Greetings all!! It has been an eventful Summer. I am still working on quilts and collecting money for quilts. The auction was a success and I am thinking of doing it again later this Fall.
The update on Melisa is coming to this space soon so watch out here. Summer is nearly over and the kids will be heading out soon. This has been a very deep learning experience and I can say I have come out a different person than when I started. I don't know how much better I am but I do know I am different. Keep checking back every now and then for updates.
Thank you for dropping in

About Me
- Troye
- Hello All! Thanks for visiting the website. Boy howdy I am working hard on my quilts. Each one is different and tells a little something about me. Sometimes I just go random but there is always something special about each one. I'm pretty cool, at least I think so, I laugh a lot and I laugh loudly. I'm delighted you're looking at this website and considering supporting us. Thanks for passing through Miss Troye! Andy will join us and tell you about himself. he loves cooking, tennis, his music and anything Redskins. He will tell you more about himself later.

It is still today where she is but it is yesterday from here. My mother had her birthday. I just finished speaking to her and she was so excited about a fund raiser she and the rest of my family are a part of to help a little boy the know. She said she danced until her feet hurt but she had a great time.
My mother is a wonderful inspiration to me. She has no idea how much her encouraging words mean to me. I can still remember even after all of theses years how she encouraged me to apply to Colorado College. I resisted and I can still see my feet as I walked to the bus stop to go to CC. I got there a whole 90 minutes early for my interview. I remember looking up at the ceiling thinking I will never walk these halls. Well the rest as they say is history.
Mothers are amazing people. You may not always see eye to eye with them but they are a major influence whether they believe it or not.

What a lovely morning
Wow it is a beautiful time of day. The sun is up and it is quiet outside of the house and inside. The hum of the dyer and the ticking of the clck inthe shape of Jamaica is what I can hear. Bliss.
Well I am still working on quilts for Melisa but as well as that I have had a swell of ideas for other projects too that I would like to tackle. There is a calendar competition I want to try my hand at and there are a few quilts I see in my minds eye that I want to put together. I have also been toying with the idea of dying more fabric as the last lot I did came out so beautifully.
I have had two friends in particular inspire me with what they are doing. One in New York and the other in Dubai. I hope we continue to inspire each other.
Andy went off to Tokat yesterday and the first thing he located was a quilt maker. He told me he sat and watched the man sew. He also went looking for the famous Tokat printed fabric or headscarf called a yazma. He sent me a text message to tell me what a one-of-kind-man he is. I have to give it to him he really is. A very fine man indeed.
Any way I must press on with today's activities but before I leave this spot I will savour the moment a few minutes more, before I hear small feet or bigger feet shuffling down the stairs.
I am having a lovely cup of tea and I wish Sandy was close by to drink one with me
have a wonderful day
