Return to Quilting

I woke up on this warmer and sunny morning and declared to myself mentally (not out loud) that I have reached a point on my downsizing journey that I am far enough along packing up Florida and unpacking Virginia and online selling on Ebay, Etsy and Amazon and brick and mortar selling in Colonial Beach and writing online in my 12 BlogSpot blogs  that I could also return to another of my past loves: quilting!
I have learned that the best and fastest way to review and catch up on anything is to do it on YouTube so that is what I keyed in on my Vizio smart tv and found my ol fav Melanie Hamm for my first quilting video but then I came across a Tiny house preppers video on quilting. On the video she explains Her sister had sent her EVERYTHING she would need to quilt in their rv tiny house.

FLORIDA BIBLE STUDY QUILTING BUDDIES don't miss this video! You should see the well done and creative and colorful she and her sister did!
Especially the Bible holder and thingies that hold bowls in the microwave to name a few. Her youtube video channel is about smaller living homes but the quilting video one gives me hope!:)

The Sound of Silence

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk7RVw3I8eg

55 million views on youtube.

I think when I listen to this version that if God had a human voice he would sound and show the passion and feelings as heard in this song.

Dusk on the Water

Dusk on the water.
Nothing as calming and soothing.
This looks a lot like a scene I get to enjoy now that I am back in Virginia.

Here are 1509 pages for you to hold!
Hardback book.
Many years  ago when my mother was one of the people in Social Security who had to decide who qualified for medical disability, this book was used to better understand as  one of the tools  for what was presented in the requests. And here it is still!

Spotsylvania Pickles and Missouri Magic


Many happy family hours spent growing these cucumbers and preparing them  for  doing my first canning of Bread &  Butter Pickles. I got this recipe from my husband's family. I am downsizing my recipes to people who will continue to enjoy their preparation to eat and use as gifts for family and friends!
