The Sunday paper! We ripped thru the store ads in a flurry looking for Kohl’s. Not there. Then my DDIL called and said to check out Kohl’s on line and put in my old zip. Las Vegas. There he is! My grandson……modeling a sleeper. So I immeditatley called a fellow longarmer in Vegas and asked her to [...]

Okay, where has this week gone?
Here’s the “Trip Around The World” apron. I like to think this was made from her left over quilt squares. Each square is 1″. Set on point. The binding is hand turned, just like on a quilt.
Here is a close up of the fabrics she used.
Isn’t this a pretty one? Notice the [...]

Child’s Apron
This is just the cutest darn apron! Made from muslin and embroidered with cross stitches in reds, greens, pinks. Notice the details? The small pocket and grass green rick rack trim. Can’t help but wonder who made this beauty. And for what little girl? A special birthday or Christmas present maybe? A beautiful piece of handwork.
I’m going to [...]

Oh, how I love the warm days and cool nites. The trees are starting to change color, and the days are getting shorter. I want to share with you my favorite fall quilt. The rail fence pattern is made from 2 1/2″ strips I had in my stash. Very scrappy. The applique was done on my longarm [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIDEN!
Our youngest grandson turns 1 today. We are heading to Milwaukee on Sunday to help celebrate. The year past so quickly. Isn’t it funny… when you’re a kid a year goes by so s-l-o-o-o-w. Then, the older we get the faster the clock ticks. Like, how can it be September already? Where has this year gone?
Isn’t he adorable? [...]

Wow, it’s been a long week. And it’s not even over yet. With Mike having Monday off I’ve been running a day late. I was able to quilt the black & white October wedding quilt. Now just to have the label made and get the binding on. Heck, I have plenty of time!
It’s hard to see the quilting [...]

Wow, 2 new toys in 2 days! Must be Christmas. It all started when my wireless headphones died. I have had this set for 5 years. I wear them almost everyday while I work. I can listen to music, TV, books, whatever, it makes the time go by so much faster.
As you can see the new set is about [...]

I’m so happy that it has stopped raining! At least, for awhile. Look what Mike was up to. Well, somebody has to do it.
I finished up a customer quilt this morning. I loved how it turned out. I used a “contemporary” Baptist fan pattern on it. Contemporary because the lines do not meet. Notice the 1/4 [...]
