If My Grandma Had A Blog

My grandmother died in 2005. She did not own a computer. I think she could have mastered some computer skills, but she had plenty of interests and activities and friends to keep her engaged in the world. She wrote things down, not fictional stories but events of her life, both past and present. After she died, I was given the honor of keeping some of her writings. I thought starting a blog with them might be fun. I hope readers will find it enjoyable. Thanks for stopping by.

New glasses and quilt progress

"November 14, 1992: Warren J. took Howard to Norfolk in a.m. to get his new glasses. John put on storm windows in p.m. Helen and I "Scrabbled".
November 15, 1992: Went to church. Started cutting out the pieces for Greta's green Storm at Sea quilt.
November 17, 1992: Finished piecing the top of Nancy's Storm at Sea -- except for the border."

The Storm at Sea pattern looks confusing to me so I would have to have quilts of two totally different color schemes to pull that off without goofing it up, like maybe purple and lime green. But Grandma was a pro, so blue and green schemes were probably no problem for her at all.

That's all I have, I'm afraid. So instead of torturing my brain to think of more, I'll just post a photo of Mom smiling about the prospect of having a Storm at Sea quilt some day in the future. I like the stylish bend of her knee there.

Quite a pose I had there wasn't it. And I can remember that dress. It was yellow with brown trim. Can't tell if it was rick-rack or bias tape.
