Hello on this kinda sunny Sunday!

Of course I don't think it will be sunny for long. We are suppose to get(last I heard 4-6)inches of snow. Yipee..I love it but my dear hubby don't.. I just tell him "it will only be here for a little while, spring will be coming soon". It's suppose to start around  midnight...I'm staying up to watch it snow....  :)

Many thanks to those of you that stop by to read about my busy and somewhat crazy life. I came to my blog to post and saw that I had comments...Yipeee I was am excited.  I love reading blogs, expecially the ones that make you feel like you are right there visiting (quilting or knitting) with them.

Thanks so much

About the pictures of the tree carvings:

Not sure of the road number but when you leave Carter Caves Park entrance and make a right towards Grayson,Ky they are just a little ways down the road and on the right. Sorta neat I think!

Ok, now to somthing quilty-
I have put the prairie points on the John Deer quilt. Now to decide to add binding or just turn under the back edge and sew..Which shall I choose? I'm just not sure, but I need to get it completed so I can move on..
Oh, I have forgotten to tell you about something very important to me.........I am getting a long arm machine. It is used but I am tickled!! :)  Suppose to get it on the 19th or 20 if it don't snow.. That is one time I don't want it to. Not until I get my machine home. 
Do I need to name it? I have given my featherweights names. One is Olivia, the other is Rebekah. I always wanted  daughters and those were the names that I loved. But God gave me 2 sons that I love and I am thankful for them, and the wonderful grandkids that they have given me.
Well I have gone from quilting to grandkids. Not so bad now is it. My 2 favorite topics..
Gonna go and try to get something accompished today.
Have a great day and hope you get some quality quilting time to yourself..
Until next time...................... 

Will I ever learn to post blogs...

I posted my last 2 blog posts backwards. Will I ever learn? I am thinking

NOT :(

More pics

One of our adventures out into the snow in the park.

Hubby and I saw this on our way from Carter Caves to Grayson, Ky. Isn't it neat. Both of these carvings are in trees right along the side of the road. So neat. We saw one and then when we were on our way back and stopped to take a picture we noticed the other. I thought they were awsome. Someone done a great job. 

Carter Caves State Park, Carter County, Kentucky

Well it has been a busy week. Friday Feb. 5th, hubby and I left to go to Carter Caves State Park. Spent the night.  We woke up on Saturday to about 5 inches of snow. It was beautiful. Snow laying on the pine trees and the limbs of the trees. I think that is the most beatiful scenery in the whole world.

I think this is where one of the

park caretakers live.  Everyone was

so nice here at the park.

This is just a pic in the park.

Chief quilt

This is a chief quilt made by my brother-in-law. It is awsome. He made this and sent it to my hubby as a surprise. Hubby loves it. My brother-in-law loves quilting. He took up quilting when he became disabled due to sevier back problems. He makes lap throws and donates 2-3 each week, to the nursing home in his hometown. Those throws are greatly appreciated. He received a thank you from one of the residents. I think that made his day.
One never knows just how something we do, be it large or small, will be a blessing to someone else.

Quilt (quilted)

John Deer quilt is quilted and ready for the prairie points. I will post a pic of it here as soon as I get it completed.  I have another baby project in progress. It is coming along quite well. Will post pics of it soon.
Weatherman says snow is coming on Friday and I am suppose to be going to a quilt show at Carter Caves State Park in Carter County Ky. I just hope I get there before it snows. Maybe we will get there and get snowed in..Yippppeeeeee!!
