A New Project 08/31/12
By Susie Devries
I am learning how to Machine Applique. I got a new sewing machine about 6 weeks ago that has "90 unique built in stitches". It will also machine embroidery letters, numbers, punctuation and symbols. I'm taking a class at our Local Quilt Shop, {LQS} One class every month. Each month is a different block, using different stitches and techniques. When all is said and done, these blocks will make a quilt top 85" x 93"!! That is by far the biggest project I will have attempted yet. To do it all at once would be so intimidating for me, I doubt I'd get far. But doing one block a month will make it much less intimidating for me. I hope it comes out as pretty as I think it will. This was the first block I have done. Its far from perfect, but maybe, with a little luck, I will get better as time goes on. Ya Think?

I thought you might like to see the latest pictures of the house. It's coming along, but we are still 6 or 8 weeks from the finish line. Still it's beginning to look like a home.

Summer Is Over 08/20/12
By Susie Devries
Summer is over, today is Autumn's first day of 1st Grade. Wow, how is that possible? It has been a horrible hot summer and thankfully Mother Nature finally decided to be nicer to us and give us double digits that begin with 8 instead of triple digits!! What a nice change.

Palm Springs Tram 08/01/12
By Frank
Our grand daughter Lauren (age 17) has been visiting for the last few days out here with us in the desert. She has had a great time swimming, cooking, shopping with Carol and reading. Yesterday she and I took the Palm Springs Tramway from the desert floor to the top of the lower mountains for the day.
