New Baby Born


Baby Gabriel John was born on December 19 which happens to be my birthday also. He is a very welcome new addition to our family. Can not wait for the new parents to bring the baby to see me and spend the week with us.

Big Block Beauty



Carmen (from the Yahoo group One Stitch at a Time) released some quilt patterns she calls Big Block Beauties. This is one of the patterns.

I used my fabric a little different in the quilt so I got the look of a star .

Myster Quilt With Borders


The borders are on the quilt and what a difference it made. The borders pulled all the colors together and made a big difference in the way it looks.

Mystery Quilt


Finished piecing the mystery quilt and put the blocks together. It is a trip around the world.

Itty Bitty Quilt


I had some samples from a store and decided to make a quilt from them. You can see the ruler beside the quilt to see the size of the blocks. I think it will be a cute Barbie quilt for my grand daughter

Starr Hand Dye Fabrics


I fell in love with this color run of fabric and just had to make the little quilt. I have not finished the borders and applique but I was happy with the quiltlet. The squares were cut at 2 inches.

Allison's Flower of Hope Block


I finished the real blocks and mailed them to Carmen. Several of the members of the yahoo group (One Stitch) have volunteered to make the Allison's blocks. We are all using white on white backgrounds and green for the leaves but everyone has picked the color they want to use for the flowers.
Carmen is making the quilt for her friend with all the blocks.

Allisons Flower of Hope Block EQ Version


Carmen (from the Yahoo Group) drew a block for a friend of hers with some medical problems. I put the block in my Electric Quilts program so we could see how it would look and work out the

instructions for it.

Mystery Quilt Clues #2 and #3



This is a picture of clues 2 and 3. Both clues use the same block. I really enjoyed working with this quilt. I pulled the colors for the quilt from an Oriental print. I was really suprised at how the colors worked out as well as they did.



Mystery Quilt


This is clue #1 from a mystery that I did for the One Stitch at a Time Yahoo Group. The mystery (called All in the color family) is going on right now but Carmen who is the group owner created a test group so we can test the instructions before the pattern goes to the group. Hopefully we will catch any problems with the patterns this way. I will be posting my blocks as the instructions for each clue are released to the group.

Picure of my son


I just got this picture of my son and wanted to post it. I have been asked about my children and now I have them both posted for all to see. Soon there will be a new baby picture posted. Can not wait.

I got in pictures of my daughter and my grandbabies



I was so happy to get pictures of my daughter and grand babies yesterday.

I do not get to see them because they live on base in Hawii and I miss them terribly.
