Quilt for Cindy

Made this quilt for a girl who works with my oldest daughter Keri. She has terminal cancer :-(.  Will bring it to her when she is having a good day.

I used Pieces 0' Cake design (free) called Simply Color and changed the borders. I quilted it as I went using an old method I use to use. I hope she likes it and that it gives her comfort.

Myrtle the Turtle

This is a baby quilt I just did for some friends having a baby. Isn't the pattern adorable? I hand appliqued and hand quilted this in about two and a half weeks. Very quick easy pattern.   Hope they like it, we are giving it to them tonight lol. If you double click the picture it will be bigger.

1 less UFO

It is great having a daughter (two actually lol) who quilt. I now have one less ufo since one of them took one home with them. woohooo!

Her First Quilt!!!!!

This is my 11 year old granddaughter Alexis and the first quilt she has ever made! She is giving it to a teacher who had a baby right before the holidays and will present it on Monday. I am so proud of her and the job she did (with a little help from Nana).

A very amazing and humble man

While at the Houston Quilt Show I spent a little time with a most amazing man. His name is Ricky Tims. I am sure most of you have heard of him. I saw him on Simply Quilts a few years ago and loved his easy going ways, both in attitude and quilting. He freed me up to know that it was ok to not always use a ruler. Amazingly freeing. But I digress. See what I found out after spending some time with him in Houston is how amazingly humble he is. And what an amazing musician he is. And how wonderful his hand dyed fabrics are when you see them in person. But as each new person came to the booth ( I helped cover his booth for short periods of time and also worked the cd table at his concert), I saw just how truly humble he is. That endeared me to him forever.

Now I would ask you to do something for me. Listen to the song (it is the title of the new cd) below. If you think it is as amazing as I do, then go to the website and order a copy for yourself and one or more for presents. Also check out the picture of me with Ricky. He was being silly for me and I have to tell you he is so much fun!

Ok I have kept you waiting long enough lol.

 

First the picture.

Now the song.

Dancing Flowers Quilt

I started this and did the top in 2006. Put the top on my (new then) floor hand quilting frame, did about 2-4 inches of quilting and then put the whole thing away till last week. Finished up the top, love the frame, and now it is happy hanging on my wall finally.

Quick Baby Quilt

I decided this past week to make a baby quilt for someone due on October 8th. I know, what was I thinking! But I managed to finish and here it is.
