Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real

Pretty


Lizzie wanted a wall hanging quilt to act like a bed header. So, I told her that if she got the fabric, I'd make it for her. This is what she's picked out so far. I'm looking for solid, dark brown fabric for the rest.






Happy



A few weeks ago, the semminarian the church supports came to visit and do a church service. He and his wife play Settlers of Cataan, and so we had to play it. Mrs. Badenhop apparently has played it once before, but she's won both times. Nobody can figure out why.

Funny


That's Arane. She (and Lizzie and Justin, but they don't count :P) came to visit for a while. They live right on the edge of Hurricane Sandy, so they stayed for a little longer until they were sure that there'd be power. But Arane's sprout (pony-tail) is really funny.


"License is required for any use beyond individual consumption" So, if I want to eat the cloth, I have to get permission from Scuffy's owners? Shucks.


Real

I got these from a quilting store about half an hour away. It's the Scuffy the Tugboat cloth that the Funny came off of.


Mom is holding this up.


It's supposed to be used to make a book, but there're enough of those panels that I can use them in two different quilts. (They're really big panels.)

Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real

I keep forgetting to do this.

Lizzie, Justin, Arane, and Grandma came over for a while over the past two weeks. Lizzie and Justin were planning on staying for only a week, but they were right on the tail edge of Sandy, so they decided to stay a while longer.

Happy



This is a quilt for the lady who had our car when it exploded. Hopefully she'll be happy to get it.

Funny




That's what happens in a house where everybody knows or is learning Greek. It says says, "udroxlorothias loratadin" (Dad's medicine" and "bon ami".

("And they used Bon Ami!")

Real


That's Lizzie, Mom, Arane, Grandma, and I on the front porch. That's an awful lot of us.
