Where's Rusty?

Last month Rusty entered a raffle to help a sick kitty and the lucky little bugger won! Lynne, a talented quilter, finished his custom quilt and we couldn't be more thrilled. Rusty claimed it in a matter of seconds. Life is good for one spoiled cat.

I Believe in Pillows

Cute huh? I made this for our counselor at school. She truly believes in every student and has more patience that is humanly possible. It comes from a deeper belief in a higher authority. I heart Nancy. I left the half square triangles like little pockets. I plan on making one with prairie points next.

Sedona

Beautiful Sedona! Here is a picture of the mountains from the front porch of the local quilt shop. The shop was bright and happy. Everything was displayed beautifully and the staff was helpful, not hovering. I found fabric for my in the planning stages beach quilt. I also found a nice house-cat sitting gift for my mom. My husband said that the shady porch was nice as well :)

Halloween Block Swap

I have my Halloween fabric ready to go! It is a 2 block swap, simple 9-patch and then something "themed". I chose the theme of "boo". After a few sketches, I have it all planned. I'm thrilled that another swap group was opened up!

Counting the Days

Today was my first official day of summer vacation. It started with a meeting at school, a rushed lunch, and a drive to UCLA Medical Center with my mom. Not one visit with my sewing machines. Didn't even touch a piece of fabric. It has to get better.

Counting the Days

School will soon be out. Testing is almost over, Open House is lurking around the corner, more testing and then SUMMER. I've had a very productive sewing season since my last post. I've made 4 baby quilts, 2 diaper bags, over 4 dozen really cute burp pads, a beautiful batik lap quilt, and two comfort quilts.

Next up will be a Hawaiian quilt for my son. I also want to launch my etsy site and see if I can make a little money.

Giveaway!
