Still alive and kicking. Not a lot of energy so not getting much done. Shannon and I did take a short vacation the first of June. It was fun. Went to Oregon and then drove the coast of Calif before coming home. Stopped at lots of quilt shops and had a great time. Working on a baby quilt for a great niece. Baby came on the 12th so I guess I better get going.

It has been quite a long time since I posted here.
On April 21st my granddaughter got married. In another week her and her husband will be leaving for Montana. Gueran is in the Airforce and will be stationed there.
I just finished this quilt for my nieces step daughter who has leukemia. Took me forever to finish. I also added an embroidered pillow

I bought this kit a few years ago in Arizona where I was visiting my sister and a friend. Never got around to working on it until this last week. Rather fun and easy to do and very relaxing. I recently bought another of these "quilt magic" kits, this new one is a Christmas theme. Will start it soon I hope. First I plan to make my nieces step daughter a quilt. They just found out she has Leukemia. Bianca is almost 14 years old.

Shannon and I went to a quilt show in Henderson Nv on Sat. It was small but there were many beautiful quilts and quite a few vendors. We were surprised at the number of them that came in from Arizona, Calif and Utah. I was able to buy two dies for my "go baby" cutter on sale. One is a tumbler block and the other an apple core. I started to sew blocks together then realized I had no clue what I was doing :). I read online I need to sew rows then sew the rows together stitching together every other set of blocks then turning the row over and stitching the missed blocks. The seems are very easy with my satin edge foot from creative feet. That lady said curves were a snap with that foot and she was right.

I also decided to stencil the plain blocks in my lap quilt. I have a few more to do but I like it. I also have blocks sewn together for the backing. I have actually been busy with my quilting for a change. Nice.

I just finished this kids quilt today. I couldn't decide what to work on. This quilt was sitting on the machine telling me to finish it so I did. We are going to a quilt show in Henderson next week. The quilt shop where I drop the quilts off is also in Henderson so I can drop it off when we go.

I just finished a lap sized quilt top for myself. I now need to piece a backing and look for or design a quilting pattern for the solid blocks. I have made myself wall hangings, table runners, and place mats but never a quilt of any size for myself.

Sad weekend here in our home. Lost one of are dogs on Thursday night. Sweet Pea went to the rainbow bridge to wait for me and Shannon. She was one of the first puppies born here at our home and one of three we couldn't part with. RIP my little Pea. I love you so much
