Some FMQ practice with rulers and BSR

Border design in Angela's online ruler class week 4.  The last photo was also from her class............by the way....it is free and a very good class!!

I was wanting to make up some FMQ with my BSR so I scribbled a tree....then I painted it with Shiva paintstix.  This was very quick and easy.  I almost didn't put this here on my blog.....

Here is a page from my Joanne Sharpe 2020 online class notebook when I was setting it up for my daily gratitude.

Last week in our small quilt group Zoom meeting I was telling them about finally donating my wedding dress to Salvation Army.  We all decided to share our wedding photos with each other...........WOW....was that ever fun to see everyone and their husbands when they were young!  I thought I would share my photo of a photo here 

so....that is enough to share now....ready for next week's goals

To-Do Tuesday week of November 17 through November 23:

1. Do another stitch and paint project
2. FMQ for 4 days
3. Christmas project
4. Enter more quilts in Flickr and Pinterest (before I forget how to enter them again)

UPDATE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS...........

I had questions about our wedding and here are some more photos and info.

We got married September 17, 1961 at the Methodist Church in Jefferson, Iowa.  I had just graduated from nurses training several weeks prior.  

Soooo....why did I save the dress all these years and then get rid of it!  

Here is a photo of us and our 4 boys in 1975.  The dress was at my mom's house and I could STILL get into it and we took a bunch of photos.  

We stuffed the dress in a plastic tub and brought it to our house and that is where it has been all of these years!  Moving it from Iowa to San Diego to Mission Viejo to San Diego to Julian and back to San Diego!!!  

I got it out again several weeks ago and it was time to let it go............I decided I would not be able to get into it again....and it looked too good to start cutting it up to use for projects.  I donated it and maybe someone else can enjoy it now!  That is if someone wants to wear a vintage wedding dress!

Smiles and hugs....Caryl
