The Graduate

Published by Tammom under Family Therapy

My niece (youngest brother’s son daughter – I’m in SO much trouble) is now a high school graduate.  Hurray!  She was named for me, so it’s even more touching.  I’m excited for them, as neither of my brothers graduated from high school – each had one child and both have now graduated.  LOVE that, as the old saying goes, because a parent’s dream is always that their child do better than they did in life.  That dream of mine, for my brothers and their children, has definitely come true.

Ode to the Brother

Stopped at the cemetery to see Mike’s grave yesterday – couldn’t help but leave him a couple of cans of our favorite soda.

On the Road Again…

Published by Tammom under Uncategorized

Packing up and heading to Missouri today with DD#2, to attend my niece’s high school graduation.  3 day drive, 2 days there and 3 days home.  My poor hiney is tired just thinking about it!

Will write more when I have time!

Deep in the Heart of Texas

Published by Tammom under Family Therapy

The son-man woo’ed me with this lovely crooning song on Saturday, as an anniversary gift to me.  He sure knows how to get to his mama’s heart!

Strip Quilting Lesson

I gave a small class on strip quilting at our quilt group last night, and wanted to share some of the fun with you. 

You can download the tutorial I handed out in our class here.

The first lesson was about how to take strips of fabric to make a Nine-Patch block:

The second quick lesson is how to take 2 1/2″ Jelly Roll strips to make a Contemporary Bar Quilt:

Nothing like using an excuse of teaching a class to have more quilt therapy!
