Digger O'Dell

This is our front yard when we returned from IL. Bob couldn't find the leak but the crawl space is now dry.

This is the view from our bedroom as Bob begins to dig a ditch from our crawl space to Muddy Run, a small creek behind our house. He is trying to get the water out of our crawl space which has come up through the shale.





He is really concentrating!

What now?

Rest period.

The water is starting to flow out of the crawlspace.

Water is flowing out!

Looking at the back of the house after it is filled. Need to start getting more wood. It was 40 degrees this a.m. and it is only August!

Looking towards the creek and Bob's (Digger O'Dell) house.

NEPALA

NEPALA stands for Northeast PA Longarm. We meet four times a year in Wilkes-Barre. This is our show and tell. This pattern is Yellow Brick Road which I pieced and quilted and it is a Christmas present.
Barb T on the left is our hostess for the day.


This pattern is Delectable Mountains. I pieced it and Jesse quilted it. It will be my Christmas quilt because my antique Christmas quilt has begun to disintegrate.
Ruth Y is on the left.


This pattern is called Paint Chips. Jesse made it with fabrics he had collected. He pieced and quilted it. For the quilting pattern he took pictures of paint brushes and rollers and made line drawings-a pantograph and quilted it following the drawings with a laser light.


This is the back of Paint Chips. Jesse pieced together the back with leftover fabric.


This pattern is called Secret Garden. Jesse pieced and quilted this quilt.




This pattern is called Easy Elegant Lonestar. I pieced and quilted it. It will be donated to our local Soroptomist Club and they will chance it off for Huntingdon County Pride (former Easter Seals), Huntingdon House (abused women's shelter) and our local Food Bank.

Judge's Choice

I asked Jesse to buy this kit because I fell in love with the colors. He pieced it and I quilted it. Harvest Spice won Judge's Choice at our local Huntingdon County Fair.
