Oh My Scraps !!

I had tons of scraps left over from my trick or treat table runner. So I made these cute placemats for Halloweeenie ! I think each thing I try to quilt is getting a teeeny bit better with each project. Maybe one day I will be a quilting bee after all!!

Utah State Fair 2008

We had a "redneck" date at the Utah State Fair... We went to the Diesel Pulls and watched our friend Ken Jones and his 1941 Dodge "Wild Diesel" pull. Ken almost had a full pull. We all had matching "Wild Diesel" shirts on and cheered Ken on!
I walked thru the Fair and saw some beautiful quilts and lots of fun ideas.

In loving memory

This was Miss Saddie. She went everywhere with us. We had her for 8 great years. We had to put her to sleep in July 08 due to cushing disease. It was the saddest day of our lives.

My First Quilt


I finally mastered the quilting thing. I was so scared to try to attempt to quilt but I thought what the HECK give it a whirl and I have to say "look how cute it is" I have to thank all my quilting gals at work Jan, Pam, Laurie, Marilyn you gals are a hard act to follow thanks a bunch for all the encouragement. Kim your the "best" thanks for helping me pick out the fabric. But lastly a HUGE thank you to my new machine quilting lady Ruth without your cute ideas this quilt would have looked awful. I think the quilting BUG has bitten watch out world I have a sewing machine and I know how to use it!
