Pictures, and the crazyness

Hello All,
What a funny time of life! So much going on!
New Job, well not a new job, just a new place to do the same thing.
Recent loss of family member, with a quick trip home to be with my family.
I found out yesterday that i will be a Grandmother in February!

I took a few pictures of my daughter and I while we were travelling.
And, we grabbed a day at Disneyland!
Here are the pics!

This is Kathy

This is me.

Hopefully sometime this week I will get a chance to actually quilt that quilt, I practiced a bit, and decided that I will start with a stitch in the ditch approach.

That should be fine for the first one. :)

I also cook...

So the other day, OK it was last week. I got the bountiful basket and it had Swiss Chard in it. So to the computer I went, and looked up what to do with it. I do this often since expanding my vegetable purchases through the Bountiful Basket. I found many recipes, and decided to cut it and cook it with Italian seasonings and Bacon! Man it turned out so good it was all consumed right away. Here is a picture of it on a plate, Thank You Cindy!

I recommend participating in The Bountiful Basket program. It is a fantastic deal, and it expands the palate!

Pictures!

Hi all!
I figured out that I don't have to try to upload photos from my phone of my FINISHED quilt top! I have a camera in my computer. Duh! Anyhow, I have to say this has been really fun, and I am looking forward to my first quilting experience! I will be machine quilting. I have a new Singer, and I am so very happy with it!
Now to figure out how to upload the pictures to the Blog!

 These pics are the first I took, not great on the color.

 These ones show the color better, and some of the detail.

I am pleased with my first try at this fun new craft. I bought "minky" in black for the back, I am hoping that it is not too challenging to machine quilt!

I plan to practice a bit before trying it out

Later today, after work I will be basting this with safety pins. I welcome any and all comments!

When I was choosing fabric I didn't think the orange would POP quite so much. The floral was the "base" that I used to select the other fabrics.
