Graduation!

Tonight our oldest granddaughter graduated from High School. I can't believe she is old enough. Haylie is all grown up!!
I found some more give aways. Joanne is one you can find here. She also has some good prices on long arm quilting. I am going to give her a try when I get my next one done.

Through Joanne's blog I found this nice give away Tonya blog is here. Check her out too.

Boy I screwed up!

My friend has asked me several times if I wanted to take classes from Sue Nichels. Tonight Sue was at our local guild meeting and brought some of her quilts. I should have taken the classes. I really wish I had taken the raw edge applique.

Her quilts were fabulous and I can not believe she quilts them on her home sewing machine. I wish I was that good. Next time I get asked to take a class I will.

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.
