Ugliest Pillow Case

Imagine my surprise when I won a fun award for
The Quilt With  the Ugliest Pillow Case.

It’s not only ugly but has grease stains and is very faded. We used it for many years on the children’s pillows.

Picking Cotton

They came to pick our cotton.

Ashton was glad to get back with Tina. It was scary up on that module.

I enjoyed their “show & tell” and seeing the many quilts they have made.
