Good Morning, a new day, a new week, and a new month. 


I just finished this special order for a customer, her request was black and white.  It turned out really nice, I will be seeing her on  Thursday. I enjoy making bags, I have about 14 bags ready for the Christmas Bazaar in early December.

I took my ice cream quilt to be quilted, I will bind it and it will then be off to Moore, Oklahoma. See photo in last weeks blog.

I have some items to be cut out for the coming week to sew.  I have a Birthday gift for the middle of July, and would like to start on a new quilt. I hope I can sit and sew, without interruptions. (LOL)




Have a super week and hope it is full of stitches.

Hope all my readers are having a good day.  My DD Sandi and myself are making quilts to send to Moore, Oklahoma for the 1st/2nd graders for the opening of their new school.  The school will  celebrate the first day back with an ice cream social.  This was a call for all quilters to make and donate a ice cream quilt.  I hope this quilt will wrap around a student with many hugs. 





  Pattern was publish in the Jan/Feb 2006 Quiltmaker Magazine

I just sent the above and below quilts to Oklahoma for a couple of children.  I hope these quilts will provide hugs and comfort.  May God bless you and your families.

Been very busy the last couple of months sewing handbags, I sell these bags at the Christmas Show in November, I really enjoy making these bags, and I do sell a few.  The three smaller bags are my newest collection.  They are called "Snap Bags" The handles can be removed and a new cover can be added.  I will soon be making come Christmas covers.

Hope you are all well and doing good, love to hear from anyone, have a great week.  We are being soaked in rain,  lol, probably won't get any rain in August.  See you all next week.

Hello All I Am Back!


It has been a long slow road, but here I go. I have had some health issues, and hopefully I have all things in control.  I hope to back once a week again
I went to a mini class at a great Quilting Store near my home.  I took a class on making these Snap Frame Handbags.  Had a good time and a great teacher.  Actually they are so easy that you want to keep on making them.  The handles are the most expensive item, maybe I can find them cheaper on line.



I had a special order for two bags made alike.  This isn't my favorite thing to do, but that is what the customer wanted.  I try not to make two bags of the same material. The customer was thrilled and pleased.  This pattern is a favorite and most requested of all my bags.



The President of our quilt guild  made a challenge for the year called.  "What my home means to me?
I was always hearing that my home is my castle and that is where I got my idea from. The wall hanging couldn't be any larger than 24 x 24 inches and must contain the white fabric given to us.  I was lucky and was rewarded  3rd place.  I looked high and low for a pieced castle and had no luck.  While talking to my DD, she found one that was paper pieced.  OMG that was more of a challenge than the project.  I did a few but really got mixed up and trying to remember doing the piecing in reverse was a trying experience.  Thank God for telephones.  Sandi (DD) worked with me and helped me finish this project.


Hope you all have a super week,  Take a look at all the beautiful quilts mentioned on the blogs at the right, the quilting community is full of great people and lots of talent.
