Yesterday I attended a PTQ’s meeting at JoAnne’s house. Here she shows us a small quilt she made using the New York Beauty block pattern. She produced a lovely little quilt with subtle points. It’s like looking out the window at the moon with a glow around it!

Quintens came last evening to cut up a hog.

Ashton mixes the meat with my hem marker!

Kirby’s not too sure about this!

And Stacy was a sweetie punkin pie through out the whole ordeal!

Here we are again. This time with all the in-laws.

We took turns preparing meals. Here’s Kathy serving her “kitchen duty!”

Cousin’s children.

One evening we enjoyed singing together.

Randy & Dorcas

The “Magnolia Melodies” from days gone by!

A guitar player in the making.

How in the world can he play that fast?

Young cousins catching up.

The day’s catch!

… and a Godly New Year.

I’ve just finished making 2 quilt blocks. This “Carpenter’s Wheel” is for Judy.

And this “Cancer Awareness Ribbon” is for Sue.

Paul & his immediate family.

What’s this all about?

A game! Cool Whip & Cheetos Toss!

Now it’s the boys turn to be the targets and the girls get to toss.

And the winner is …

The start of it all, Paul’s Dad & Mom.

Here some of the grandchildren are learning from Grandpa.

We played a lot of games together. Apples to Apples.

Cat & Mice

Masterpiece

Tennis

Making bubbles.

Paul and I had a 2 mile hike.

And more to come later.

Yesterday morning I started out with this stack of fabric.

And before I went to bed around 11:00 this is what I had.

How’s this for little postcard size quilts for Polly’s November 14th birthday

and Barbara’s November 28th birthday?

Today I made that 3-tier coconut candy that my Grandmother Vera used to make around Christmas time. Only I made a green layer instead of the chocolate layer.

Last evening we had all our children home for supper and then invited those from Lloyd Hostetler’s family that were around also.

Here’s Lloyd & Sarah.

Jeff & Faith, Shenaye, & Kelsi.

Phillip & Mary Beth, and Collin.

Stephen & Marilee.

They enjoyed playing Blokus after supper.

Can you guess what this is?

I was so glad for all the “girl” help in the kitchen.
