World Series!

Enough said!

Pitt County Girls Softball Team headed to World Series!

Happy team of girls from Pitt County!  Headed to the airport to fly to Florida.  The 12U World Series will be held in Alucha, Florida again this year.  PCGSL has won the title nine times!  One reason why Greenville, NC is known as Sports Town USA.

Uncle Sam Mat

Uncle Sam Mat - done!  Thanks Sharon Stewart for your help making this!

Rained so much that the field is a mess!  Better today than yesterday, though

Bri trying to catch a wild throw!  Softballs are hard to throw when wet.

8U State Champs!

Madison - 2nd Place Champ - 12U, Bri - 1st Place Champ - 8U and Coach (Dad) for 8Us.  Both teams went into the loser's bracket last night.  Madison's team came back today to win their first game (12U).  8U played three games today - the hotest day of the year to come in first place.  Proud of my granddaughters and son-in-law for working as hard as they did!!!

Go team!

Projects

I laid blocks over the finished Civil War quilt to see which blocks I still needed to do on the second one I am making.  Only the embroidery blocks remain and then I can put it together.  Since I still have material left, I think I will make a smaller one.

My second punch needle project.  Made some mistakes, but it is so easy, I won't mind making another one!

Finished Betsy Ross - this is a Sharon Stewart design.

My lst punch needle project.  I think Lisa at Lone Star Mercantile designed this one.  Turned it into a cute pin cushion.  I am getting a nice collection of pin cushions!

Really enjoyed doing the twelve months of Bertie.  Sabrina at Lone Star is working with us on this!

I have fallen in love with making sailboats!  This is my own design and will have at least nine blocks.  Washington, NC has provided me with the inspiration for the blocks.

Sharon Stewart inspired me to make this Christmas quilt.  Not her design, but she is providing the material for the nine blocks we are making.

Just finished this Shaker Stool at few Saturdays ago.  The talented Sabrina taught this class.  Glad I took it, sore finger and all. . .

Another BOM - Farmer's Wife.  I have over 20 blocks done and plan to do 50.  Once again, Sabrina is helping us with this.

In February, Kathy Fisher and I went to a quilt show in Hampton, VA.  We took a needle felting class.  There are two pictures showing different views of this project.  I am not finished yet - thinking about adding a pond with cattails and a boat.
