Something Pink........

You all know that I am passionate about Breast Cancer Awareness because of my mom's battle with this disease. After mom's diagnosis, I purchased a breast cancer awareness braclet and wore it every day, day and night. I decided that I wanted something more permanent, so I searched and searched for the right design and finally found it! So, on June 14th, I got a tattoo! It's on my right leg, just above the ankle.



The pink ribbon is of course for Breast Cancer Awareness, and if you look closely, you will see a black ribbon behind the pink one.......that is in memory of my mom. The scroll work signifies the need to keep spreading awareness, and additionally, for me, the fact that life continues even after the loss of a loved one.



Thanks to Jerry at Atomic Tattoo in Wintersville, Ohio for his wonderful work. And thanks to Mike, for recommending Jerry!

Hello Again!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Things are busy with work-----we have a June 30th year end----and home. I had some damage to my home just after Thanksgiving last year and it is now completely fixed.......new roof and new plaster inside! Yeah! So I was not getting much quilting done----but now I have regained my bedroom and turned the spare bedroom into my sewing room. I still need to do some organizing.....but will do that as I get back into quilting and arrange as I go.

I have been going to alot of my cousin's Babe Ruth Baseball games.......he just won the 14-year old regional division on Sunday and is going to the State Championships in two weeks. The first picture is of my cousin, Mike playing 1st base.......


This is the team photo:



Team members include front row from left to right Tyler Foster, Tyler Shifflett, Brennan Dettinger, Houston Schuler, JD Brown, Justin Chenoweth and Tyler Bedford.

Second row: Coach Junior Phillips, Coach Adam Shaffer, Ryan Bonnell, Caten Murphy, Mike Phillips, Corey Howell, Riley Lloyd, Scott Fox, Manager Chris Broughton and Scorekeeper Marshall Lloyd

On Saturday, I got the two quilts back that I sent to the quilter in May! They are beautiful. I only have a few photos of the block of the month quilt taken-------I attached the binding and it is ready to hand sew down-----that's why all of the clips are there! I will put up a picture of the other quilt soon!



And finally, a picture of the back:
