Also a family trip to Hawaii was taken for a week (I will share pictures and a story or two with you in a later post)
There was a baby shower for my niece, four birthdays, our two daughters moved that we helped with, some remolding of the house (I will share later with you in a post) and Gary "Retired".
So there you have the last two months in two short paragraphs...Whew I'm tired!
I finished two quilts one for Dad and one for Mom. Dad's is called "Plaid Dad" I found the pattern in "Quilt Magazine" the Oct/Nov 2011 issue. It was more work then I thought, but I really like it..and Dad did too! My Dad is a hunter so I wanted a hunting theme quilted on top. I started googling quilt designers and found the hunting pattern you see on the quilt. It was the perfect pattern for my Dad.

Thank you again for your kindness in asking how we've been, you know who you are..and I love you!
I will be visiting just as soon as possible. Know I have been thinking of you all and keeping you close in my heart. You are all very dear to me and I have missed you so much.
Our family has so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day! We were truly blessed with Dad's recovery..

Wow. You can take all the time you want to begin explaining that paragraph. What a lot you pack into a sentence. I am so glad that things are turning around for your dad and that he is doing so much better without any paralysis. What a fantastic quilt you made for him and for your mother, too. Gifts of time. You were born to quilt, I do believe.
Welcome back, glad to hear your Dad is doing so well. Your quilts are just gorgeous!
Dearest Elizabeth,
You are amazing, girl!!! Your quilts are gorgeous, just fabulous!!! Your folks must just love them. Life does get very busy, doesn't it. I'm so glad to hear that your dad has recovered, God is so GOOD!
You have been busy though, with those quilts. Glad to hear from you, sweet lady.
Love and hugs, Cindy
Hi Elizabeth.
It is so good to see your post. You HAVE been a busy girl! The quilts are wonderful. Love, love, love the "Plaid Dad" quilting.
So happy that your dad is on the mend.
Best to you all, Chris
Hi Elizabeth
The quilts you made are really great. I love the blue one of course, but the one for your Dad is sensational. It's so hard to make masculine quilts. That one is perfect and the quilting patttern with the wildlife looks like it was custom designed for it. I'm glad to hear your dad is okay.
Funny you should write today, as I have been down with surgeries & illness. I was reviewing WHOM I needed to catch up with & you are clicked.
So sorry your Father had to go thru this but glad to hear he is doing well. Love his quilt, unique stitching.
Your Mother's Dresden blue quilt is fabulous!
Yes you have been busy, my friend. Just glad to know you are fine. Now you & hubby can chill in his retirement ... altho I want to tip you off, chilling doesn't happen often. Chuckle!
Have a great week.
TTFN ~
Hugs,

Oh Ms. Elizabeth,
Can't say I didn't worry there for a moment...It has been a while. I'm very happy to hear that you are okay and that your Dad is doing well. Sounds and looks like you've been one very busy bee...The quilts turned out beautiful. Great job. Welcome back my sweet friend. Sending tons of hugs your way.
Blessings,
♥Ana

Wow your quilts are amazing! Your newest follower, Karima
Glad things turned out well in the end! You never know what a day or year may bring forth, that is for sure. Beautiful quilts as usual! Helping people move---This past year we moved ourselves, and our two sons (individually)!
Wow Elizabeth, your quilts are a work of art. so glad that your dad is o.k. You really have had a hectic two months. Glad you're back!
I am so pleased to hear that your father is doing well. What a scare it must have been for your family.
Your quilts are simply beautiful! what a lovely gift to give your parents! Something you have made is always one of the dearest gifts.

Praise the Lord that your precious Dad is healing so well. A scary time, indeed! Looking forward to all the newsy posts that will be coming and your quilts are absolutely beautiful! Lurve the hunter theme!
Glad to hear your Dad is better. You are becoming quite the quilter. Quilts for both your Mom and Dad is quite an accomplishment and each so perfect for them. You picked great fabric for a "manly" quilt and the machine quilting is fantastic. Blue being my favorite color, I fell in love with your choices for your Mom's quilt too.
