july ufo done

Yes, it is finished!  I absolutely love it! I am so happy with the way the flames worked out.  They are actually my favorite part.  They are made of layers of sheers, some of them painted and also beads.  I started this quilt on January 22, 2011, so I actually finished this one fairly quickly- only …

grads and weddings

Life converges sometimes and things kind of all come together.  We were blessed to be invited to two special events this weekend.  The first was a wedding, for my cousin.  So I made the card above, with a red rose for love.  Steve helped. Then our dear church friends’ son graduated.  This card has a real tiny tassel …

gathering ideas

So, I have a general idea of the ducky quilt.  That idea is that it will be a riot of brightly colored flowers.  I did a little bit of research online looking for flower designs but what I found was limited.  So I went to the library and put every book with flower and quilting …

Halloween costume

So, of course, I wanted to wear my same costume as last year, but I still wanted to amp it up a little.  So I made this belt yesterday.  I call it my princess gypsy dream fortune teller’s utility belt.  I wanted to add flowers hanging down in order to be a float.  Maybe next year. …

August Ufo

Yes, I finished it!  I expect I will trim it and sew it onto some kind of back. I think it will eventually be part of a tiny quilt.  I started this a long time ago and carried in my purse for several years.  Periodically, I would take it out and do a little bit.  …

anniversary present

So, I think I mentioned this top-secret project in passing a couple of times.  I couldn’t post because sometimes my husband reads my blog.  I made this little heart-shaped scrapbook for my husband for our 20th anniversary. Here’s the first page: our wedding day.  He really liked it.  I made all the pages to fit inside …

May ufo finished!

Graduation is Friday and the party is Saturday.  The scrapbook is done.  Here is a few of my favorite pages.  The one above is obviously him learning to ride his bike.  The one below is about when he was little how he would obsessively line things up.  I loved that.

God’s message

I don’t know if God speaks to you through your radio, but he does to me.  Now, he doesn’t tell me when the world is going to end.  He knows this would be a bad thing to do because I am usually driving when he talks to me.  If He told me when the end of …

April Ufo

I spent a lot of time painting this weekend in preparation for graduation, but I did get a little time in on Saturday to work on this poor orphaned ufo.  I did make a lot of progress on Saturday.  I sewed the star and the angel down and made some little funky log cabin houses.  My …

chicken progress

So here is my second chicken quilt.  I love this quilt, but again I just don’t feel like it fits the person I am giving it to.  So I have already completed a third and final chicken quilt.  I love that one, too.  However, I can imagine it at the house of the person I …
