BOGO Weekend from A Ditchin' Time Quilts
Here I am taking it easy under the tree shade!Enjoyed a weekend away with my husband in Pennsylania at a BOGO rally. You ask me what is a BOGO? Let me tell you.....It is the "Brotherhood/Babes Of Grabber Orange" Mustangs. I had no idea how many grabber orange mustangs there were around. I don't see many in our travels around town on a daily basis. Ford made mustangs in this color in 1979 and did a remake 2007 thru 2009. The Grabber Blue in 2010. There is no data from Ford how ... -

Inside front
Inside back coverGreat news for Kevin. His MRI shows degenerative Arthritis and bone spurs on the spine that are causing all his pain. Fortunately no herniated disc.

Human Taco from A Ditchin' Time Quilts
Kevin became a human taco last night. It was bad that he was in pain but quite comical that he had to be carried out of our house in an orange plastic sheet. The fireman were called because I had to get him the ER and I could not carry him myself. He could not stand and he could not walk or sit. There was no way I was doing it myself. The fireman said don't worry, we will carry him out of the house and then place him on a stretcher. They showed Kevin the orange sheet and ... -
Little Scrap Purse from A Ditchin' Time Quilts

These lanywards are made by cutting the width of the fabric and then shortening it to fit the length I need. These pieces on the side of the purse are the leftover ends of these lanyards. My mom and I have been making them for the nurses at work and therefore had tons of ends.
Here is a close up of the scraps sewn onto the purse.I bought alot of these fabrics at Hancocks of Paducah when I was there ... -
Wednesday Weigh-In Week 5 from A Ditchin' Time Quilts
Welcome to Wednesday Weigh-In Week 5!This week I lost the pound I gained last week. I don't really know how I did it because I didn't do much walking. I worked every night since Friday night. Each night it has been a 12 hr shift. My schedule consists of getting home around 8:30 am and getting to bed by 9:30 in the morning. Waking up at 5pm and leaving for work by 6pm. Doing that over and over again for 5 nights in a row and again tonight will make 6 in a row. I ... -
Dale's Tail...please vote! from A Ditchin' Time Quilts
This is my Golden Retriever named DaleHis coat is gorgeous! During the summer we trim him because he likes to swim in the river behind our house daily. Last summer, I spent a couple of hundreds dollars taking him to the groomer for a trim. This year I decided to do it myself. I definately did it too short and I am no pro, but it will grow and in the next few weeks it will be just like the groomer did it. Take a look at the results.
Video of me shaving poor Dale! Funny!

Bathroom Redecoration Project from A Ditchin' Time Quilts
This is my mom's new bathroom. This is the house I grew up in and it has to be about 43 years old. She did a great job remodeling and redecorating! I have been talking about it because I have posted previously about making a quilt to match her wall. I just love the bathroom and thought I would share it with everyone. I love the colors she picked and the wainscoating adds such a cute addition.
Here is the bathroom finished.
Love the lamp she made to hang over the sink.
We painted this lamp and then added ... -
Paul moves into his Apartment from A Ditchin' Time Quilts
Eutaw Place in Bolton Hill, Baltimore near MICAThis is my son's new apartment in Baltimore. Yesterday he moved into an apartment on the 4th floor of this huge brownstone in Bolton Hill. He will be starting his Sophmore year at MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) and there are not enough dorms for the 2000 students that attend the school. They have a lottery system for the upper classman but gaurantee the Freshman a dorm room. With this in mind we had to find off campus housing for him within walking distance. This is only 3 blocks away ... -
Wednesday Weigh-In Week 3 from A Ditchin' Time Quilts

The flower is simply gathered fabric fringed on the edge and secured with a covered button
Shopping BagThis is my new bag made from my mom's old bed skirt. She is in the process of redecorating her bathroom and bedroom. I made her the YoYo quilt to go into her bathroom but she also had this bedskirt that she didn't want anymore. It has yards and yards of fabric because it was a queen bed. I turned this bedskirt into a shopping bag and I just love it. It was a little big at first but when ... -
