springtime twelve patch

I have been quiltting all week again with my quilt group. I decided to finish one of my quilt tops. I made this three or four years ago.

I have had fun with this one. I have been able to practice quilting on my home machine.

This quilt is made from two inch squares that were donated to our quilt group. I took about half of these squares and put them into the 12 patches. The rest of the quilt just kinda came together in my head. I am giving this quilt away to our pregnancy care center. they came and asked our group if we would make lap quilts for the young mothers who are electing to give their baby's up for adoption. Once they give birth, they are given a comfort quilt to take home with them. This quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted.

Quilt retreat- in house

Hi ladies and Gents:

Wow!!! What an exciting two weeks. The first week was our shop hop. I bought lots of stuff. The second week has been our in house quilt retreat at our church. That is where we can take all our stuff and just leave it all week in our class room and come and sew, come and go as we please from 9:00A.M. to 9:00P.M Monday through Friday. 
  A fun time was had by all. Here are the projects that we worked on enjoy.

quilts for the Pregnancy Care Center

Here are a few of the quilts we are making for the Pregnancy Care Center in our town.  Each one of these lap quilts, will be given to a young mother who has elected to give their baby up at birth. They are comfort quilts.

Wasatch Fron Sop Hop

Hi everyone,

I didn't disappear I just went on vacation. I have been back for a week and working outside in the yard. we seem to be about three weeks behind on yard work due to all the wet weather.

Yesterday our annual Wasatch front shop Hop started. we were out all day shop hopping. Now being in a rural area, this means that you have to travel far and wide and back again to hit four of the shops. We traveled a total of 248 miles today and went to 7 quilt shops in 8 hours. Minus the hour for a great lunch. I picked up some great new fabrics. I can't wait to scan them and start designing with EQ.

We will leave again in the morning to hit the remaining 8 shops. Guess I better hit the sack. 

Home Quilting Machine Show

This is a slide show of a few of the quilts that I liked at our local HQMS. Held in SLC Utah this past weekend. We had a great time.

Bible Quilt 15 year project

This is the first Quilt that we decided to do together as a group in Patches-n-Peacemakers.  It has taken me 15 years to make.  I am soooo glad that it is compleated.

Mystery Quilt by Debbie Caffrey

we have once again finished another Mystrey Quilt on QCA. This one was the best yet. I had a blast working on it.  This is the first one that I figured out ahead of time. I try very hard to wait until the end but this one was so pretty that I couldn't wait to put the blocks into EQ and see what I could come up with on the layout. I flipped and turned and rearanged for almost two hours before settling on this setting for the quilt.
Thank you so much QCA, Sandy, and Debbei for making this possible for us to do on-line.

Added a new page today

I added a new page today. I have put my EQ designs on their own page. I need to learn how to create pdf files and then I can share them with everyone. This will have to be a summer thing though. there are only 38 days of school left and then I will be a free woman for 83 days.

new look continued
