An OTS Update...or, What's Jeanette Up To These Days...


It has been almost 6 months since Jeanette's "retirement" from teaching at Whitlock's, but you're not going to find her lazing her days away! Between all of the kids, grandkids and great-grands, not to mention sewing wedding dresses and, of course, quilting, she has been keeping herself busy. While On The Stitch is still going strong, she has been able to celebrate a wide variety of achievements and joys with family!




Josh and his bride to be Anezka
A few highlights from this year include meeting her future granddaughter-in-law from the Czech Republic and making an amazing wedding dress in a week during January. We'll show photos later as we don't want Josh to see the dress before the wedding!










Andrew, Jeanette and little Shep





Along with marriages come babies, and finding out great grandbaby number 4 will be joining us this summer was a wonderful surprise! Can't wait to meet Andrew and Jeanette's (yep, she's little "Nettie" named after her Grammie) little guy, Shep!!










Poppa and Grammie with some of the little grandkids



Jeanette has also been enjoying quilting as well as doing some fun sewing projects. She especially likes to be able to make special goodies for the littlest grandkids and great-grands!





                                                                                                              
Another awesome thing was there were THREE college graduations in the family this May. 








After raising a family and working as a middle school librarian in Grants Pass for a number of years, daughter Dawn earned her Bachelors Degree from George Fox University. 

Whitney's nephew Alden is so excited for her!












After graduating from University of Southern California two years ago, daughter Whitney earned her Masters Degree from Willamette University on Mother's Day.









And after just three years, granddaughter Carissima earned her Bachelors Degree in History from Christendom College in Virginia.



 


Stay tuned for more quilting adventures with Jeanette as she keeps going On The Stitch!!
