Quilt Retreat...

  I had a great time at Quilt retreat! Janice Minyard, Elaine Berry, Pam Larson, and Kathy Morrison are shown in the picture above. Debbie VanFossen and Barbara Sindlinger were also there. Barbara was the hostess!

 We also spent time at the Madonna Inn at the Quilt Show. Barbara, Kathy and Adena Joseph enjoying a little relaxation time after the show!

 Barbara made 3 of these table toppers, among other things!

 These were my blocks I finished, only 14 more to go!

 Kathy made these cute iron cozies! I want one!!

 Debbie's beautiful modern quilt!

Debbie also made this cute apron. Everyone was very productive, we had a great time! Barbara also brought the video "Call the Midwives". What a great show that was too! Love these quilting ladies!

Back to sewing....

Now that our house is in escrow, I can pull out my machine and start sewing again...at least for a little while. Until the packing begins again (ugh). I am making my sister a quilt who turns 60 this year! I hope she likes it-she says she likes purple :)

Moving...

I haven't posted in awhile, we are moving to another city-so packing has been priority. My poor machine is sad too. Although Lucy does cheer things up!

A few small finishes...

Shabby Fabrics Table Runner, getting ready for Spring!

 Spring Table Runners made for my Mom and Dad's table. I bought the pattern and
fabric pack at Road to California

It's beginning to look like spring...

Spring has sprung in my sewing room!

Kids stuff

I enjoyed learning how to use the new ruler I bought at Road to California.  I don't know if you can tell on this quilt, but the prairie points are blue and red. They are really fun to make with this new ruler. I plan to add the same prairie points to the binding. My friend Debbie VanFossen helped me learn how to use the ruler. You can also check out their website and tutorials at www.quickpointsruler.com

I finished another baby quilt for my great nephew. This one will be going to Oklahoma.
Now on to the next project :)

Fun Fillers...

I took a fun class at Thimble Towne this weekend taught by Cindy Seitz-Krug. It was called fun fillers and backgrounds. I finished the machine quilting and now need to complete my stocking! It was fun to try new things...I loved using the silk thread.
The sailboat is another baby quilt I am working on for another great nephew!
