Found this fabric at the Sprawl-mart, as Ed Crankshaft, the cartoon school bus driver calls it. :):) It was a dollar-fifty a yard, so cheap. Good enough for cushion covers for the chaise on the porch. Now if I can just get busy enough to get them done. Then I could show pictures of that, couldn't I ?
We had some storms and heavy rains yesterday and last night. More coming our way today. Hopefully this coming week will be nicer. I am in shock of all the rains and flooding in some states, especially Texas. Praying for all of those that have lost loved ones and their homes.
Thank you ,my blog family, for your kind words and prayers for Ray. He is still resting . We know it's just a matter of time with the morphine induced coma. This is results from Ray being diagnosed with mesothelioma and it spreading to his bones. Diagnosed at stage 4, just last month.
Wishing all of you a great Sunday. XO
Good Morning, Susie. I clicked to enlarge your fabric choice. Very pretty; I love the colors. You got a very good deal. My thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by the flooding. Saying a prayer for Ray and the whole family. God bless your day. xo
ReplyDeleteMildred, I try to get my machine running and could not remember where I put it's power cord...after I hand sewed the covers, then I found the cord...it was in my sewing box..LOL. Hope your day was great. xoxo,Susie
DeleteBless your heart Mildred. You are so kind. I Hope your day is a beautiful one. Love, Susie
ReplyDeletethat mesothelioma is such a nasty disease,, I keep him in my prayers,
ReplyDeletethat is beautiful fabric and what a deal!
Ted, his brothers and father..were construction pipefitters and weilders, they worked around a lot of asbestos. Ted goes to a dr. every year...Ray rarely ever did. So sad, he was a gentle person..so kind. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI'm with you Susie. I live just across from Trentom, Michigan, in a place called Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada along the Detroit River and it hasn't stopped raining since yesterday. I feel waterlogged right now but rain to me is life. Have a great day Susie. See ya.

Paul, I am sick of the rain and gray skies here. I need sunshine. :):) Hope you get a break in rain too. Poor Texas.. Too much at once.for too long also. Blessings for a fun week ahead. xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie, Love the pretty fabric you found at a great price. We here in Texas have had so much rain and major flooding all around.
ReplyDeleteWe are predicted for a warmer dry week. Praying it helps with the high waters.
Prayers for Ray and God to be with you all.
Hugs, CM
Celestina, I hope you are safe from the floods. It is a sad thing that has happened there. I hand sewed my covers...then I find the power cord for my machine.LOL. xoxo,Susie
DeleteLovely fabric, Susie and what a great price! Can't wait to see them made up.
ReplyDeleteStill praying for Ray and all of you.
Thank you Kathy. We have heard nothing new as of yesterday about Ray. We pray he isn't suffering. I made the cushion cover by hand, could not find my power cord to my machine till after I made them..isn't that how it goes girl? LOL xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie, what beautiful fabric! (Great price!) That will look so nice when your all done! Sorry about the rain, but thank goodness it's nothing like dome other areas that have been hit so hard. My prayers re with all of them..
ReplyDeleteThis must be do hard on Ted...I pray for strength for him during this difficult time.
Blessings,
Gert
Thank you Gert. We truly appreciate the prayers. xoxo,Susie
DeleteContinuing prayers for Ray and all of your family. What a tough time.
ReplyDeleteI like your fabric a lot. Please post a picture when your cushions are done.
Thank you Carol. Ray is a beautiful person. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat fabric is so springy. I have been thinking I would like to have new cushions for our chairs, but haven't found anything like that!
ReplyDeleteI said a prayer for your Ray. I am so sorry. I know that is hard.
And, the floods here are shocking to me as well. In years past, I would see flooding in other parts of the country and wonder how they made it through such things. Ours is bad, but thankfully, no loss of property or life. I feel so badly for the ones who have suffered great loss.
Nonnie, After I bought this material...then my husband says, "hey there new cusions from when we had that patio set"...I had completely forgotten those . We gave that patio set to our grandson about 8 years ago. I still had new cushions. LOL. Thank you so much for the prayers. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThe fabric will make some sweet cushion covers, for sure! Will continue to pray for your family. You have been through so much lately! Sending blessings and prayers! Cindy
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy. Every prayer or kind work is so greatly appreciated. Yes, I lost my brother at the end of Feb. My sister is recovering from a stroke. Now Ted's sweet brother Ray is waiting for the Lord to take him home. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWe just never know, do we? Dealing with the same thing here with a brother-in-law that is 1200 miles away. A death watch and feeling helpless to do anything for them.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your material. That will make a beautiful cover, Susie- xo Diana
Diana, It is sad for everyone involved. I don't know if it's because I lost my own brother earlier this year, but I feel so emotional about Ray. I think his spirit is so gentle. Thank you for the prayers. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI lost my mother to mesothelieoma. She worked in a ship yard in Oregon when she was young...it was a terrible thing...
ReplyDeleteMona, I am sorry about your mother. I know the shipyard workers were about all exposed to asbestos. Ted's male family members worked construction as pipefitters and wielders ...they were around asbestos in some situations. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThinking about Ray and your family. xoxo. By the way , I love that fabric
ReplyDeleteThank you Japolina. Ray is such a kind sweet man. The waiting is limbo. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh Susie...I was sorry to read about Ray. How is Ted doing? It must be draining on both of you.
ReplyDeleteI do like the fabric you've chosen to cover the chairs...it's really pretty.
I love you, sweet friend.
Debbie
xo
Debbie, I see Ted crying about this pain of his brother...it just kills me. ray is a kind soul and Ted is too. They got that sweetness from their mother.
DeleteI made the cover by hand , then find the power cord to my machine.. Oh bother as Pooh would say. Bless you, Love you dear friend, xoxo,Susie
Love the fabric.
ReplyDeletePlease show us photos of the completed project when you've worked your magic.
Hi, I have been thinking of you moving and starting all new...I hope and pray it all works out well. Thank goodness family will be near. I will show those cushions as soon as I can clean up the porch after all this rain and wind. Bless you so much. xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie, I feel so sad when I hear about Ray, I don't like to see anyone suffering. May God be with him now, and I'm also thinking of you and Ted during this devastating time.
ReplyDeleteI really like this fabric that you chose. It's definitely something I would choose myself. It's cheerful and bright, just like summer.
Sending love and comfort to you, dear Susie.
