This is what I remember...<br />
*Spent the afternoon at my parents painting a ceramic nativity (that I still use every Christmas) trying to distract myself from all the tightening my giant , huge belly was doing.<br />
* Took Bobby dinner, and sat at the gas station he was working at, and visited for awhile.<br />
*Back to the trailer park we lived in (Behind the Pine Cone Inn , Prescott, AZ) Still feeling tightening and thinking it was not like the Braxton Hicks that Id been feeling for several weeks.<br />
*Bobby came home late... he worked till 10 or 11 ( I think- it was a long time ago :) )<br />
* Not being able to sleep, so frustrated because that belly just kept waking me up, back pain and shooting pains down my legs, was it time to have a baby?<br />
* Tried to wake Bobby up around midnight-ish and he would NOT wake up! So I walked about 60 yards (I think it was at least a mile but Bobby said 50 or 60 yards) to the pay phone so I could call my parents. Dad said to drive by the house (on the way to the hospital) so he would know I got Bobby to wake up. If he didn't hear the truck he would come over.<br />
* Bobby kept leaving the hospital room- he was looking pretty pale. I think the green scrubs he was required to wear didn't help. So a nurse kept bringing him back in.<br />
* Squeezing my Mom and Bobby's hands so hard they turned blue.<br />
*The Dr Duncan saying "It's a boy" and seeing the huge grin on Bobby's face.<br />
* The nurse handing me that very beautiful, chubby cheeked, dark haired, dark eyed baby boy.<br />
* I cried, and Bobby asked if I wanted another one... without hesitation , I said "Yes".<br />
* Christopher Robert was born at 9:24 am, 7 lb 1 oz, 20 1/2 inches long<br />
<br />
That blessed day changed our lives. We were responsible for another tiny life, it was exciting and overwhelming. Everything we did was for our family. No more you or me...<br />
Bobby had 2 jobs, I was in Beauty school, we rented a trailer for 175$ a month, I drove a brown and black '69 Opel Cadet and Bobby had an old big white truck.<br />
It was the best September 14th of my life.<br />
I love you , Son... Thank you for the wonderful son, husband and father that you are and for everything I learned, the last 30 years, being your Mom.<br />

I think on day 4, I had a bit of a melt down... not for me, but the riders... they were so tired, no sleep, eating habits totally disrupted, stuck in a cramped vehicle in sweaty clothes , and pushing their bodies past the breaking point.... and there was nothing the crew could do to help but words of encouragement... it was so frustrating and inspiring at the same time. I can't even imagine how they felt. And they rocked it, they were awesome!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Next time I hope to keep up on the blog even if its just a sentence a day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">For this time, this will have to do.

The whole idea is to make the colors go from very pale in the center to dark on the edges without a distinct line. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It took my friend Kellie and I about 5 or 6 hours of jurying different fabrics to come up with this combination. Unfortunately it isn't perfect- dang it! The outside ones are pretty good, but the lighter blues needed more texture and a bit more color variation to "bloom" properly. The hardest part of the quilt is choosing the fabrics!</div><div style="text-align: center;">In the picture it looks almost pixelly in the center, thank goodness it doesn't as much so in person. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I quilted it with an all over flower pattern ( I watched a lady do it at the quilt show on a demo machine) with a yellow and blue variegated thread. I think the thread was Signature... The back is an all over small blue, yellow and white daisy pattern. </div><div style="text-align: center;">All in all I'm happy with the way it turned out. Can't wait to use it on my bed!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Perfect for spring!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTtGojCMMYdsQlc5JXJvHoPbqXT9HMtT4tRHMRggY_mRnb5J7-Pr6c0v32Ns9SFX0TEeKJTofnrruhNVQkrGLRLta3ZBL7bOCzf7KgbgPl3phx2NYliQj0G8TvQv2fpa37yY1uJRPFm74/s1600/IMG_1988.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTtGojCMMYdsQlc5JXJvHoPbqXT9HMtT4tRHMRggY_mRnb5J7-Pr6c0v32Ns9SFX0TEeKJTofnrruhNVQkrGLRLta3ZBL7bOCzf7KgbgPl3phx2NYliQj0G8TvQv2fpa37yY1uJRPFm74/s320/IMG_1988.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454628313301984450" /></a>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05779407025504931465noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7223435552321367464.post-35991183573919912972010-03-20T17:50:00.001-07:002010-03-20T18:05:49.551-07:00T-shirt quilt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmoUw_hFR7u37RQKQuNcWKAU12I0uzoYfKxW2sv62fI-iTNulkSpZ1TCp0DLoG0v7M7hl9GqmAQ2ReZudUxrtQGs7V_B2Yl5wbTj3iCcHG6Dhvit5NJ0gIv8o_NHvPoWSxWPyKsLmZ2rA/s1600-h/IMG_1951.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmoUw_hFR7u37RQKQuNcWKAU12I0uzoYfKxW2sv62fI-iTNulkSpZ1TCp0DLoG0v7M7hl9GqmAQ2ReZudUxrtQGs7V_B2Yl5wbTj3iCcHG6Dhvit5NJ0gIv8o_NHvPoWSxWPyKsLmZ2rA/s320/IMG_1951.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450883701692194642" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I finished this quilt this week. All the shirts belong to my daughter-by-marriage, Kati. She has enough left for 2 more about the same size- its just about twin sized. These were just the soccer shirts! Denim on the back with an all over swirl quilt design, dark yellow on the back and white on the front. It will be great for picnics and camping as its very sturdy. Had trouble with skipped stitches, tried using a ball point needle, a 14 and a 16 but it didn't really matter which I used, got the same result. Very frustrating :/</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did one for Chris a few years ago, when he graduated from college, but it disappeared at a soccer game, hopefully one day it will find its way back home.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also finished quilting and sewing the binding on my blooming 9 patch but the handwork isn't done yet. Will post a pic when the binding is done.</div>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05779407025504931465noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7223435552321367464.post-73739092855293944032010-03-15T23:16:00.000-07:002010-03-16T01:01:09.894-07:00Charity Card class-RAAM-Team Donate life- Connors HopeSeveral months ago I received an email from Bobby with the link to Connors blog (www.connorsjourney.com).

