charitable quilters

Quilters are a wonderful bunch of people, who you'll find do quilting mostly for people other than themselves. So I would define that as CHARITABLE. From waaayyy back to the early farm days. I know my grannies on the farms made rag rugs & patchwork quilts out of need & gave to any neighbor that was in need in any way, be it food clothes, help bringing in their crops, illness ...a helping hand was their by my family even though they could not afford it themselves, that was the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At quiltaid.com.au a wonderful quilt is made by~12 designers each making a quilt unique square that I find almost defines them. Sewn together making a beautiful quilt for the charity. It is GORGEOUS. You can also click on each designer & purchase their square & make their square part of the proceeds go to the charity. For more information you can click the link. It brings awareness to a charity, and you discover many amazing wonderfully creative women!!!!


have a great day

another bite won't hurt

just one more bite and it will be the last..... i promise ..... then I will eat the all craisins off the floor ..... I promise... CHOCOLATE CHIP

middle of the night snack

what a racket I woke to at 3 am...what on earth could it be I thought??? this is what it was...
I grab a bat from behind a door and creep thru the house and what do I find? Dear beloved Chocolate Chip...in the midst of a ` CRASIN craving' deciding to help himself.... auughhhh!!! Usually we have a line of Craisins lined up on the coffee table  and he stands up thru out the day and helps himself. It is very cute. Nearby is a tupper bin with more~God forbid we run out. We also discovered recently he LOVES CHIPS... But specific brands. that's the other dish in the picture. note it also is empty. Well, all that clatter & look how he sits with the look of `no problem ' in the world.......Hmmmmmm. wish a snack could do that for us all... :>)
