I'm Back!

Graduation is over and the summer has just begun. I finally have more time to BLOG. Here is my graduate with big brother and big sister. I can't believe he is on his way to college. Congratulations Joseph!

Pay It Forward

Let's just say I was having a really bad day on Saturday when this package arrived from my Pay It Forward Pal, Perry. Wow, try and say that 5 times really fast. Anyways all this terrific stuff was inside and guess what, my mood changed dramatically. Its amazing what a little fabric can do for your disposition. Thanks again , Perry!! Here is a picture of all my goodies! Charms, napkins, coasters, tablerunner, pin cushion and I love the card. I love it so much I might have to pay it back! Enjoy the day!

I'm Back with my WRAPPED CANDY QUILT!!!

Wow, after a long hiatus it's good to start posting again. Kimberly keeps sending me messages saying my BLOG misses me! LOL Anyways, I have been away so long working on my latest pattern. My good buddy Libby Ledford quilted it for me and it is beautiful!! She did a candy border around the edges. I couldn't wait to get it home and put the binding on!! I will be teaching this quilt on the cruise in March...BAJA here I come. My skin is as white as my quilt. I hope I don't blind anyone. It's great to be back in blog land!

Christmas is over?

I can't believe it. Just yesterday was my last post on December 2nd, oops. I almost forgot my password. I am enjoying every bit of my 6 days off. Working on a new pattern for the quilting cruise. Hopefully I will have the top together before I go back to work. Here is just a sample.

Think of candy (Good and Plenty), sprinkles, and candy wrappers.

The Decorating Begins

I love snowmen and I love vintage Christmas. Here is a nice combo of both. I will be hauling out the ornaments and Christmas tree tomorrow. I'm feeling very nostalgic these days. Now that my children are almost grown and starting their own lives I seem to reverting back to my childhood memories. I was lucky enough to still have our old ornaments from the 50 's and 60's and every now and then I pick up one or two up at an antique store. I remember the silver tinsel trees with the light colorwheel underneath that made the tree change colors. My sister and I would lay underneath that tree for hours, no peeking at the presents of course.
