I got them on they look a little too "cutesy" for my taste. I can always remove that part later if I decide I would rather not have them.<br />

quilts were ones I was honored to create, but wish the circumstances were
different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our little town lost a
beloved member last August.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His name is
Josh and he was in his 20s, I think 28.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was captain of the volunteer fire
department and that had been his passion since he was a little boy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was engaged to be married in September,
and the week before his death in August he took wedding invitations to all his
firemen friends at their weekly fire meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They later talked about the smile on his face as he passed out the
invitations for the upcoming celebration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He worked as a logger and one morning in August he was struck by a
falling tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He knew he was very badly
injured and wanted to speak with his mom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A coworker dialed her number and Josh spoke to her for several minutes
before he passed away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a mother …… I
cannot imagine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had to be the most
painful yet one of the most precious conversations of her life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She talked calmly to him and asked him to
hang on because help was on the way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
said later that she was at work and did not recognize the number because it was
her son's co-worker's phone and typically would not have even answered it, but
this time she did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said she is
forever grateful for those precious few moments to spend talking to her son
before he died.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The young man's aunt
asked me if I could make two memory quilts, one for her sister and one for her
mother (Josh's mother and grandmother).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Josh's mom loves purple and his grandmother loves red, so they each got
their own quilt made of Josh's tees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
heard from the mom today and she put the quilt on the antique cast iron twin
bed that he once slept in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are
pictures of the two finished quilts and a center block of each, which were tees
from a benefit held in his honor last fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The ladies in the picture are his sister and his aunt. </span></span></div>

He was the only male sibling and his loss has been greatly felt by his family and all who knew him. He loved the farm life, especially riding horses and tractors. I wanted to do something for my sister-in-law to perhaps bring her some comfort and decided to make her a framed quilt block. I talked with his wife and told her what I wanted to do and asked if she had any extra clothes of his that she might be able to part with. She brought me a pair of his jeans and a tee shirt. Since he loved the farm life, I thought about Hole in the Barn Door block but after some thought decided on a simple star, I think it is sawtooth star. Since denim is really heavy and tees are really light, I worried about how this would go together, but it truly went together as well as any I have ever sewn. I did use a fusible stabilizer on the back of the tee to keep it from stretching. I gave my sister-in-law the block today and she really loves it and was very moved.<br />

On a brighter note, my husband hung two bird feeders outside my office window. I have kept my camera ready on my desk and managed to catch a few shots. The quality is not the best because I took the pictures through the glass and screen of my window and had to be really sneaky and slow so the birds would not fly off.<br />

Happy New Year! We have spent the first day of our New Year with the traditional meal of ham, blackeyed peas, cabbage, greens, cornbread, and bundt cake. Just in case you have not heard of the folklore behind the traditions:<br />
<br />
<u><b>Ham (or other pork) </b></u>--- Symbol of progress because pigs always root forward and never backward.<b><u> </u></b><br />
<b><u>Blackeyed peas </u></b>--- Union soldiers pillaged the south during the Civil War, taking food and everything of value. They left the blackeyed peas in the fields, thinking they were animal fodder. Folks throughout the south knew better! The rich nutrients in the blackeyed and field greens sustained them. Blackeyed peas for luck!!!<u><b> </b></u><br />
<u><b>Cabbage and greens </b></u>----- The color of money! These are eaten for prosperity.<br />
<u><b>Bundt cake </b></u>---- We had carrot cake with cream cheese icing, but any Bundt cake will do. It is a circle and symbolizes continuity in the new year, coming full circle without any interruptions.<b><u> </u></b><br />
<b><u>Cornbread</u> </b>---- Just because it tastes sooo good with all the other southern food. <br />
<br />
I did make a cabbage casserole this year in place of our usual cooked or fried cabbage and it was delicious. Cooked about 3/4 done in a little buttered and salted water, drained really well, layered twice with cheddar cheese and buttered Ritz crackers, and baked until cheese was melted and crackers were golden. Yummy!!<br />
<br />
Happy New Year to all my blogging friends! May 2013 bring us closer together! I love getting to know you, showing our pictures of quilts, sharing pieces of our everyday lives, asking you to join me in prayer about certain things (and knowing without a doubt that you are right on it)! I hope each and every one of us enjoys good health for ourselves and our families. For myself and my quilting friends, I hope our piles of UFOs diminish while our finished quilt stack grows and grows! Praying for homes full of God's love, prosperity, joy in abundance, and a very wonderful 2013!<br />
<br />
Hugs!<br />

and a very special tee-shirt that she had slept in as a child until she outgrew it. It was very thin in places and even had a couple of little runs in it. I was afraid to put in in the quilt, thinking it needed a little extra TLC, so I turned it into a pillow for her. I did a FMQ meandering stitch to give it a little extra stability. Her mom has sooo many memories snuggling with her baby girl in this tee shirt. <br />

His mom asked if I could include a couple of very special pieces for her. One was a baby quilt that had been hers (51-year-old quilt) and then Tyler's when he was a baby. This quilt is very worn, very loved, and very special. I carefully cut it apart and made a block for Tyler's quilt, again FMQ stippling ....<br />

She also asked that I add his crib sheet if possible and I turned it into a block with his name, weight, etc.<br />

A few weeks ago my washer and dryer died within two days of each other and we had to purchase new ones. That pretty well wiped out any money we had put back for Christmas. Last week I was cooking supper we had short-out and near fire in the kitchen stove. In all fairness, I get the stove tearing up because it was nearly 20 years old. We decided to go with a gas range this time. I remember my mom cooking on a gas stove when I was a little girl. My best memories were my sister and I pushing marshmellows onto a fork and roasting them over a tiny open flame on the stove under Mom's watchful eye. Then came electric burners, then ceramic cooktop, which is what I have had until the issue last week. My new gas range came today .... <br />

You now see what my husband and I are getting each other for Christmas, and our 24th wedding anniversary (which is today). I am going to cook a big pot of soup beans (pinto beans or bean soup for those of you who are not from Kentucky) and bake a skillet of cornbread tomorrow to break in my new stove. Hopefully I can practice on it a bit before fixing Christmas dinner next week. Just in making my really quick supper tonight, hot dogs and canned hot dog chili (don't judge me --- I have had a hard week), there are two things I love about this gas stove already. One, when the burner is turned off, the heat is off --- no surface to stay hot for a while. Secondly, I have four burners that I can cook at any level I want, not just two small burners and two large ones like on my electric stove. Anyway, supper is nearly ready :P.
