Today I am 63 years old and am very happily enjoying good health! This is my favorite recent picture of myself doing what I love to do; buying fabrics for quilts!
The wind and rains have stripped most of the trees naked of leaves, but I got a few pretty colors in the yard.
Last night, we got a big surprise when the whole house rumbled a shook for a few seconds at 7:15pm. The day had been very windy and we wondered if a tree limb had fallen on, or near the house. Felix ran downstairs to check on our furnace, too. We called Al & June, our next door neighbors, who had felt it too. They had been listening to the radio and thereby knew that it was an earthquake. A 4.6 earthquake in New England??? Wow! Now that is very rare.
The other adventure was that Felix borrowed my 1989 Mercury Marquis to go to the auto parts store for tail light bulbs. The joke was on him when he came out of the parts store and my car refused to start! Because he is our home mechanic, we don't use triple A and so we needed a tow job from Farmington. $125 dollars later, my car was safely home but unrepaired. Now I get to use his car to go to Sew & Sews today, ya think?
Here is the booty that I bought for my birthday presents!
Above is two Independence Trail blues by Moda with a Jo Morton poison green.
And this grouping is all half yard cuts by various designers, prairie moon by Kansas Troubles, A William Morris print, and a wonderfully rich indigo by Sturbridge Village Judie Rothermel of Marcus Brothers. What a fabric snob I have become!!! LOL!
Enjoy your day!
