Daddy's Quilts & His New Sewing Cabinet

Daddy has a very small house and he was trying to find a place to store all
of the quilts he is making.  Looks like he found the perfect place.
All of these quilts are for sale along with the ones in the sidebar marked "Daddy's Quilts".
Each quilt is 60.00 plus shipping.

Daddy had to do some rearranging in his house
 to make room for his new sewing cabinet that he bought.
He is even moving pictures around.
This frame is all of Granny.  I made that for him when she left us.
Right behind that little lamp is the framed poem  "Granny's Perfect Quilts" that was written by
Marlene about the quilt she purchased from Granny.  If you haven't read it, go to my sidebar and look for it.  I LOVE it.

Look at Daddy's new sewing cabinet!
He is so proud of it!

He opened it all up for me to show me how it works.
This is definitely a space saver.
See his caps up on top?
My Dad was in the Navy and has been looking for Navy hats.
He found 2. One of them says Navy Veteran on it.
He loves them.  When I was a baby he was in the Navy.
Thanks Dad for your service.

He is so very proud of it! 
He hasn't put his machine in it yet but
he is working on it. 
Then it's back to sewing quilts for Daddy!
Just let me know if you want to purchase one of Daddy's quilts.
Sewing has made him so happy.
This is truly a gift from Granny and the Lord.

Today I am thankful for......
the birds singing outside my window!

Beautiful quilts and a fabulous cabinet. John loves to collect hats and proudly displays his in his office. I am thankful for your dad's service also and I am thrilled that he found the Navy Vet cap.

I would love to see a close-up picture of the one your Daddy is holding of your Granny. When I make this one larger, her pictures are a blur. I enjoy your blog so much !

What a lovely sewing cabinet! That will keep things so nicely organized for him. It's so nice that he has gotten into quilting, it is such a good hobby. I just sent one to the quilters and now am working on a Christmas one, I think it's going to be really pretty!

How nice of them to come in and tidy up your home while you were away. Can you send them up here?!!!

My dad is also a Navy veteran, as was my grandpa. My brother is in the Air force and so was my father-in-law. My brother-in-law is too. We are just a "military" family. I always wanted my husband to go in but it just never worked out.
