Fall is one of the prettiest times of year.  I love the colors and the cooler air.  I love the colors of the fabric the reflect the beautiful season.

My quilting friend and I made this for a good friends daughters wedding  We had fun it was amazing that we put it together so quickly.

 I fell in love with this  material and pattern.  It hangs over the banister in my living room.  This was the first scalloped edge I tried.  Not to bad but not easy either :)

This quilt is one I made several years ago.  As I said fall is a favorite time of year.  Halloween and Thanksgiving.  They are so fun.  I tend to create on the cute side not the scary side.

 I did a quilt for my son and daughter in law.  The fabric was left over from their quilt.  I had one star left and ran out of the brown fabric.  I called all over and lucky me there was a store that had 3 yards left just enough to do the star and binding.
 This quilt was made out of mohda's french general.  I think you can tell I love red.  This in in my bed room over the back of the chair.  It was fun to do.  I did it on a three day weekend with my sisters.  Not to bad:)
 This table topper was so fun to create.  I made a runner for my daughter too.  I even had scraps for my daughter in law to make a runner.
 This quilt was made by a friends sister.  I quilted it for her I love the material and pattern.  Need to make one this year
 This is the baby quilt that I made for my only grand daughter. I also made a carrier cover to keep her warm.
I put it together and it was almost twin bed size so I cut it in half and have enough for another baby quilt.  Need another girl another baby girl in our family.
This quilt is one I made for my niece.  She had a cute little girl.  Got to love those little baby girls.

Three Christmas gifts!














I Love my children so much and enjoy doing things for them. This time it started I something for me but decided that I loved the Christmas tree skirt that my mother had made. (my mom passed away 19 year ago) I couldn't bare to not use it. Since I had purchased the kit I decided that I would give it to my daughter, she had asked if I would make her one. I finished and loved it and decided that my other two children needed one too. So I purchased more fabric Thanksgiving weekend and started to sew like crazy. I did finish only a week before Christmas day. But I did it. I hope they cherish this gift as I have cherished my mothers skirt. It is a piece of her that brings loving memories of a wonderful, magical holiday that I have tried to give to my children.

I made quite a few quilts throughout the 2010 year. There were two women who retired. I got the best idea instead of a little gift that would be thrown away in a few years. We decided as employees to gather our funds together purchased material and I quilted myself silly. My boss loves the sea. I found a jelly roll that had the colors that fit the colors of the sea and shore. I used a pattern from a magazine (my biggest down fall) I enjoyed putting it together. There is such joy in doing something fun in secret for other people. When the time came her breath was taken away and joy in her face. It was worth the effort. My quilting machine broke as I finished the quilt!!

I then made a table topper for the other one who was retiring. Now that one was more challenging. I had never made something so difficult. There were choice quilter words spoken many times. I did conquer and created a beautiful table topper. This person called me around Christmas again thanking me for such a gift.

My mission was accomplished by bring joy to others. What a great feeling it is to have that ability!
