Quilt Pictures

I wish that I could say that I made these quilts from start to finish because if I had, they would have stayed at my house! So many of the quilts I quilt for others I have a hard time giving back. As I work on them, I fall in love! Maybe tomorrow I will do some piecing as well as some quilting. I have been aching to make some Christmas stockings, those count as quilts if I quilt them right? Check out these spider webs! I love Halloween!

Can you see what the next quilt is? Hint hint...I quilted it in sparkle thread to make it shimmery.

The front of this blue quilt may look like something you've seen before.One of the patriotic fabrics in this table runner had stars in circles. I liked it so much, I used the design in quilting the border. (Click on a picture to see it larger.) This brown quilt had amazing sashing! Here are the answers... Nemo on Ice and Lap Pool

Life is good!

Yesterday my imac was in China and today it is on my desk! FedEx has amazed me for the first time ever. As promised here I am blogging.

This week I was really irritable. I am trying to blame it on pms but it was worse than usual. Here's why: The quilt stores here in Vegas are having their annual shop hop. I have known about it for a while and have been very excited about going. A friend and I had planned on hitting a couple shops Thursday morning. It turned out that one of my mandatory trainings for work was due and Thursday morning was the only time it was being offered. I found out early in the week and was emailing my friend to let her know. Turns out I got interrupted half way through and forgot that I hadn't actually sent the email. It was a mess and hopefully she has or will soon forgive me. There was no way to reschedule because I am at work all weekend. So lame that I planned so poorly!

I was still complaining to my husband tonight that I was so upset about not being able to go and being so inconsiderate to my friend. He said, "Life must be pretty good if that is the worst thing happening." I had to laugh, he was so right.

Milestones

My little girly has lost her first two teeth! She was so stinking cute about it too! She wanted to keep it a secret so she didn't tell anyone her bottom front teeth were wiggly. Tuesday at lunch the first one fell out and she announced it with a big grin!

Also she started kindergarten this year!!! She is one of those kids who just couldn't wait. She ran right in without even saying goodbye on the first day. It has been great to see her growth. The biggest change I have noticed is her penmanship. Praise be to kindergarten teachers who can convince young children to learn this daunting skill. I struggled this summer to get her to write her name well. I knew it was coming and wanted her to be ready. It was a challenge! Now she is writing all upper and lowercase letters with only some occasional help! I love you Mrs. Parks!


The first day of school!
