Playing on the Computer

I"ve been playing on the computer! Click on my Dear Jane quilt picture on my Progress List and see what you get!

Then click on the Civil War Diary Quilt picture on my Progress List and see what you get! (I've got a lot more to add to this one, just haven't scanned the blocks yet!)

A Year for Finishes

I decided this was going to be the year I concentrated on getting things quilted that have been laying around for a few years, and to finish some things I had started. So here is another finish! I made this top years ago and loved it, but was always afraid to get it quilted (or do it myself). Now that I have an awesome custom quilter it was time! Don't you just LOVE that purple in the quilt!

Above is a doll quilt I made for a small friend.

And here are some premie quilts I made up with scraps!

It was bound to happen...

Come on. You guessed it. You just knew. I've spent 10 years wanting to make a Dear Jane quilt and never have. Sure I started once and made 5 blocks and thought they looked crummy - so put them away and didn't touch it again. I even broke down twice and made mini Dear Janes with only a few blocks. I hemmed and hawed. I just couldn't bring myself to buy 12 yards of background fabric. I found excuse after excuse.

Well I did it. January 31st - my first Dear Jane block is done. Sure it is only a 9 patch, but it is a start! And I am all organized now with binder and software to make it happen. And the background fabric. Well I decided nope, not happening. I'm making it scrappy. I'll make most of my blocks with shirtings. when I get closer to having it done I"ll find a fabric for the thin sashing strips. I'm using my stash. Even have my second block prepped for applique and the third is in my head!

Yup, it was bound to happen sometime. It's not like I ever quilt or make anything else - right?

More notebook covers

Wheh! My sister had asked me to make 3 more note pad covers for her to cheer up some friends that were having a hard year. So I spent this weekend making 3 for the jr legal size pad's and then 3 of the little notebook ones! Aren't they cute! The little notebook ones are for my sister, a bday gift for me to give and one for me!

Ice in Oklahoma

So they always told me how it was warm in Oklahoma, and didn't snow much. Well Holly moved there this summer and they have had nothing but snow and ice this winter. I think she took it with her!

Check out her AWESOME ice pictures from this morning.

Late Christmas Gift

Look what I got in the mail today from my friend in Australia! The book "Friends for Christmas" by Lynette Anderson, a cute punchneedle kit and a fun rag doll pattern. Also a great snowman - but I set him out already and forgot to take a pic. Oh and don't forget the cookies - which my husband and daughter grabbed immediately!

And then this wonderful small quilt that she made for me! She used a pattern from a book and fabrics that she bought while visiting here last Oct. I just love this!

Thank you Jody!!!!!! I LOVE everything.
