Lots of water under the bridge since last I wrote

Well here I am many months from my last posting and things have changed again- My oldest grandchild will graduate from high school in May with honors. A+ student and excepted to college for nursing. Just got her first car yesterday (April 16) and is on her way in life. Will go to state this next week in sing competion. What a joy she is in my life. My mother passed on Dec. 15th 2012 and we will bury her along side dad at Jefferson Barracks Memorial Gardens in St.Louis this May. Went quilt camp for the first time and made this tote bag for an iron. It was great fun and learned so much from the ladies there. What a great group of women who shared their knoweledge of quilting and their material. My Schnauzer (Zeke) passed away in April of 2011 and then I got Baxter Barrett the day Zeke was buried in the flower bed. What I was hoping for as a small dog but Baxter has turned into a 25 pounder
