Here are the "bellybuttons" or centers of the X-block quilt I am working on with 2 of my friends. Actually we are each making our own quilt, but we are all using the X-block tool and patterns.
I have photos of 2 customer quilts I did, but I keep forgetting to ask their permission to publish pictures of their quilts. I know it is probably not "legally" necessary, but I just think it is the right thing to do. I would love to hear your opinion!!
I actually quilted one of my own quilts this past weekend. I guess it is the "cobbler" syndrome. The cobbler's children had holes in their shoes, and the quilter is usually working on someone else's quilt. Hey, I am blessed to be working at a job I LOVE, so I will squeeze my quilts in when I can. Since the photos of that one are on hubby's camera and he left yesterday for Illinois, I guess I am just teasing you with all my typing and no pictures. At least I'm typing!!! I promise to get pics up this weekend!
Don't sweat the small things and don't smell the sweaty things!
The big siamese looking cat
is my cat, Dusty - he is
16lbs. and if you look in 
the hole below him to the
right is little Missy - she is
only 6 lbs., but "rules the roost"!
This is a close up of a quilt I started in a class taught by my friend Diane. It is a "Fun and Done" quilt pattern which is a variation on "quilt as you go". It was a lot of fun in class, but then I got bored and I am glad it is finally done.
I really loved the colors, which is one of the reasons it is not still in the UFO pile and - "bonus" - all the fabric came from stash!!
I finished quilting a quilt for a friend of mine today. She did such a great job piecing it, I wanted to do some special quilting for her. Here is a closeup of what I did in the border. I used one of the new rulers I bought at the International Quilt Festival in Chicago.
Brooke is almost 6 months old already - unbelievable but true! It sure is different being a grandma vs. mom. Here is the latest photo of the cutie patootie! That is her mom (my daughter) Stefani at her High School graduation. I sure am proud of both of them!
I am going to TRY and update this on at least a weekly basis with a photo or 2 of what I am working on, finishing, or just dreaming about. Wish me luck!