However, Bobby is now scaring me with stories of sleep deprivation, few showers, bugs , humidity, a week of bad hair days, and spending 7 -8 days driving cross country at 10-20 mph with a bunch of people I don't know- one of them (Connors Mom ,Tiffany) was Mrs. CA- ya..I know right..a beauty queen..me- bad hair-flat stuck to my head and no makeup for a week with a beauty queen... getting anxiety thinking about it!

Crazy! It doesn't seem like that long...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Anniversary to the love of my life. No it hasn't been easy, as a matter of fact sometimes its been a lot of work, however I cannot imagine my life without this man. He "gets" me, doesn't mean he understands me all the time :), but he "gets " me. I admire and appreciate his calm leadership skills , his ability to see the good in everyone and see beyond "now", his dedication to work, church/Heavenly Father, family, biking, family, friends and me. I love this man more than I ever dreamed possible 29 years ago.

Its great- colors of gold and purple with different Viking things on it, football field and football, football helmet, viking head... She made it for her husband for Christmas. The work and design into this was amazing. She loosely , very loosely followed a pattern and then went her own way with it. Several of the sections took many, many hours of work. I did a meander with gold thread, and then white thread on the white blocks. The toughest part were the small star sections, so many seams in a small space made for some skipped stitches. That on top of the fact that its made from batiks- which have a higher heavier thread count that regular quilting fabric- made it a real booger to quilt.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Im sure she and her DH will have a fun time snuggling under it for their Vikings games :)</div>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05779407025504931465noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7223435552321367464.post-32079716431521266222010-03-05T09:01:00.000-08:002010-03-09T22:55:28.013-08:00Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!<div style="text-align: center;">A couple years ago Alli & Kyle went to NY and saw Mary Poppins. It was Allis favorite of all time. When it came to Gammage, we got together with Kyles family and got a load of tickets.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Gotta love the group rate!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Before the show we met at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant for dinner. Chris and Kati were running late so they met us at Gammage, Derek had class so he met us after a couple of the acts.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our waiter was awesome! The perfect Greek waiter, accent was perfect, and his name was Nicco...lol! We gave him a hard time and he threw it back- especially with Steven, it was great! Steven asked what it meant when they break a plate- he said it was commemorating the dead- so a little while later Steve asked if he could break a plate- Nicco said sure, Steve asked if he would break one with him... And he did! It was great and we were all yelling "Opa!" They even lit something on fire during the breaking for us.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then off to the play, which was also great! My favorite was the Supercalifragilistic song (its on Utube- go watch it!). The sets were amazing, so different from the movie- but very much like the book. Music was fabulous...love, love , loved it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyNEmBj2EkQatiaGUb7XS9oQ2A902-6i8LWxSUW2X_Z_cdfoWE7lFPjPaCcYvhyphenhypheneTFrEp8pJkZvhunqVYh7F9B3fM2ge4-XnMtnqrCTDfIQY6VNeHX0P8S7dmRufdbpDnlQta-wku7A3Y/s1600-h/IMG_1821.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyNEmBj2EkQatiaGUb7XS9oQ2A902-6i8LWxSUW2X_Z_cdfoWE7lFPjPaCcYvhyphenhypheneTFrEp8pJkZvhunqVYh7F9B3fM2ge4-XnMtnqrCTDfIQY6VNeHX0P8S7dmRufdbpDnlQta-wku7A3Y/s320/IMG_1821.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446885805181614370" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">The dinner crowd- Brittany, Jolene (Happy Birthday!)

