At Last...the FINISHED QUILTS!




It was a long and winding the road, the trip to finish these damn quilts. Oops did I say that out loud? I didn't mean it...it just seemed to take forever and a day. Well, not Sharie's quilt. I actually whipped that puppy out quite quick. It's just that I told her I'd make it way over a year ago that made it seems so long. I will embroider the baby's name and birth date once she gets here.

Anyways, I think the effort was worth it. They are both gorgeous and I'll be proud to hand them over along with the Mother's Quilts and Joseph's Quilt.

The canvases are the ones I decoupaged for my nephew, Dustin. My sister cross stitched the little panels but couldn't understand how to glue them on artists' canvas...lol she sent duck canvas but hey that's OK! You know I don't do Halloween, but I think they turned out pretty good.

It's cloudy and raining. Jack is home because the job site was a mud pit. I can hear the AFA Blue Angels circling overhead in preparation for Graduation wednesday but I can't see them. I hope it dries up soon.

I am NOT a slacker (I just play one on the Internet)


Yo people! Lest you think I have been slacking off in my absence from posting and other online activities THINK AGAIN!


Here's a short list of what I have been doing...I will try to name the pictures in order.

#1) Working on Leslie's Ravens and Roses Moley for the IME. Not working on the hat as I don't "knit hats for sailors for Lent":P

#2) I cut purple and yellow for art quilts

#3) I cut purple and silver/gray after an extensive search told me these will be hot colors for 2009

#4) Sewed blocks inspired by a friend's outfit. She better not sit in front of me again wearing it. I might cut it right off her back >:)

#5) Gathering all extra blocks sewn from remainders of my kit samples for possible sale at quilt guild or on etsy.com

#6) Working on the Celtic Autumn kit sample inspired by the trims and fabrics from Leslie

#7) Knitting on my Cable Luxe Tunic

#8) Working on a doofy hat in the darkest blue for my dancing buddy, Babs (I love you smookums xoxoxoxoxxo no it's not for Warrin... it never was... it was always for you you you)

Well I tried this twice. I have no clue where the last 6 pictures went. I guess blogger ate them. Maybe another time or maybe I'll follow Christina's lead and find somewhere else to blog
