In All It's Glory

It is finally finished. Goodness, this was a long project. Almost 4 years in the making. Most of the work was done in the last few months though. I am just thrilled with the texture. Isn't it wonderful.....I know you have seen this a thousand times, but this last parade of pictures is a celebration! It is finally on my bed!Sweetheart even took me out and bought a new tan dust ruffle, dark brown pillowcases, and new dark brown curtains. This made it all match. I still need covers for those night tables....the green does not go well, but I am not complaining!
Soon a fresh coat of paint will finish off our new room. I went with the brown and tan because the other 2 quilts I have in the works for this room both have brown in them. I notice most of my quilts have brown in them! Hmmmmm. Not to mention the fact that all the extra brown takes away from a more feminine looking room....not that Sweetheart cares.
We can't end the celebration without a look at the back......Of course Sass had to have a seat! She is not happy about the empty hoop. She kept climbing in it last night. Wonder what she was thinking? Well, I really have nothing ready to go in there so I am kinda lost. I need to get the next project ready as soon as possible. That would be the Hidden Star.It looks pink and brown too, but it is actually red and brown. See....more brown. It is in blocks and still needs a handful of blocks yet before I can put it all together. This is my oldest son's quilt. His birthday is June 22nd so I have a deadline. In the meantime, I need to make up a little sample for a hand quilting class I am teaching. My hoop will not stay empty for long!
Thanks for all of your well wishes and kind words regarding the new blog. Please know that no one offended me, nor was anyone rude or hurtful. Anyone who ever visited Pieces From Me was nothing but kind and gracious. It is all my own personal "stuff" and this fresh new beginning was just what I needed. Tonight I will sleep under the Pink and Brown knowing life is going to get better.
See you soon!!!
Blessings, Bren

A Fresh Start


Welcome to "Life With A Little Sass"!

As most of you know, Sassy is my cat. She has made life here much brighter, I must admit! I started this blog as a fresh start. "Pieces From Me" has run it's course. It was a place for me to share my life, document family history and make some incredible friendships. Lately though, I have felt unable to share my heart. My son's divorce has crippled us, but not destroyed us, yet Pieces From Me was a casualty. Though I will leave the blog up for history's sake, I will not be announcing "Life With A Little Sass" over at Pieces From Me. It may take some of you a while to find me here and if I do not have your email, you may never find me. Still, I am moving on. It feels good to have a place to be myself again.
I am thrilled to share that I will be finishing up the Pink and Brown quilt tonight. I have one side of binding to put on and it is completely finished.I had much company while finishing up this quilt. I am certain that Sassy thinks it is her quilt! She came running every time I pulled it out.
Again, welcome to my new place. I will have pictures of the Pink and Brown up in the next day or two. Come often and please share your comments with me!

Blessings, Bren
