This is my sister-in-law Linda, a wonderful and creative lady. And the picture on the top right is Jane, who does a lot of volunteer work and has been creative for many many years!
This is a picture of me with Carol. If you look over my shoulder you can see the new and orginal design that we worked on!
Good Monday morning. I had the best time Saturday in a quilting class. My sister-in-law asked me to join her in a class presented by Carol Porter--yes, the yo-yo lady!!! I drove to Prosser to the "Sewing Basket" met Carol, Marilyn, the shop owner, Jane, and my sister-in-law Linda. We were there to learn about yo-yos, applique and some neat Clover products. Thank you one and all for a great Saturday!

This is one half of a duo of mini quilts that I got from the Moda Bakeshop! I kept the dark one and gave Vicki the light one. I am in the process of making a large quilt with a similiar pattern with reproductive fabrics. I also got a phone call from my friend Doris. She wants two more quilts: one for her daughter and one for her granddaughter. I said "I'll add them to the list". I am making four for Oh, guess who, for xmas presents!!



This is a picture of my sister's and now mine, friend with her finished quilt. She was excited to get it. I actually worked with Melinda's brother and golfed with her brothers and sisters in law!
This is a picture of my sister and the latest quilt that I have made for her. She actually bought a kit to make it herself and then after a month, sent it to me!!

I am on vacation and am going to my sister's home in Everett. They just finished a quilt shop hop last week but we are going to "hop" all the way to Bellingham! While there, we will put some flowers on our parents graves and have lunch with my son. We will shop hop to the south of Everett on Tuesday and then I will come home Wednesday morning. I will take pictures and tell you all about my good buys when I get back.

Have a great 4th. I would like to stay awake for the fireworks but I am guessing I will be asleep by 9 pm. Enjoy!

OK, OK, a little obsessive: I made two other little table runners but I haven't quilted them yet! Have a great week!

"Gatsby"







Ok, I had a busy week-end. I didn't play golf Friday or Saturday and my new Thyroid meds are kicking in! This is a quilt for my friend's grandson and his wife. It is king size and I made two matching shams.

"Oh Cherry"


I also made a lap quilt with Moda's "Oh Cherry". It is bright and cheerful!

Thimbleberries "Gardener's Touch"


I had two charm packs of Thimbleberries "Gardener's Touch" so I made this cute little table runner. I sewed a light square and a dark square on opposite corners and when I sewed it together, it made a nice triangle square (I don't know what else to call it besides Triangle Square??!!)
