Hurts were here!

George and Ginny Hurt were here this weekend. They spent Thursday night with us which was fun. We got to catch up with each other. We had dinner with them and Gadberrys and Sheppards at Habib's. Love that place....such yummy food. I got to quilt a quilt top for her. She made it for her grandson who turned 8 and was baptized today. (their reason to visit Maryland!)

Before and After!

I have finished the outside of the computer armoire that I bought on Craig's List. I just have to organize the inside next. I also bought some paint for the kitchen and laundry room, so I when I get it all painted I will include pictures of that too :o)

I Love Scraps!

I love scraps and scrappy quilts! Bonnie Hunter came and spoke to our quilt guild last year and I really enjoyed her lecture and trunk show of quilts. This is one of her quilts in progress... I started doing the things she suggested and then bought her book 'Scraps & Shirttails'. I wanted to include one of her links to some information that I didn't want to loose and would be able to find quickly.
Here are some of my scraps....
I have these in my sewing room and Gordon asked "What are these?"
Me - "Oh...those??....they are for a quilt sample I am making for my business for a Memorial Quilt. I didn't think you would want me cutting up your shirts!!" I'll post pictures as I make my scrappy quilts!

Finished Winnie!

Here is the finished Winnie the Pooh quilt.

More of the Disney t-shirt project

Okay - I've been working on the display t-shirt quilt for Jomax - the store where I will be teaching how to make a t-shirt quilt in March. Here are some pictures of the process...


I will post more as I work on it this week!

Projects I have finished

Hi Everyone,

I have finished a few projects so I thought I would share. This is a quilt that was a consignment from a lady that liked my display quilt at the Liberty High Craft show. I finally finished it! I machine quilted this quilt for someone else.
This is my second quilt from her! woohoo! Hopefully I will get more quilts from her in the future. I finished these little scrap bags last night. I will use them next to my sewing machine and cutting table for the thread scraps, etc. I thought they turned out cute.

This is my next project...a sample t-shirt quilt for Jomax. I will be teaching this class in March! I will show you the results.

The week before Christmas...

I have had a busy couple of weeks. I finished my first customer's quilt and a friend, Deon Tait, finished her daughter's quilt, and I did baking with Tricia and a new sister in the ward, Mary Halsey. This picture shows my portion! So you can imagine how many cookies we actually made!
We also went to my work party at Turf Valley, went to a Christmas party at Seaman's in the ward where we had a 'White Elephant' gift exchange. I got "Mr. Bill" (oooohhhh noooo!) and Gordon got the humongous TV remote! (You will be seeing more of Mr. Bill in our future travels!) We had a good time. Last night we had dinner with other friends, Taits, Stephens, and Bettridges of Hampstead ward. The food was yummy and we played Hit or Miss. It was a nice evening.

Today was Sunday and we had fun in Nursery as always :o) We did sticker Nativity sets and gave them reindeer candy canes that I made plus we had taken their pictures earlier and made their parents ornaments using their pictures. It was a fun day!
