I have an amazing friend
(0)
Yesterday, my friend Inge stopped by and gave me one of the most beautiful gifts ever: an oil painting she made of my Mother as a young girl. Is she not an amazing artist? God has blessed me when he gave me Inge as a friend, that’s for sure. My mother has always been an … [View Details]
Side Tracked – as usual!
(0)
Yes, I have to admit, I am highly distractible and get easily side tracked. Haven’t spent much time with my “little cowboys” but instead have been working on birthday gifts for Saarah. I am showing you two of them below. The towel is a super soft towel, high loft, from K Mart. I cut off … [View Details]
Number 2 Cowboy is almost done
(0)
I have to say that these little buckaroos are keeping my brain active. These are not “simple” applique, as far as the digitizing is concerned. It’s like putting together a big puzzle trying to figure out what piece goes before what other piece. But I do like the way this one stitched up, too. I … [View Details]
Just a little update
(0)
Wish I could say that cowboy number two was done, but that little fellow is still in the making. He is going to be so cute, sitting on a rock, playing the banjo. I kept busy today getting my next free design together. Since I manually digitize all of my designs (no autodigitizing here) and … [View Details]
Cowboy Effie

Well, I had hoped to be posting my progress yesterday, but Cowboy Effie wasn’t too cooperative. I got him finished this morning and I think he is sooooo cute! What do you think? I have several more designs to go but just wanted to share. I stitched him out on light beige Kona cotton. He … [View Details]
Little Sheriff

I am going to start a quilted wallhanging for our youngest grandson, Effie. Mom and Dad requested a cowboy theme, so the Wild West it is!! I have purchased exclusive clipart from http://www.sugarbeargraphics.com and it is soooo adorable. I thought you might want to watch my progress as I first digitize this set and then … [View Details]
Counting God’s Blessings
(0)
Last Wednesday was a very special day in the life of our daughter and her family. Kristy’s husband officially adopted all three of her children from a previous marriage. We all went to court and listened to the Judge, a folksy kind of person, talk about the value of family and the need to support … [View Details]
The 10 Commandments – Saarah’s story
(2)
As you may know, I have been working on different embroidery versions of the 10 Commandments for children. I have really sensed a great need to do this being that the 10 commandments have all but disappeared out of the public eye. This morning our daughter Kristy told me a story about her Saarah. Kristy … [View Details]
Oma’s Reflections on grandchildren, autism and embroidery
(0)
It’s been a while since I last wrote a blog entry. Life has been so very hectic, as many of you can relate to, I am sure. It has been weighing heavily on my heart lately that so many of the children today will not know the 10 commandments and I have felt a sense … [View Details]
Spring is on Its Way!
(0)
Here in Ohio we have had the first signs of spring and it is so refreshing. I have been able to take the grandkids to the park the last two days and it’s been so wonderful to see crocus pushing through the ground and we found some snowbells blooming. It feel so good to be … [View Details]
Happy New Year!

I am hoping that for most of you, if not all, the New Year is off to a good start. Life has been very busy here at Oma’s Place, with many new designs in the making. Since I do most of my own testing, it will take me a while to get them all up … [View Details]
Another project finished

I just thought some of you might enjoy seeing what I did with some blanks from www.allaboutblanks.com. I just love Susan’s high quality blanks and fast service. This blanket is a cotton velour and the bear, too, is made of velour and both are super, super soft and cuddly. The design is mine and should … [View Details]
Sewing with Oil Cloth
(2)
Have you ever sewn with oil cloth before? I hadn’t and decided that it was time to use the fabric I had bought several years back. I made a little carrying tote for my little grandson and I think it turned out really cute. I was glad though that I had read some tips about … [View Details]
‘Tis Christmas Time!
(2)
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it’s time to decorate “the halls” and work on Christmas gifts. I am finding there are not enough hours in the day and I am sure some of you feel the same. I just finished a couple of gifts for the grandkids and thought I would share some … [View Details]
Meet our new family member!
(1)
Just wanted to share with you our joy over our new grandbaby. Effie Gabrian Brock was born this morning by scheduled C-section and weighed in at 10 lbs 2 oz. The nurses kiddingly talk about the “toddler” on their unit! It was a difficult pregnancy and we are all so happy he made it … [View Details]
