When I cut the basket handles for the stringy
improv. baskets, there were all these leftover bits and pieces. I started to throw them into the scrap basket and then at the last minute, set them aside. The next morning I impulsively hunted down a striped piece of fabric bought on clearance awhile back and started laying them into random rows.

Why not? Someday soon I will applique them onto this background fabric and then let it tell me what needs to happen next. Right now it looks a little
Carolyn Friedlander-meets-up-with-the-frugal-quiltmaker, but hey! Some tidbits of scraps are just too intriguing to go to waste.
In other exciting news, our oldest son got married this past Saturday evening! We traveled to Portland, Oregon for the big To-Do and got to spend lots of time with family and friends coming to help celebrate. Our new daughter-in-law is a lovely person and makes our son so very happy.

| A wedding in the family |
It will be awhile before the professional pictures are available, but I couldn't wait to share the wonderful news. Especially the bonus round. As of Saturday, we are also brand new grandparents!

| And a sweet little bonus |
Miss Lucy is our very first grandchild and what a sweet, spunky little girl she is! Her daddy died shortly after she was born and so my son gets to step in and be a father to her for all the rest of her growing up years. As you can only imagine, it was a very emotional, but super sweet wedding for everyone involved. We couldn't be any happier for the three of them.....
