I really have been busy................

I did these for the girls' teachers. Adi's 5th grade teacher has an old antique bearclaw bathtub in her room full of pillows so I did a set of pillowcases for the reading tub.












I did a wall hanging for Audra's 3rd grade teacher. It turned out very nice, I wish I had done a lap quilt or throw size quilt for her. This is a Moda fabric. I just love the green polka dots.




















Also, my dear SIL, Ruby, and I did this purple king size quilt for a friend who just got married last weekend. This was our first attempt at strip-quilting as Rub usually does applique and I usually do simple 9 patches and pieced quilts. It was machine stitched in multi-colored pastel daisies. Annie's wedding colors were pastel blue and purple so we picked out those fabrics first. Then we found the matching yellow floral that really pulled it all together. Plus, her favorite color is purple so we chose that for the most dominant color. We are pretty proud of ourselves. Annie was already showing it off at the reception so I feel that she truly loved her gift.

Make It Stop!!

I haven't posted in quite a while.........long month of April. Spring used to be my favorite time of year but the loss of Aaron kindof changed my view of things round-about this time of year.

I'll try to get on a more structured schedule now that the girls are out of school.

Rain rain, Go Away!
Come again another day!!

We are swamped around here, no flooding of buildings or homes but it just keeps dragging on, and on, and on......my garden is floating, my driveway is floating and my basement isn't doing the greatest right now either. (i have to keep the foundation drainage pump going to keep it from soaking in) I'm sure one of these days I'll b begging for a little moisture but as of now, I've had enough.
