It’s NOW 45 Years Later

“They” said it Wouldn’t Last !

When a boy meets a girl… And 45 years later… it’s a life of joy, laughter, fun and family. I am blessed with his love. It’s been a fantastic ride in a GORGEOUS WORLD.  It seems like yesterday.  Wedding Quilt Story   Wedding Quilt Book
We were introduced to each other  on a blind date. The first Rocky movie and a pizza. It seems we have been together ever since. Two boys, two daughter-in-laws and those four wonderful Grands. 

We are pretty much together 24/7 and it’s alright with me.  All those years of his career always being first, it’s pretty special to be first now.  There is no one else I would EVER laugh with SO MUCH ! We can do ANYTHING with laughter !

The Wedding Quilt Pattern Book

Every Quilt Has a Story

The Wedding Quilt is my wedding quilt pattern, it’s my Dream Quilt. At the time of our wedding I made all my clothes and had not even thought of making quilts. But after the boys arrived, Husbands job moved us all around and being alone with little ones I found quilting. 

The Quilt Ladies Book Collection
The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt Pattern

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt Pattern Book
Writing The Quilt Ladies books I had one of the Ladies getting married, it was time for MY dream a wedding quilt pattern and that became a Wedding quilt to be designed and made by me. Our wedding colors were Red and White, so this quilt had to be red and white. 

I wanted this/my quilt to be both pieced and applique. At the time of making it I needed a hand applique project to take with me. Sewing all the units as in the quilt pattern and taking the leave blocks along in my bag, hand work as always with me. Included in the quilt pattern is hand appliques instructions, I needle turn my applique and how to use fusible web as your way to add leaves.

The hope had been to hand quilt this quilt top, that didn’t happen, life became complicated and this quilt was long arm quilted. It’s VERY nice, BUT in my heart of hearts…it should be hand quilted by me…just saying.

But, I still sleep under it just perfect and love everything about it.

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt is really my quilt

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt is made up of Twelve, 12” x 12” quilt blocks, each quilt block has stems and applique leaves in each corner. The outside border continues the pieced leaves, applique stems and leaves. Each quilt block is bordered so that quilting can to added with loads of space. This quilt has a finished size of 93” x 78”

National Pizza Day – February 9th

Make, it Order it, Just have Pizza

Or as I like to call it, 
No Cooking Tonight, it’s Ordered!
February Fun Holiday’s

I did a bit of research to why National Pizza Day and I am pretty sure it’s a retail pizza owner started holiday and I love that. 

Something about crust, sauce and cheese ! Add something fresh on top and you have me at hello. Remember, pizza has been around since the 10th century and here in American since 1905. 

National Pizza Day
I’m a white sauce lover !

Most information I found states that you have to have TWO slices to be officially celebrating…and that’s easy ! LOADS of shops in our area have specials, look around, go, eat or make it at home.

Happy National Pizza Day 2023
