Wow hard to beleve it is going to be 2011 in a few days. So much to be thankful for. Cant find the camera but when I do I will post a few pics. Happy new year!

New machine

Yes I made it home we travled to 15 states and over 6 000 miles. It was a great trip just ended with a bummer. Our 11 yr. old dashound Roxy died. In Barstow. I hate Barstow.
She had conjestive heart failur. Dennis bought me a feather weight sewing machine I love it and used it on my trip to sew a lap quilt for his aunt. It stitches like a dream I will use it to go to my sewing group on Wed. I miss my Materal Girls lunch but the blocks looked so great! Thanks to Barb I got to see them . OK off to unload the camper and get going on the day. HAPPY 4 th great country we live in. Sue

felting

I think this will be a eye glass case or small catch all purse. The flower on the right is done with wash away and I will attach it to the one on the left. Keep you posted on its progress. I will take this on vacation to work on and play with in the truck while driving to Minnasota.......

Sewing

Well it is another day done and tomorrow a meeting with the group to sew. ... They all are into ribbon embrodery. I will take my stuff but need to finish my material girls blocks. I will ask any to go with me to Best of the valley. We will have the grands on Thur and Friday so it will be slow getting over there. Looking forward to seeing what Anna has to show and seeing her "high lighted" ,much derserving.

Stitching.....

Well the Granddaughter LOVED her skirt. So she will be coming for a few days for Easter break, I know Spring break.....it will always be Easter to me. So I think we will sew a skirt together. I am looking forward to it. Barb S. the pointless quiltier has finished her blocks for our exchange in June. Nice work. Tomorrow off to pick up Dennis 37 Chevey. Should be a blast. Pics to come.

got this put together now what?

Here is my latest quilt put together..... and it needs boarders, any ideas? sue

bit by the bug CREATIVATY

AT LAST my quilting juices are running again. I have no Idea what hit but I cant seem to leave my machine alone. I just bought a pattern to make my grand a skirt. never made one before soooo it will be a learning experience. The pattern is for dummies like the books for everything you want to learn to do. LOL so I will start tomorrow. Got another quilt block done for material girls challenge. I had to take it apart and do over so I guess it is not a new one.... but it is as good as I can get it. My pointless quilter friend Barb would approve.

next step

Well today was a good and creative day. I got two pillow cases embrodered and one quilt lable and one Superboy cape, for Jack. I am off and running.

Something New

OK here goes I want to get back into quilting after the hard past three years so I am starting here.
