Trash or treasure

My sister and I have different views on what a treasure is or trash.I was at her shop yesterday and was trying to be helpful of clearing those flat surfaces.Everyone has them a table top ,dresser, end table and so on. Well there was a pile of what I call doodles on muslin .They are practice pieces .The front and back are both muslin with batting in between.I asked what she wanted to do with them .This is the difference ,it was throw them away. Oh no ! They came home with me .My son said Mom instead of spending all that money on fabric and make the grand kids quilts use those.He went  on that all of them drag them around .I am going to give my self a week to do something with the pieces .then take pictures and post them here.

New Year 2015

Goals  Maybe goals are not always the best to do so instead I am going to use suggestion for 2015 One year I had a goal to read less. My family complained that I read too much. This is a concept that I can't grasp. To me you can never read too much . My daughter gave me a Kindle for Christmas which I have already read my first book of the new year. I also have learned to enjoy audio books.It did take me a bit to get used to this method .Then my next concern is getting my grand kids  to enjoy reading more. I had a brilliant idea ! Kindle unlimited So I signed up for the first free month then decided that I would continue this. I told all my kids about this and got the grand kids on board. Each household had a device to read from . Sometimes they pick a book or other times I send them one.The blog will be my way of keeping track of things this year.
