Inge's Fantastic Shoe Quilt!!

 

Inge recently finished piecing her fabulous Shoe Quilt!  It's all appliqued by hand and the embellishments she's used are just so creative!  Inge is now enjoying the hand-quilting  process of her beautiful creation!  Way to go, Inge!

 Brings me way back to the seventies, those shoes do!!!

 I'm packing my own shoes right now (or should I say snow-boots?!), as I'm leaving for Canada this weekend for two weeks of cuddling with the grand-children!

This is Ari playing in the yard...yes, it's the top of the kid's swing-set you see here!!  Not sure if my boots are high enough!!!  Apparently, this is the most snow they've received in quite a few winters!!!!

Take care!

In Memory of Robert...

This past Wednesday, a dear friend of mine passed away.  Robert was a wonderful, kind and caring person, always taking the time to talk, laugh and to hear how things were going.  Our families being long-time friends, we basically grew up together.  Karen, his mom, is my god-mother.  

The camping trips, birthday parties, tobogganing outings, all these good memories will stay with me forever.  He was a good friend and although we saw each other less frequently later in life, we always managed to visit when I was in Canada.  This picture is from September, the last time I saw Robert.  

I send my sincerest condolences to all of Robert's family in this sad time.  May time help ease the sorrow of this tragic loss.
