"In My Father's House Are Many Mansions"

... and that's the title of the song and my quilt. Thank you for all the guesses at what song I was trying to depict. They were all good. I especially liked how Martha picked "We're Marching On to Zion, ... the Beautiful City of God," and then that song kept ringing in her mind all day long!
I had a goal of getting all the fusing finished by Monday, and now I've even done more than that. I think it's ready to quilt.

Stitching through Heat & Bond, Steam-a-Seam, and Wonder Under gummed up my needle, but I kept plugging away.

Amy's Creative Side


I took care of Georgi one day at the office. She is a full time job, let alone trying to do office work.

Georgi's umbrella reminds me of Sally in the Dick & Jane Readers.


Amy & Ashton fixing treats for the Girls Club.



Paul's sister, Miriam, was surprised when we showed up for her birthday.


It was a chilly evening and the fire felt good.


Those soft brown marshmallows were free for the taking and oh, sooooo good!


Miriam was tickled with her bicycle that Kenneth gave her. She brought it into the house so the rain wouldn't spoil it.


Recent guests in our home were Jerrel & Paula with Nic & Micah.


The Grabers wanted to visit with them before they left for home in Colorado.


Friends of Colonel Sanders at KFC.


After 2 games of Sequence, Gabriel (not pictured), Laura, Paul and I had 2 good games of ...


... Blokus.

Mansions, Wedding, and Family

This week I have been cutting out mansions and roofs and windows and arches and flags and much more.
