Quilts and Amaryllis

Well, Welshcake has been at it hard lately. She has been working on a Vicksburg Civil War Quilt. It was made from fabric she collected on her trip to Pennsylvania in 2008. Tonight she got it back from Lynn, who did the machine quilting.


Note the cute corner piecing.


She also put 2 Amaryllis plants in jars at Christmas time. Meet Slowpoke and Bloomer. It has been fun watching them put so much energy into growing and blooming. Bloomer has 5 blossoms already. Note the top of the jar in the second picture.

Slowpoke took a long time deciding if it was worth the effort to grow, but now is growing about 1/2 inch a day with 3 separate stems. She will be pink.

New Year's

We spent New Year's with the Taylors. It was a great time. In addition to just visiting, we were invited to a concert. I'm not sure of the band's name, but they were GOOD. Kinda "country". Let me introduce you to the band.

Lead vocals and drummer.

The drummer was in his own world.
















After the concert, we got to mingle with the vocalists. They had changed into street clothes, but were still real knockouts.
