I'm laying in bed thinking about what today will be. I have been awake a little bit, but just can't get going. Maybe today will be a lazy day for me, but I think not. I have too many to dues on my plate right now like: taxes, the ruffle quilt, bulb planting, new tile floor for my kitchen, work, work, work.
Georgia will spend tonight, looking forward to her company. She is so in charge when she is here. I call it Georgia Time, you know like "Georgia On My Mind". She can be so sweet and so energic. She fills my home with joy.
Well I am ready to make this day happen. Thanks for reading my blog.
About Me
- Kathy
- I am married to Steve for 32 years this year. He is definitely my true sole mate. We have a son, Rod, and Rod has a beautiful daughter Georgia, who is my sweetheart. Georgia is five and is in a foreign language institute (FLY) program at her school. The class is is taught in spanish only. She is doing very well and we are all so very proud of her. I seem to be a quilting dreamer these days. So many of life's tasks are keeping me away from my sewing machine. I have at least 4 unfinished quilts that are constantly tugging at me. This is the of the finished quilts.

Vintage Ruffled Sheet Quilt
As some of you may already know my plan to make Georgia a quilt for every birthday until she turns 21. I've been collecting vintage flower patterned sheets to make a ruffled quilt for my Georgia's 5th birthday on May 5th, Cinco de Mayo. We always have so much fun at her birthday party, and yes we seem to favor the theme of the day, margaritas, chips and salsa, BBQ chicken, rice and beans, and a Pinata. Last year I hosted the party at my house with a bounce house. Georgia is already making plans for this years party. She asked me to be thinking about a bounce house and a big cake with flowers and birds on it. I guess I better get with the ruffled quilt pronto or I'll be late again.
When I was in Texas my sister-n-laws both gave me sheets that had belonged to their Mother and Mother-n-law. So these are really vintage. I have some sheets from my Mom too. So I better get busy starting this weekend.

My Life!
Since my Christmas vacation to Texas I have been to Road2CA, Long Beach, and work, work, work. Work is good, my business - Morrison's Silkscreen and Embroidery has been very busy. I can see an increase in the customer traffic. So much so, we are now open on Saturdays to accommodate out-of-towne customers.
Road was so fun. I shared accommodations with three dear friends, and we all took the same 2-day David Taylor: Pictorial Applique. I made some progress with my project during the class, but have not touched it since. My hubby picked me up in Ontario and we finished the weekend in Long Beach at the annual ISS Show for screen printers and embroiderers. We stayed the night on the Queen Mary and had a lovely time. That Saturday night we had dinner at the San Pedro Elks Lodge. It was their fine dinning evening. We had the prime rib dinner with a full view of the harbor as evening set in. We watched a cruise ship take out to sea and it's fire works. Very special evening for us. On Sunday morniwe had had a very delious breakfast in the Promenade Cafe looking out over the Long Beach harbor. The weather in southern California was in the 80's and so enjoyable. We headed home to Hanford and coming down off the grapevine we hit a wall of fog. Ugh! I've been cold ever since.
Two weeks ago I lost quarter-round diamond out of my 6 ct diamond ring and my husband won $2000 at the Hanford Elks Lodge. Can't find the diamond, so we hare replacing the lost diamond and we are going to update the tile floor in the kitchen. I am not looking forward to the mess of taking up the old tile, but the new floor will be so nice.
Yesterday I traveled to Paseo Robles for my sister's grandson's, Dillon, 1st birthday. I traveled with my brother Ernie. We all have a great time. Dillon is so cute and starting to walk. I also delivered my Gramersy Park quilt top to Bobbi Jones, Dillon's other grandmother, who is a long arm quilter. I gave Bobbi full license to quilt my quilt as she felt appropriate.
Today, Steve and I purchased a gas grill and had a very yummy dinner tonight. I have been sitting in my sewing room doing this blog instead of sewing. Maybe the sewing will happen tomorrow.
