What I have been working on

This week I have been working on quilting this table runner, designed by Heather Peterson of Anka's Treasures.

It's been a little bit of slow going because I am quilting on my domestic and I want to do each section carefully and right. But I know it's going to be fabulous when it's finished!

Can I get a Whoop Whoop!

Brag About your Beauties

As time goes by

Thirty five years ago, I bought my first rotary cutter.

After attending my first quilting class, the teacher introduced us to a new cutting tool.  No more scissors or templates. This new tool was sure to cut accurately. And this little baby sliced through many miles of fabric for me.

Of course there were other rotary cutters along the way.

But I always felt the Olfa rotary and mat did the best job for me.

So when the anniversary rotary came out.... I had to have this red beauty.

Isn't she sweet? And now I must get busy making the quilt for the newest grandbaby who is expected to arrive early August.

Let's make beautiful music together. For another 35 years!

Happy Quilting!

Sign of the times

This always makes me laugh. If you are heading that way, enjoy!

Happy Easter

Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" She said to him, "Yes Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world." (John 11:25-27)

"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said" (Matt. 28:6)

May you rejoice in knowing that the Savior of this world lives.

Wishing you a Blessed Easter.

Happy Days

This past weekend I had the opportunity to gift this quilt to a little friend. A couple of years ago, while my husband was attending an event, Jackie checked on me, kept me company and brought me special things to eat.We had delightful conversations and, even though she was working, kindled a friendship.

So when we returned to New Jersey, I took the quilt and gave it her.

I think she liked it.!

Happy Quilting!

Bag Lady

Are you a bag lady?

What kind of bags do you like?

Do you have a special pattern you prefer?

I can do pretty well making totes, but working with zippers can be a little challenging for me.

So tell me, are you a bag lady?  Share which patterns you like the best.
