DQS6 Received

Well Barbie received my quilt and loves it. I was really worried about this one. But she really liked it.

I also received my quilt from Doe Agers. She doesn't have a blog. I loved mine too. She did a beautiful job on the flowers. I wish I could do that good of work. But I am learning more and more. I might get there someday.

Baton Recital

Katie and Chloe had their baton program tonight. They did a really good job. I don't think Katie stopped smiling all night long.

Chloe & Katie

They don't know yet that I used my camera and taped them doing their routines. They will be so happy.

Sew Day

Yesterday some of my internet friends got together for a sew day. They are all from "Quilting in Indiana". We did not get alot done. Just talk, laugh, talk and laugh some more.

Amanda, Susan, me, Joni and Kathleen

Karen came too but left before we got our picture taken. When we did decide to sew a little bit we worked on bags to carry quilts or our stuff to take on retreat. I did not get mine done. Just have a little more to do.

It sure was fun to meet new friends. We will get together again in July.

Back from retreat

Retreat was great!! I meet alot of new friends. I only knew 2 people that was going to be there. Everyone was so nice and sure had lots of laughs. The only thing was I ripped out more than I sewed. For some reason EVERYTHING I did was wrong and had to be redone. I know I am not a perfect quilter but this was ridiculous. I have never been that bad. It took me till Saturday to be back in a rhythm. I did get one quilt finished and ready to go to the LA. I will post pictures after I take some.

Finished a UFO

I finally finished my Row by Row. It was a mystery row of the month I started in 2007. Part of the deal was the LQS would also quilt it for free when it was finished. So it has been done and quilted waiting on binding for over a year. I am sooo bad. I hate doing binding. I am glad it is done though because I really like it. I think I will keep this one for myself.




I really tried to do it in all Thimbleberries fabric but just couldn't handle it. I had to add some brighter colors to it.

Now I am working on 2 doll quilts. They need to be done this week. They should be. Cross your fingers.

Look what was in the mail

The mail was wonderful today. Alexis sent my doll quilt from About.com. It represents spring and it is beautiful!!! She did an excellent job. I love the colors. Thank You Alexis

Also I got these in the mail from some of my swappers in the doll swap. I do not know whose idea it was but I sure do like them.

These are 3 1/2 squares. They will make up a really nice little quilt. Last round they sent me nine patches and I ended up with over 80.

And there was not any bills!!! What more could you ask for.

Now I have to get 2 doll quilts finished and mailed. I have been working on them. One is giving me a hard time.

You know you are a redneck when.........

The dog helps with the dishes!!




We had Easter at our nephew's house. Greg and Karmen really get into Easter. They hide about 600 eggs in their woods. The kids just love it.

They were very disappointed my oldest son's family could not make it. They are the ones with the 6 girls.

Their dog Roxie decided to help with the dishes. It was a riot to see her.
