Baby quilt done!

My husband wanted a quilt for a coworker that just had a baby boy. He asked me to whip one up quickly in my spare time. "What spare time?" I thought to myself. Oh well, he asked nicely. Here is what I came up with. I cut 5" squares in four bright colors and the sashing was 2-1/2" strips from a Michael Miller stripe with 2-1/2" cornerstones of a multi dot. I then added a 5" outer border and before long I was done!!! I decided a soft block ball might be fun when he gets a little older so I made a matching one for the quilt. I have a pattern available for the ball on my website. It is called "Minkee Soft Blocks" by Cotton Ginnys.

Wool Quilt

I finally finished my wool applique quilt. I had it done several years ago in cotton fabric and decided to redo it about one year ago in wool. I am so glad I did. It was done on black flannel and I hand quilted it. That alone was an accomplishment. I don't hand quilt very much. I used Thermore Batting, which made it a little easier on my fingers and is nice and thin for wall hangings.

My son's First painting

My son received some instruction from a professional artist and this is the result--his first painting. I love it! He let me have it and now I am off to get it framed.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This was one of my favorite cards I received this year. It was from one of my husband's coworkers. It was created by NuArt.
"Peace on Earth"--wouldn't that be one of the best presents. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!

Also, I am having a Year-End Clearance sale at my website. Lots of fabrics have been marked down. Stop over and check out the bargains.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My grandson made this cute little turkey at preschool. We are so thankful for him. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoys time with family and friends.

I love this quote by Erma Bombeck:

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence. --Erma Bombeck

I also wanted to let you know that my sister is giving away some great items on her blog. We all love free stuff. Just leave a comment with your favorite color and quilt pattern and they could be yours.

I Love Fall!

I just love the fall trees!

I have one Hydrangea out of 8 that has not stopped blooming. The other seven are dying and this one still thinks it's summer!