She turned 1 on Wednesday, so this is another "better late than never".<br />The fabric is Sandy Gervias by Moda from several years ago, the pattern is from the book "Even more quilts for baby". The original pattern has 6 blocks- I prefer square rather than long so I added 3 more blocks and did the yellow piano keys border rather than a plain one. Quilted every other pk, and then stitch in the ditch the center. Its a bit wrinkly from setting in the dryer :/<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLlM8_3RhU2yfezgJ_h5tAMI2FKikOoH7PieTJKG1BDiyodTeyjgG7XJwzIVKqDwHIvjiCQXp7jdazV7lRAhBLcar83OOQHsQROkJTNKf6FeNkH-DdHKkIgFi3yeHKnuGRboziC6tyzmo/s1600-h/IMG_1667.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLlM8_3RhU2yfezgJ_h5tAMI2FKikOoH7PieTJKG1BDiyodTeyjgG7XJwzIVKqDwHIvjiCQXp7jdazV7lRAhBLcar83OOQHsQROkJTNKf6FeNkH-DdHKkIgFi3yeHKnuGRboziC6tyzmo/s320/IMG_1667.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426790055203745234" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQvXzU5BjuDf_fQOuaRWORvcJYsIC9DT59VfToV8KhnAjuo-iL1ziC0Oi64zXyqi5VvCW5Fz0oIvLPNiqoNOZ1AsJq0m8v107Q2r_jH9jsrtdaPQmACFnMi9jdLZnduUW0JccBaRNHmxE/s1600-h/IMG_1668.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQvXzU5BjuDf_fQOuaRWORvcJYsIC9DT59VfToV8KhnAjuo-iL1ziC0Oi64zXyqi5VvCW5Fz0oIvLPNiqoNOZ1AsJq0m8v107Q2r_jH9jsrtdaPQmACFnMi9jdLZnduUW0JccBaRNHmxE/s320/IMG_1668.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426789329665573026" border="0" /></a>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05779407025504931465noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7223435552321367464.post-72212579971449001662010-01-05T00:20:00.000-08:002010-01-05T00:37:41.296-08:00Better late than never?<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5nC87AhjPSqosAfF-t4tCc8daIdGeTAPWotCSCEMDDbn0yZVZiMcq-3vyAWh7nOhp2DEzeSstaxKt_CX8OmQnm4MRLSfg4-Y09LB3IsZwOJi0IqqRdTVYSmU64xXgCQZrdHV54vyK3no/s1600-h/IMG_1651.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 159px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5nC87AhjPSqosAfF-t4tCc8daIdGeTAPWotCSCEMDDbn0yZVZiMcq-3vyAWh7nOhp2DEzeSstaxKt_CX8OmQnm4MRLSfg4-Y09LB3IsZwOJi0IqqRdTVYSmU64xXgCQZrdHV54vyK3no/s320/IMG_1651.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423168297578966562" border="0" /></a>I started this table runner before Thanksgiving. Of course it didn't get finished, until now. I was packing up some of the fall decorations I got while at Allisons last week (they had a screaming sale on Fall decorations at Alco) and thought I might as well finish the table runner and pack it up also. Unfinished projects make me crazy! And until I was a "quilter" I always, always finished a project before starting a new one. Well, a quilter has many "irons in the fire" :/ It may go back to that "so many patterns/fabric so little time". Every year I want to get unfinished projects (UFO) done before starting new ones. Then the fabric manufacturers come out with some amazing new design or block of the month (BOM) that is crying out to live in my sewing room. *sigh*<br />At least this one is done, and next Thanksgiving it will be great to have it done for the table :) Better late than never, right?<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05779407025504931465noreply@blogger.com1
