Breast Cancer Block

This is a Block I made to help a group member of Crazy Quilting international Yahoo Group for a Breast Cancer Fund raiser. It was a challenge to stay in the colour range of shades of white and cream. I found that I needed to add a little pink or green to most of the seams or embelishments so they would show up. I hope that it will arrive in time to be included in the quilt she is preparing.


My Mom had a brush with breast cancer and her Mother passed away after a nasty battle with it. So This time I made a Block in Mom's honour. If I should ever do another I will do it for my Grandma who passed away 2 years before I was born.

These are Wyld Roses and it is the first time I was abe to do them successfully. Yay!!!!
These are my second attempt to do the Melanie Rose The buds are the Grifin Rose Bud. My first atempt at the Melanie Rose can be found here. I just love how they turn out.

DH feeding a hungry T-Rex
Reptile Garden was a great high light of the trip this little guy is the thing we all agreed was the best.
I even pet his little back. Oh he was so very neet.
t
Mount Rushmore was amazing.
DH and the boyz took the treck to get up close. Later they told me it was all stairs so deciding to sit this one out was probably a good idea.

From a photo bought in 1975So they have done quite a bit. I dont Know why I am typing in blue or underlining it Sorry. Great Fun was had by all. I must Say We had the best service we have had ever on this trip. Americans are very polite and friendly.... I think taking the Boyz out of Canada influenced them in a very positive way.

Crappy Cold/ Allergies

Fall again and a beautiful one at that. The weather has just been wonderful. Today it is raining but yesterday I was wearing shorts and a tank top. The Weather Man says that its the end of summer now though... I have been really quite ill the month of September (and still am a little). There was a time when I could barely move I was not sleeping more than an hour at a time and then I needed to be propt up so I didnt drowned in the crap that drips down the back of your throat.. okay I am getting gross here. I am hoping that the rain knocks what ever I am reacting to out of the air and then I can actually feel up to snuff again. I am going to try to post a few entries today and this week I know how can you trust me cause I post so spiratically for this I am truely sorry.. I know sour grapes oh well if you come back I do appreiciate you and your coments.
