This is a new original pattern that I designed that will be launched for sale (including the sparkling “JOY”) during the BOMquilts.com Christmas in July Celebration – my vision of the Star of Bethlehem:

Yet Another Medical Mystery Oxymoron
Is it just me, or do you notice the magazine selections in the waiting rooms of doctors? Usually, at the GP, we find both men’s mags and women’s mags … and occasionally something for the kids to read.
If we go to a specialist, we find more specialized magazines, again based on the gender split of the patients.
But, at EVERY. SINGLE. DOCTOR’S. WAITING ROOM. We see money magazines. You know which ones I mean? Forbes is usually at the top of the stack, followed by many others. And then the vacation magazines.
Now, correct me if I’m wrong — but, why in the heck would those of us who are GIVING OUR MONEY to the doctor’s, have any extras to invest or to vacation with?
I’m just sayin’.
Quilting in the Round
I’ve really gotten into this round quilting, lately. And having fun with it, too! Here’s a little shot of my latest creation – I can’t tell you what it’s for, just yet, but I’m sure it’ll excite and amaze you!
Quilt Heart
I’m always talking about my quilt heart. It just seems that everything I see or do reminds me of a quilt – of a way to piece some fabric together to create a warm and comfy oasis of love for someone.
I also notice many quilt patterns that offer little by way of photos of their quilts – big enough photos so you can see the details of the piecing, quilting and embellishing.
I’m hoping to solve that little problem with my new adventure, www.QuiltHeart.com!
This blog site will be a place for myself and other quilt designers and fabric manufacturers to showcase their photographs – in sizes that we should *all* be able to view, with detail!
Go ahead, go take a look at some of the quilt heart photos!
CO 127 U. S. Naval Training Center, Greak Lakes ILL 3 July 1957
While in Missouri a couple of weeks ago, my brother pulled out some old Navy photos of our dad. Although he was out of the service before he met and married our mom, I found it interesting and it piqued my interest enough that I’d like to do some research into his Company, to see what he did and where he went while he was on active duty.
This is a photograph of the damaged company.
This is the text at the bottom of the photograph, parts of which are illegible.
And this is a photo of my very young father, Raymond L. Spencer. The resemblance to a couple of my brothers and my nephew Cody are uncanny.Â
If you have any information about this company, or know how I can get in touch with perhaps some of the veteran’s in the photograph, please leave me a comment.
