Pleased with the finish, even if it is a little wonky.

my Great Granddaughter who rarely smiles for the camera but I love the look on her little face. Is she saying,

“ I will smile when you put the camera down”

    Oh....that face is too precious!!!!

    I just did the same thing on a quilt that I have been working on. Grr!!! Isn't it frustrating?

    The quilt looks beautiful.

    I am sure a lot of folks in the heat would appreciate your cooler temps.

    Sometimes I forget you are cold when we are hot! Pretty day! I use a chalk pin to mark my lines, makes it easier for me to get a straighter line. She is adorable and growing like a weed!!!!

    OOOO MAN! Those pictures are priceless. That looks like the PERFECT walk to me ! IF ONLY???? DH and I went to the park two years ago and when you walk there it is along side a pretty river. But now we cannot afford to do that because of the drastic increase in gas prices. POOOOOOOO!

    It's a good thing I cannot "time - travel" I would "warp" right over and walk with you!

    What a beautiful quilt !

    AAAAWWWWHHH - I love baby pictures! Isn't she just so precious!!!!!!
