The Great Pumpkin Sat on Mom's Kitchen Cabinet (a long time ago)

Dad's famous apple pie (second only to his cherry pie)

My visits with Mom and Dad were always too short. It is a distant dream remembering...

My Sewing Room

I changed my sewing room around. After the workshops at the Georgia Quilt Show, I realized that I wasn't comfortable in my room, so I raised my machine table and relocated the two utility tables to support the fabric as I send it through the machine. There is a chair waiting for you to come visit!

My Great Grandmother, Mae Stella Irvin's Quilt Top

I am looking for a background fabric for this Log Cabin quilt, so I may finish it. My Great Grandmother left us two tops, and this is the bigger one. 

Nature Picture

As I was walking out of the Gwinnett Civic Center, I saw these beautiful purple "things." 

Georgia Quilt Show

We started out with two plain 16 inch squares, did a whole bunch of sewing and cutting; like magic, 5 hours later, I had one finished 16 inch square (see the "flower power" picture). Okay, it probably took me 30 minutes to figure out how to manipulate the fabric, rulers and rotary cutter to make the original plain squares we started with. 

The raspberry sherbet color is fabulous, don't you think?

Here are pictures of Andy and Jessica with Andy's finished quilt. I started the quilt when I was pregnant with Andy, intending to use it when he was a baby. I missed the mark by 23 years.

Sampler Project

The blocks for this sampler were pieced in 1984 when I had two small sons (Eron & Andy). I intended to make 16 blocks, and finish them into twin bed quilts for their room. Well, I lost track of time, and another baby boy (Adam) came along, so I was too busy for much quilting and switched, for a time, to counted cross stitch. I thought these old projects were lost, but I found them recently, so I am picking up where I left off. I didn't have any of the original fabric left, but I found a green that almost matched the old green print of the block borders. I couldn't find a green dot like the background of the blocks, so I found a tiny green print (looks white in the photo), and I found the blue batik to finish the borders.

The Monster is Slain

And it is reborn as "Around the World with Lilly." I don't know whether I like the front or the back the best, but I am feeling really good about completing it. I posted the pictures of the quilt packaging clips I liked and the ones that were nightmares (the red and the binder clips). Trust me the blue ones changed my life. I am forever thankful to the Spirited Quilters of Duluth, Georgia! I won a raffle at the last meeting, and the blue clips were one of great surprises in the sack of goodies they gave me.
