Some of you have been wondering what the cake that Amy made looks like.

A cute little Caterpillar Cake

Can we quick get the pictures over with so we can eat the caterpiller?

My sister Emily & Perry are passing through again on their way to Texas. I was glad for Emily’s help to wrap some Christmas gifts.

We had a small show & tell at our PTQ’s Christmas luncheon.

These scrappy stars were made by Sue.

Sue also made this kaleidoscope quilt.

It’s Annettes turn to reach for a surprise.

Magnolia Sewing Circle

It was a very chilly day for us Southerners. I wonder if that had anything to do with our small turn out for our monthly sewing circle.

We still had warm fellowship around the quilting frame. Can you tell that yours truly is left handed?

And the children had fun playing together, both inside and outside.

Here’s Evie binding a comforter.

Cheryl sewed nine patch blocks together for a comforter top.

Veronica cut out alternate squares for the nine patch blocks …

… and then helped with the sewing.

Ashton, Cupcakes, Grandchildren, & AAQI

Ashton turned 4 yesterday.

Amy mixed up some cake mix batter and colored it for cupcakes.

She found a cute cake called “Colorful Caterpillar.”

Gabe, Darryl, and Amy hang out in the kitchen, catching up on the latest.

One day this past week I took care of Ashton, Kirby, and Stacy. They thought it was warm enough to play in the mud puddles.

They had so much fun and wore themselves out by the end of the day.

Talya gets as kiss from Stacy …

… and a hug from Georgi.

Does my breath smell like 7-Up cake?

And do you remember my little quilt “Stripped Bare?”

It is now for sale on the AAQI site. This is not an auction but a buy it now item.
