Making Applebutter at Granddaddys

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:01:51 GMT

Dad and Mom (Cline) have made apple butter
a family tradition throughout the years.

Dad's shed makes a wonderful place for this family gathering. We can play corn-whole...

stay warm...

even when it is snowing. Pam is bringing us more apples.

Christian taking a nap while....

others work.

Cousins always like to play games.

Who could Rebecca be texting with that smirk on her face?

Time for the men folks to get a bite to eat.
Mom always serves her wonderful vegetable soup.

Kelsy and Autumn having fun.

Time to take off the apple butter.

The older crew with the finished product.

The younger crew having a ball.

The children had a barn party. Autumn and Melissa dressed up as
Thing I and Thing II who are the characters in a Dr. Seuss book.

Benjamin dressed up as a smurf.

Rebecca dressed up as a bubble gum machine.

What fun I had on Saturday. I was privileged to do a fundraiser for the Virginia Quilt Museum.

Folks could meander through the house visiting all rooms where quilts were on display.

Pinwheel Spin

Whirling Stars

Quilts in hallways,

back porch,

walls,

bedrooms

and even in bathrooms.

Explosion of Sunflowers was displayed on the front of the wood shed.

Power Play was on the clothes line.

Glowing Splendor was on the front porch.

Sawtooth Digest

and Star Shuffle were in a tree.

And this is what you saw when you came in our back door.

My back door is always my front door where my family and friends are always welcome.

I didn't show you all the quilts but maybe I can do another open house some day.
My dear husband parked cars and made people feel welcome and directed them where to go.

Open House of Quilts

Tue, 18 Oct 2011 19:22:05 GMT

Just a sneak preview on the quilts to be shown on Saturday for the Quilt open house.

"Diamond Chain" featured on the front cover of "Star Struck Quilts"

Work in progress.

Memories
This picture brings back good childhood memories. Picture taken outside the door where I grew up. My brother Oren Jr and I played in these woods and climb to the "Big Rock" many times

Another memory is swimming in the river. The tree on the left I would crawl up so no one would throw me in the river. Other memories were jumping and diving out of trees, play on inter-tubes, skipping rocks, catching cray fish and seeing how far I could swim under water.

October

Last weekend my good friend and co-worker, Linda invited me to join her at the Extra Ordinary Women's Conference in Lynchburg.

We had a lot of fun and were inspired by well known Christian artists. In the end we got to see and hear Sarah Palin.

Here are a few of the Quilters Guild of the Bluegrass ladies in Lexington Ky. who took my class Chinese Checkers this summer. It is always a delight to see finished quilts.

Carla is working on "Star Spin" quilt at Patchwork Plus.

Autumn has done a lot of the mowing this summer. I am amazed at how fast the yard can be mowed with the zero turn.

Benjamin and Autumn tuning up.

Next weekend I will be doing an open house in my home for the Virginia Quilt Museum.

On Saturday, October 22, 1-4 pm I will open my home for a show
of quilts. There will be quilts that have been featured at the
Paducah Quilt Show, Quilt Odyssey, Mid-Atlantic and Hoffman
Challenge as well as quilts from my book “Star Struck
Quilts.” The tour includes refreshments and
the cost is $15 per person. Call the VQM at 540-433-3818 or email them at info@vaquiltmuseum.org

I am changing from xanga to quiltingal.blogspot.com/ for my blog. I will be keeping both sites for a period of time.
