Granny

Here is Granny pinning a quilt.

She used 3 pins that day instead of her usual one safety pin.


Then my daddy helped her roll the quilt and get it ready to go on the sewing machine.


The zeal this woman has is unreal! She is such an example to me!

Granny told my Dad that her stool was getting wobbly again.

He has already used wood glue on it and it didn't work so

he wired it together. Its not going anywhere now.


I was kind of worried about Granny falling off of it but it looks sturdy now.

I really don't see how she sits on this and sews as much as she does.

She doesn't want to sit on anything else though.


And here she is back at it. She will "fellowship" when someone comes in for a few minutes and then she will get up and say she has to get back at it. She is so funny. Did I ever tell you about the man from church that came to visit and she kept looking at me asking me when he was leaving. The thing is she would say it outloud. He is in his 90's too though so I am hoping he didn't hear her. She is not trying to be rude......she just loves sewing.

Granny always pulls those strings from the needle and the bobbin and keeps them very long. She has a fear of losing those threads.

Isn't she the sweetest thing?
This is the last time that I was over there.

My plans are to visit her tomorrow so I will have more pictures of her soon.

This is the baby quilt and burp cloths that I sent Martha!

She gave me such a compliment by wanting a baby quilt made by me.

She actually wanted to pay me for it. So sweet. But then I thought to myself how fun it would be to do a swap. She is a knitter so see I had myself in mind. She is working on my scarf and I can't wait to see it. It was so much fun to do this.

Look at all these gifts from Julie!

I was having a "down" day yesterday but when I got home from work this box was waiting on me at my door. Julie had apologized for taking so long to mail this but little does she know but this gift was right on time. It lifted my spirits. You will never know what this meant to me. Can you all see that word FAITH? Boy do I need to look at that again and again! Sometimes I feel so weak but the good thing is HE is strong. If you have not visited Julies blog, you need to. She is an encourager and a prayer warrior and a great friend to me.

Thank you Julie!
