My Favorite Wedding Gift

Here is a photo of what I like to make as a wedding gift. This is one I made for my friend, Mary. Sometimes I use the couple's wedding colors. My friend Teena shared the pattern with me. When I unpack my sewing I can post the pattern if anyone is interested.

Moving

I have spent all week packing. Moving from Texas to Arkansas. Wonder how all my sewing will fit in the new sewing room. Will be interesting. Looking forward to getting this blog going when i get moved. See ya then.

Fabric Bookmarks

I know several who are looking for a fabric bookmark idea. I loved this technique from Pink Chalk Studio. I plan to use the design of a flower or folk art image. (First I have to get this pellon from JoAnns before I move away from a JoAnn's).

Card Making Class

Thinking of a project that is not "King size"

I will have to come up with another quilt for me. Thinking of doing a bed topper or a bed "runner". Here is the book I got at Linda's shop, Remember Me Quilt Shop.

Flower Basket

This was a beginner challenge some years ago. I can't wait to do another dimensional flower wall hanging. I have been collecting coral colored fat quarters for my next one.

Heart Wall hanging

This is my second heart wall hanging. It was fun to do. I need to get a picture of Becky's. It is really pretty. I love it.

Shoo Fly quilt for Derrick and Melissa.

I didn't think I could finish another king quilt this year. I love the scrappy look. My DH helped me put this in the frame for pen basting.

I love flowers, the bigger the better.

I thought my sewing room needed a splash of color.

Allen's quilt finally finished

Each block consists of 8 pieces. I hand pieced the majority of it. I decided to finish it using the sewing machine. I didn't think I would live long enough to get it finished at the rate I was going. (2 years to hand piece it).

Another eagle on my design wall.

This pattern gives instructions for fused applique but I am doing needle turn with the exception of the head. Kinda doing a few different techniques of applique along with fused. This is a pattern from Keepsake Quilting.

A few less UFO's

First shown here is my Ricky Tims Harmonic Convergence, (not sure it came out right). Next, for my husband, a photo wall hanging with family photos inserted in the pockets. Then a miniature from a miniature magazine. (I tried to collect all the miniature magazines. I absolutely love miniature quilts!)
Last is my Amish like table topper. This was from a quilting lesson from Merrily. She is great and I love her quilt shop.

My quilting family in Arkansas

Here is a photo taken May 2009 of my quilting buddies in Arkansas.I sure do miss them.
Sitting left to right is Phyllis Bailey, Margaret Wilburn, Maureen Hoggins, and Carol Lewis. Standing left to right is Gail Hunger, Nancy Miller, Sue Bailey, Mary Borus, Mary Dedera, Jan Lawson, and Sharry Neumann. We all have our own special talents but we love and support each other more than anything.

Color Me Happy

I am new to blogging. I spend way too much time reading blogs and not making one myself. Not sure I have the time to even learn how to do it. I may try.

I am happy in my little spot of this world, just quilting and sharing life with my wonderful husband and running around every chance I get with my sister, Becky. Outside of missing my son, grandkids and fur-kids, life is good.
