this is another quilt made by my friend Vicki. It was fun to quilt the feathers and the mctavishing behind the birds. It inspired me to make one too...now if I can only finish it! one of my many UFO's. I've never stopped to count how many of projects I have currently in process, but I am getting much more accomplished with the help of the statler:)

what a great way to use up all those scraps lying around....

I have always like black and white checks and really think this place rocks!

here is another quilt by Vicki Olson, another version of the one block wonder

here's a cute little shot of Sammie all tuckered out after halloween. What is it about little dogs that makes them so adorable? He is such a little character, so full of personality

this quilt was made for my son Zach because he has always loved cars, and one of our favorite vacation spots is the beach

this picture is of the log cabin quilt I made for David for our anniversary, inspired by one my friend Diane made. It looks great on our sleigh bed

my quilt buddies and I fell in love with this quilt made by our friend Gwyn, so we did a block exchange for 15 months, making 12 blocks each month to exchange. i had my friends sign the back. i just love the graphic quality of this scrappy quilt

some pics of my latest quilt. when I told Hannah it was for her, I made her day. She has been having a rough time of it lately--mean girls and all that. the panel on the quilt is also on the back of the quilt. now i just need to make a label to put on the back

sometimes life gives you lemons, right???? you know how that goes---my sweet little girl was diagnosed with scoliosis and after 4 months of observation her curve progressed 5%.....so she now has to wear a brace about 14 hours a day in the hopes that we can stop the progression and prevent surgery. these things have come a long way since I was a kid, and we were able to get this design, hoping to make it a little easier on her. She doesn't have to wear it to school, but most of the rest of the day, and at night when her spine does the most growing. i keep teasing her telling her she looks kinda like lady gaga when she wears it. please send positive thoughts and prayers our way:)

this is the front and back of a quilt my friend Vicki sent me to quilt. aren't these the most beautiful colors? i love to work with batiks. pretty cool treatment for the back of the quilt, too...these colors remind me of the ocean...wish i was there

mothers day

Today was mother's day and the day my blog was born! I am also blessed with 2 awesome kids, 2 cats and 2 dogs. I don't know how soon I will have my new baby(this blog) up and running, but hope it will be soon. How about a snap of my sweet little chihuahua;)
