Just things and Quilts and What's New purplesew 5:13 am

Good morning and welcome to fall in NJ. The color right now is just great. Be sure to look around and note the colors for a future quilt. Things have been pretty uneventful with me. The most exciting thing so far is the Yankees winning the pennant and moving on to the world series. Both AGL and I are big Yankee fans so we were up well past midnight watching the game and the celebration. 

The best part of this which relates to my quilting is that my grandmothers flower garden quilt it growing steadily and in fact by the time the World Series is over my quilt will be larger than I ever expected. I will take a picture of it later today and post it so you can see my progress. 

More later.

The Fire quilt is finished and delivered to its owner.  Here is the final picture.

Also have to admit that yesterday was my birthday and I am a bit down as this getting older stuff is not making me feel very good. But here are two things that made it much better. First is the bundle I rec'd from Hancock's  because I spent the gift certificate my sister sent me for my b'day last year!

Now what to make with them????

And the best treat of all is this adorable little cake from AGL from my favorite bakery. Unfortunately it will all go right to my hips!

The bakery can't spell my name  but I don't care…this week is all about cake.

Off to my good friend the sewing machine.

Thanks to all of you who sent cards, e-mail or phoned.  I am very lucky to have so many good friends and a few good family.

Just things purplesew 4:32 am

Over the last few weeks I have had occasion to drop my cell phone. On one occasion as small piece of plastic broke off. Then fast forward to Friday morning and the final drop came when it  split into two pieces.  You know what that meant.  A new phone.  I am not a technology whiz so off to the phone store and more pain but we were lucky enough to meet a very competent and  sweet young technician and he managed to help find me a new phone, transfer all my info from one to the other and best of all the new phone was FREE!!!! Can someone please explain to me how they sell you a phone and give you a rebate for the full price???

I am very happy that things worked out and the best part is that I now have a camera in this nifty little phone.  Even better I know how to use it. Today I am going to take some pictures of what I have been up to and the new little phone.  Look for more tomorrow.
