| A little sew along |
 |
| Some of my favorite blogs have sewalongs from time to time, I like to join in because they are usually a small project I can do in a few sittings that give me a break from my larger UFO's that can take months or even years. Like a little side trip when you are a longer journey. Lori at Humble quilts just had one I really enjoyed, The group that sewed along are having their linky party, come have a look and maybe next time join in the fun. And while I am tooting my own horn I'll share this over at " Crazy Mom Quilts" too. Happy Sewing, Kim |

| 1968 Rest in peace dear brother. My brother died yesterday 5-30-15 after a long and brave battle. He leaves behind his wife, two children and one special granddaughter, and his parents in law, many nephews and nieces, great nephews and nieces along with his siblings, sisters and brother in law, and friends. He was a fine man, served in Vietnam, retired from the Air Force and retired from his second career. You will be missed by so many, may God welcome you with open arms. |
