A day to Remember

I was blessed with the honor of putting out flowers for Sonny this Memorial day. He was a Beloved husband, father, brother, friend and a United States Marine. He fought for our country in Vietnam. He lost his life here due to a tragic motorcycle accident (March 12, 2011), as did his son Chris just 5 years prior. He lost his first son, Terry, at just 6 months old. They are now all together in Heaven. It is so comforting to know where they are but still so different here without them all. 

Remembering all of our Veterans and their families! Thank you for all your service and sacrifices.

Uncle Will's Closet

This is a quilt made by, you guessed it! Julie! Go to her blog and find out all about this wonderful cozy quilt!! She has the coolest ideas! Any way, you can also find some more photos of the quilting in my public albums. We decided that I would do 'free motion' baptist fans on this one. I believe we made the perfect choice!! 

Enjoy!

Afterglow quilt is quilted!

Hey, this quilt was made from leftover from my Free Spirit quilt. I shared my leftovers with my quilting friend Julie and she added some of her own. She named it 'Afterglow'. I completely enjoyed quilting it, I hope to do my sometime soon!!!

Check out more on this great quilt from Julie on her blog. Also, see many photos of the quilting in my public album by the name Afterglow. Let us know what you think!

Kamryn's Quilt drawing

Last weekend, Kamryn and Brayden spent the weekend with me. Kamryn drew me this picture. When I asked her what it was, she said, "It is a Quilt". Ok, why did I not see that? She drew the lines, I assume to represent the piecing! I did not help her, it was all on her own. I think she gets the idea!

April Fool's Day - Julie's delightful wall hanging

Check out the story on this lovely quilt made by Julie Sefton. She has it hanging on her wall at work. What a delightful addition to her work station! Make sure to check out her post today and see more, also you can see the photos I took of the quilting in my Public albums.

Can anybody use this?

What is this? Well, it is thread. Alot of times I have small amounts left on a bobbin that I throw away to free up the bobbin, and I throw them in a small garbage can. This collection of thread MUST be useful to someone to do some decorative type sewing. I have heard of people using it to 'couch' onto an item of clothing or vest or purse, I don't know, creative stuff that I do not partake in. So, if there is anyone here in the US that would like to have it, pls email me and I will gladly send it to you FREE OF CHARGE. I just hate to throw it away.

I think this is a quart size Ziploc bag. Quite a bit of thread and TONS of Colors!

Reflecting back while moving forward!

Just a few of my old favorites, looking forward to the new ones to come!!!! Paducah classes with Mindy Wylie and Dusty Farrell where so worth the drive!! So very inspiring! Also met Jamie Wallen and purchased 2 of his DVD's to learn from him also. ALL of them where delightful to met and talk to....I was in AWE!!!!!!!! 

Quilt Like A RockStar!!
