When it comes to blogging, I have fallen asleep on the job!!! The grandkids have been here a lot this summer, and I have treasured every minute! Now I am on a 3 week withdraw! I learned just this morning that TJ lost his first tooth....I didn't even get to see it wiggle :( One more week and I will see them again!In the meantime, we have stayed busy here. My mother and I took Kyle, Charlotte, and Zach to the Discovery Center one day. They all loved it! Here are some highlights.....
School officially starts for us in the next couple of weeks. We are planning a trip to Galena with the kids before our start date. Charlotte has been working hard to start her Freshman year....Zach starts 5th grade. Where has the time gone? Oh...Charlie starts piano lessons tomorrow. She is THRILLED!
I never did show you pics of my new sewing area. I am so happy I moved it back downstairs. It is a little different than last time, but I like it better this way!
My Grandma's hutch is in the far corner, where it was before, and it is filled with pretties and old antique quilts. I added this cupboard to the room....it will hold bigger pieces of fabric.
On the quilting front....lets just say I have been in a rut. Not for long though. I am still appliqueing leaves and then I can get the UGRR in the hoop. I am also playing with my 9-patches. 
I bought this yardage of red and am toying with the idea of using it for alternate blocks....but I think I may do a fence rail in between them. Either way, it is next on the list!!!
(Blogger keeps leaving big spaces and if I close them up, they go right back....Blogging has been frustrating lately with all the Blogger glitches going on)
Lots of Spiritual growth here. Attacks from all sides and God showing me exactly how to handle them at the exact right moment it needs to be handled. Pray for our neighborhood. We are in a battle to keep our children safe. We know and TRUST that God is in control and I am so thankful that the Lord trusts me enough to give me this task! I love it when he clearly shows me HIS way verses my own way.
More times than not, in difficult situations, we see through a cloud and are not quite sure which way to go....this time the road was well marked!!! Praise GOD!!!

I broke in my new sewing area with this little runner. I even machine quilted it in the ditch *GASP* That won't be happening very often!!! LOL

Now that our schedule is back on track, it should be easier to keep up this little blog! Thanks for stopping in!

I love the look of your new quilting room!
I got tired of Blogger's glitches too and started using Windows Live Writer. I love it! You might check into it - you can write your posts, insert pictures and links, and publish your posts all without even going on the Blogger Dashboard. You can even do your writing offline.
It sounds like you have been having a busy summer. Don't worry about not blogging a lot, I'll be here when you do :0)
I always loved taking the kids to the Seattle Science Center, so many fun activities.
Crispy - who is still in her quilting funk.
All of your quilting is lovely.
