Here's a video of my daughter singing and playing "Back to December" by Taylor Swift.  Be sure to subscribe to her channel on YouTube   "LivLaughLuvSing"

there is something refreshing about blue and white quilts (also blue and yellow) Although you can't really see it well in this photograph, my friend Dolly made this with a sweet little toile print.  I think it is going to be the sweetest little quilt.

Isn't this an amazing quilt? My quilting pal Jill really outdid herself this time. I just love the color gradation she created.  Some of my quilting buddies just might recognize the little scrappy quilt in the foreground--it is Jills' Charming Chamberlain which is near completion. We exchanged blocks for what seemed like forever and now most of us have completed our quilts--what a great keepsake. I will have to include a picture of mine sometime....

Isn't this the cutest little bag? My so talented and prolific friend Gwyn made it while we were in the mountains at our favorite little quilt retreat. If you have never taken the time away for yourself, just make plans and do it! It is so relaxing and inspiring to spend time creating with like minded people....I know I look forward to these little getaways, and I always get quite a few projects done!

 Here are some photos of a little project I finished quilting recently for my friend Nancy. I am looking forward to seeing her soon as she always comes as the weather begins to cool here. It is still pretty darn hot out there--triple digits, even. Maybe I will start on some Christmas projects....

okay folks-this is a really amazing book, and if you're interested in starting a blog or just learning about blogging, this is the book to get. It is easy to read and understand and just full of useful information. Check it out and let me know what you think!!

I think this is an amazing quilt...it could make one a little dizzy to work on it tho..
