Stitch Me Up!

I signed up!

For my very first blog hop.

I'm so excited!

If you'd like to join in check out

Jane's Fabric and Quilts

for all the details.

I was busy being Grandma this week.

Watched the 3 youngest grandkids while Mommy and

Daddy are on a (much needed) sunny vacation.

What a joy getting all those angel kisses.

Here is a picture of the art project we made.

Could not get them to look at the camera, 

smile and hold up their signs.

One things for sure.....

Grandmas need a nap everyday to. 

I just have to finish binding my

 "rescued" nine patch.

 Oh,what a beauty!

Wait til you see......

Pinwheels of Yesteryear

A finish for ME!

I actually started this quilt three years ago at retreat.

Or four?

You know how I love 30's reproduction prints.

Such cheery fun fabrics!

The pattern, by Barbara Campbell, was free 

from Hancock fabrics. 

I think this red floral backing fabric is perfect,

don't you?

Of course, polka dots for the binding.

I have one of my "rescue" tops on the machine now.

Two in a row for me......yeah!!!  

Have a great weekend.

A New Year.....A New Start

While I'd love to promise that I am going to be a better blogger from now on.....

all I can say is I'll try. Harder.

For those of you that blog, don't you feel like you just run out of interesting things to share?

I sure do! 

My life is pretty dull compared to some on the web

(not that I am complaining mine you....drama free is good)

AND

I'm not nearly as productive as some of my fellow bloggers.

Almost makes me feel lazy! LOL

I quilted a few customer quilts this holiday that I'd like to share.

The photos aren't the best.

 I miss my front porch in winter!

Chris made 2 Laurel Burch Christmas quilts.

The fabrics were so fun and bright.

I used metallic gold thread on both quilts.

That black background fabric made the quilting just POP.

Check out this T Shirt quilt Kim made for her son.

I love her orange, grey and black combination.

What a treasure.

Look at this fun print she used for the backing!

Perfect.

I'm so happy the holidays are over, aren't you?

While I love the decorating, baking, eating, 
shopping and family visits

with 6 grandkids it's WILD!

BUT I WOULDN'T CHANGE A MINUTE OF IT!

Hope your having a grand weekend.

We are mourning our Packer loss here.

Well, someone is.  

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about my new love.

It's on tonight!

I know, I'm a little late to the dance.

I played catch up over the holiday 

and watched Season 1 & 2.

Hugs,
