Received a telephone call from Noah last week ... "Hello Grandma are you finished with my quilt?" Did you ever have to tell a nine-year old boy "no"? I felt like a big dope ... I should have been working on it, but alas I procrastinated, dropped the ball, got lazy, whatever you want to call it ... I blew it BIG TIME!!!
One thing that should have kept me on track was the fact that the fabrics for this quilt were purchased during the 2011 Nebraska shop hop. How would I be able to make the 2012 rounds (April 19-29) if I hadn't finished it? I've found a wonderful long-arm quilter, have the sashing and backing. Why had I wimped out?
So this week I returned to the sewing room and focused on finishing up the block assembly. It took me less time to complete the last 16 blocks than it did the first 14. Now I should have smooth sailing ... only need to square up the blocks (yucky, tedious work -- maybe that is my excuse?). I need to get a move on ...

GrossMama Wagner and the kids ...
Don't know the exact year of this photo. Daddy (on chair arm) was born in 1923, so he may have been about three? I love this photo of him and the sibs. What a good looking family!

Happy Birthday Dubber Ann!
Just goes to show you ~ once a "Husker", always a "Husker" ~.
61 years ago today my "only child" status was forever changed. I was indeed blessed ... once she was past the bottle feedings and diaper changes she became a forever playmate, confidant and friend.
I love you Deborah Ann ... more than you will ever know.
PS: I just noticed your eyes ... same color, etc. in both photos!

Tea Party anyone?
The Rapid City "great niece" Avalen celebrated her second birthday this month. I think she enjoyed the tea set we sent her. Happy Birthday Avalen!

Spotted Beetles
We are inundated with ladybug type insects. Have no fear our attack cat is on the lookout!
Little Bit just sits and has a stare down with the little buggers! It's more fun to watch her track them when they are in flight though ... one would think she could unscrew her head.
