Postcards to Columbus

Joel had an old pickup truck that he used for feeding catfish. It was old and beat up and I decided it would make a good subject to be photographed. Using those pictures last week, I made these postcards for Postcards to Columbus . The pictures were tweaked on the computer and then printed on fabric that was ironed to freezer paper and sent through the printer.

These postcards will be for sale at the Location of Exhibition: Renee Reedy Studio | 101 5th Street South | Columbus, MS 39701 (below Cafe on Main) for the month of May, 2012.

You can see other postcards here and here.

We welcome a new granddaughter into our family.

Baby Talya Renee was born to Joel and Sheila weighing 4 lbs. and 6 oz. She had to go to Tupelo to be watched because of sleep apnea.

I got to fly to Tupelo ...

with Joel ...

... and Georgi ...

... to see Sheila & the new baby. We had a pleasant supper at Sonic.

These quilts lined the hallway of the NICU. Each hand represents a preemie that survived.

I have finished piecing the top of Laura's Quilt ...

Our Busy Life

Recent visitors in our home have been Laura's family, Dale & Ruthie Dickerson. Ruthie is my first cousin.

I quilted at Colonade Gardens in Columbus for the Pilgrimage. This young girl showed an interest in learning to stitch.

This is the site for the new Bogue Chitto Cotton Gin in our area. A number of old hog barns have been removed and the pits filled in.

The Grabers gathered at the river for boat rides ...

... and a picnic.

This app shows Jupiter is here and Saturn is here!

Nice pose, Ashley!

"A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly." The same applies for young girls!

I wonder if this fish is going to be any good.

No fear of snakes and critters with these boys.
