Tripoly Dime Bags
Going to Palm Springs today for a much needed relaxing day of just floating on a raft in the pool and reading my latest novel. At night my sister's brother and I will get into a competitive game of Tripoly!
Well I already have my "dime bag" and so does my sister, Jana, but I made Juli and. Jackie one with rolls of dimes in it for their July bdays!
Juli's has the aprons on it because she is our resident cook on our vacations!
Jackie's has Mary Engelbreit fabric just because it's so darn cute (just like her)!
Jeff's (my baby brother) is the 49ers bag:
Janeene's ( my oldest sister) gets the USC bag!
On another note: here are Melyssa and Darkel arriving in Las Vegas for their
National Championship!

My Favorite Thing
My niece, Emily spent the day with me! We talked about her upcoming 11th birthday and decided she would take home her Janome sewing machine, "Ruby". In order to make her sewing corner successful, we traveled to JoAnns to pick up the necessary tools of the trade: pins, seam ripper, tailor's chalk, scissors thread, sewing case, tape measure......
Back at my house, Emily got a few lessons about cutting, threading her machine, bobbin winding, etc
She made a mat with pockets for under her Janome: quilted her "cherry blossom fabric" and made pockets and all:
GOOD TIMES.....GOOD TIMES!!!
Auntie Jo's favorite......passing quilting skills on!
