Quilt for Nina

Did I show you this? A quilt made for a young lady who showed up a bit early, just after the first of the year.

all sorts of fun summer animals

and a close up of a few

obviously there has to be at least one elephant

since her parents are dedicated A’s fans

completed

and given to her parents on Saturday at the As game. And yes, Nina was there; hanging out in a front carrier and attempting to stuff just about everything in her mouth….

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!

    Well done you – but you know the ultimate in avoidance is to wash all the dirt off the clothes pegs and hang them out to dry! (No, not me but someone I know.)
