Live, Laugh, Love

My step-son Kale asked me to make this for one of his friends, David. Actually, David already has one that I made for Kale to give to him as a house-warming gift. Now, David wants to give one to his dad, so in the midst of getting all the quilts done before Christmas, I put this together and got it shipped out.

It's about 30" x 36" and has a hanging sleeve.

A little tight meandering around the words and beadboard quilting in the border.

I hope he likes it!

Spring Break in Vegas Projects

It was a wonderful retreat and I'm ready to do it all over again. My committee members Julie, Marla, Angie, Debbie and Peggy were great and although I hesitated to delegate too much in the beginning, I appreciate all their work.

I did get a couple things finished at the retreat, but not very much.
I made this wall hanging for my stepson and his wife to give to some friends who are moving.



Then I sewed these pieces that were leftover from this quilt together using the Baby Bricks pattern. I have this terrible habit of keeping leftovers thinking I'll make something else when I should be cutting them into strips or nickles, or 2.5" squares or something. I have a basket of ziplock bags full of this kind of thing. Anyway, I'm happy with the results here.




I got a good start on my Starry Eyed with Countdown to Christmas fabrics. I ran out of kona cream because I had put kona white in the tub by mistake. Luckily, I had some cream leftover from the above wall hanging so I could get started. I had another piece at home so I have worked on it a bit more this week.



Sunday afternoon I finished the borders on this one, which I must quilt this weekend after I do 2 quilts for Cherry.
