Quilt for Michelle

Here are pictures of the quilt I started today for my friend Michelle. I need to cut the fabric for the binding and sew it on and it will be done.

12/30 Completed the binding, washed and dried the quilt so this one is all done. Will put in the mail tomorrow.

Surprises for my girls...

As promised I kept these a surprise and THEY did like them....they are both such girly girls look how they both flipped the apron bottom so they could twirl.

For once I am keeping a secret....I made something for Jamie and Ginny for Christmas. They have been saying for so long that it's all about the grand babies when it comes to my quilting and sewing.

So after Christmas I will post pictures of them and their presents, I sure hope they like them.

New Year's Resolution

I know it's early to start thinking about what my new year's resolution will be BUT...No new fabric until I finish the projects I already have purchased fabric. (LOL) this time last year I had no fabric stash and was wondering why my friends on Marie Bostwick's (the author) site were talking about stash and un-finished projects. NOW I know.....but knowing what my resolution was to be I was given a copy of McCall's Quick Quilts as a gift by my friend Vickie, in the magazine they had a quilt I couldn't live without....and I could buy the whole kit at Fat Quarter Shop FatQuarterShop.com I received the email it shipped today.....YEAH!

Baby Shower

Emma Kate thought that it was such a great party and she got so many nice things, the following day she gave us all a scare - She wanted to come early but lucky that the doctors were able to stop the contractions (4 mins apart). Ginny has been on best rest this week and Thursday found out if she will REALLY take it easy she can go back to work part time.

Darlene hosted the baby shower for Ginny and it was such a great time. Thanks you are owed to many. Ginny and Josh received many nice things but my birthday/christmas gift to my mother was the best gift. I bought her plane ticket from Fort Lauderdale to Greenville. She arrive on Wednesday and had a few days with Jamie, Rob and Annabelle. She was a big help to Jamie on the drive down for the shower. Josh and Ginny we happy that Gigi made it to the shower.
