South Texas Scraps




Welcome to my little blog. Hope you will come back again. The title may be a little misleading, Scraps refers to fabric scraps. You see I love to piece scrap quilts. I have so much fabric, I believe I could sew till I die and never have to buy anymore, but that isn't going to happen.








I talked today to my DD, Amber. That is her to the left! She lives in Irving and is a groomer. She is very succesful and I hope she can one day have her own salon and not have to work so hard. She just moved in with my best friend, Debi. I got to talk to Debi today also. She is going to send me some of her husband's tshirts to make tshirt quilts for herself and Charlie's parents. Charlie was killed in a hit and run accident over New Years Eve. Debi and Charlie have been so much a part of my life. I know it will be a comfort to Debi and to Charlie's parents to have quilt to keep Charlie near and he will be providing warm snuggling hugs to Debi!





OH, I am a manatee lover from way back. I went on a cruise one time that went out of Cape Carnival in Florida and kept seeing the manatee signs. I just wanted the bus to stop and let me see them. Ne such luck. So When I was up in Waco for work training, there was a manatee stranded or lost in the Corpus Christi bay. This is very rare for this area. So, a group rescued him and took him back to Florida. All this was done before I even got back home. Bummer, I can get so close and still havent seen one in person! Here is picture of the one that was rescued, they named him Bob.

I will close for tonight! Hope to see you all tomorrow!
