Kamryn's first quilt project EVER!

Image my excitement!! Today, Kamryn made her first quilt project. She is 4 years old!! She was not allowed to cut pieces or to iron, but she did all the other work. She chose the fabrics, designed the placement and did the sewing. We set the foot on the table so she could press it with her hand and we set the speed so I could control the safety issues. She is very articulate and has picked up so quickly, I guess I need to teach her correctly, because she WILL remember what she is taught.

 She made this small piece for her cousin, Hannah (8) to use when playing with her baby dolls. We only made a top, did not get around to quilting yet, but she was happy with it unquilted. That is why I called it a quilt PROJECT.All through the process, she would say, 'Hannah is going to love this'.

Oh, I am busting with excitement!!!!!!!!

Interesting skies from Oakland, TN.

This video was taken yesterday after a brief flurry of snow. It came and left so quickly that I did not get my camera in time to catch it but I wanted to share this amazing video of the view after. Pretty amazing, nature gives us so much to appreciate.

I finished mom's Leftover quilt

I had given mom these fabrics to do this quilt. Some of the blocks were already pieced and I lost interest. It is funny how I can lose interest and then she finishes it and it is amazing. I quilted it with free motion swirls, that I just love to do. I went ahead and did the binding for her, too. The backing fabric that I used was also fabric that I lost interest in, but made a perfect backing for this one. If you keep the fabric long enough, you find a use for it,ha!ha!

She is happy with it and that is all that matters to me! you can see a few more photos of this quilt in my public photo album with the same name.

Quilt made for my Daughter in law for Christmas

I made this Sassy Sixteen quilt for my new daughter in law for Christmas. She was excited to say the least. If you look closely you will see all the fabrics with skulls and cross bones, which is something she loves. I think the fabrics worked great together and I know she was elated!

And the number is 26!

Gari is the winner!!!!!!! Gari, I will be sending you an email to get your shipping info. Thanks so much for helping find this little quilt a good home!

Christmas giveaway!

Hey, fellow quilters! I made this little quilt about 7 years ago. I have lost the desire to finish it, so I decided to do a giveaway! Here is how I will decide who gets it:
Comment on this post and give a 2 digit number that is your guess. Posting it will ensure that others don't guess the same number. Once the correct number is given, I will tell you who won. If the number is not guessed by December 20th, the closet to my number without exceeding it, will win. I will even pay shipping to get it to its new home! Only condition that I have is that I DO NOT want to quilt it, so you know what that means.

Good Luck!

My heart flutters with excitement!

Oh my gosh! My heart is just fluttering with excitement, my new 'Zen Quilting Workbook'is here! It is by Pat Ferguson and inspired by Zentangle. I am so excited, that is all I can say!
