Fabulous Friday!

I wanted to show you what greets me when I open my front door. It's just breathtaking right now!

This week has been spent getting my Mom taken care of. To the eye Dr. and the Audiologist. He fitted her new hearing aids yesterday and she can hear! What a thrill for her (and us!). A real blessing. We're having Thanksgiving at our house next week and she'll actually be able to participate in the conversation.

Her macular degeneration seems to be getting worse. The Dr. is trying a new drug. Do you know they use chemotherapy to treat it? A shot in the eyeball every few weeks. I guess it beats going blind, yes? My Mom would say it sucks to be 97.

Today's beautiful quilts are from Nanette at Freda's Hive. She does fabulous work and loves vintage stuff. Here are some pics of feedsack quilts she made. I love the red in this snowball with the yellow border.

The little daisy block in this darling piece is from my Daisy Patch pattern. I love how she combined it with other applique blocks!

Here's are some closeups.... I think she bought some of the fabrics from me, too.

Don't you just LOVE the rickrack handle on the teapot?

Thanks so much, Nanette!! I'm sure all of you know that she is a terrific designer and one of the biggest blog stars on the network! If by chance you haven't visited her blog, be sure to do it soon.

Keep sending the pics! I just love seeing and sharing them. Have a great weekend!!

Blessings~

Aw Glenna - How sweet! What a lovely suprise. I'm very honored. Your feedsack pieces are definately in both quilts! These are two of my favorites. The feedsacks speak to me. I can't wait to see a kitchen quilt by you! I have one inside me too - well another one. I've made several. Thank you so much.

I love the gentleness in the feed sack colours you have been showing. However I love the rich reds in your view from your door. :-) Jewel-like.

Great quilt show and tell. That yellow border with the red in the snowballs are so cool.
Good news about your mom's hearing and I hope her eyes get better soon. I can't imagine being 97.
