How long could you be mad at that face???
Fortunately, this is not an expensive couch. Well, maybe it was...... we got it at a garage sale and as soon as we find something nicer/cheaper, it's gone. No sense being upset about blue marker on it. It already has some lovely black (sharpie!!!) marker on the arm from another time I left the house. When will I learn???
This was the scary part. Fortunately, this is not a real quilt. It's a couple of sheets and an old blanket that I got at the thrift store to practice on. And it's washable marker. I'm gonna see if I can stitch around the marker and preserve this memory forever! Or, for at least as long as we keep this practice piece. Maybe it will become the dog's quilt. Lesson learned - be sure and keep all the scissors and sharp things off the quilting frame because lovely assistant 'can' get up there!

I called Uncle Phil in here from the living room to see the "art work" on your couch and most of all to see the precious picture of the face you can't stay mad at!! He laughed that big laugh of his...thought she was so cute and Gracie so pretty!! Just think of all the wonderful memories you have for you "memory book"!! I so love your stories!! Thanks for sharing!
Love,
Aunt Ruthie
I told you she'd know where the markers are! Ha! I love that she can draw circles like Mason and Gabe could. It looks to me like another artist has been identified.
When the picture was first loading, I thought Grace was Sadie! She looks so beautiful.
Do quilt around that art work! And, please don't give it to the dog! It's a treasure! Have all the other kids draw something and quilt around all of it; make it the family quilt! Maybe give it to ME! Rigel surely won't love it as much as I would!
Love you all,
Mom
ah.. what a giggle.. because it is not MY quilting machine, etc.. Oh MY. yes, BEAUTIFUL "assistants".. but OHHH MYYY.. kids. gotta love em. KEEP the memory.. do NOT give it to the dogs. GIVE IT to YOUR MOM. she WILL appreciate it.. note. I am SO GLAD my children are grown.. now the "grans". another story.
