Before Paducah.............

I finished piecing my first Civil War quilt before I went to Paducah for the big AQS Show. I even loaded it on my APQS Millennium and ditch stitched along the side and across the top. My machine was working perfectly. So, I think the gremlins were here while I was away! Now my thread is breaking every 6 or 7 inches!!!! Nooooooooo!!! It's a longarmers nightmare. I'll figure it out eventually!

So here is a picture of my new beauty!! It is so warm and yummy and almost chocolatey!! Also BIG. It measures 92" x 92". Great on a queen size bed with enough hangover for two people to fit under comfortably.

My squares before I cut them!


OK, now I really wish I had a GO! Cutter. Just think how fast and accurate the cutting would GO!
Oh, that pencil mark is my clumsy hands on my mouse in Paint!! hahahaha

More from Lil' Twister


I wish their website was more user friendly. The person who thought this up must be a genius! I cut up my own 5" squares, but you can also use a charm pack.

My Newest Toy


I got this Lil' Twister tool at a LQS yesterday. I've been playing with it ever since! What fun!

Happy Birthday Sunny Sonny Boy!

My sweet son is 28 today! I thought he was just 4 or 5?? What happened?? The day he was born it got up to 80 degrees! And a week later we had one of our biggest blizzards ever.

Happy Valentine's Day



Happy heart day! My DH said after he saw the price on three measly flowers he decided I could use the money for quilt stuff. OH YEAH! That works for ME!!! I think he was a little heart broken because he really wanted to get me the flowers. Not me, I'm a happy Valentine. My stuff will last longer than the flowers anyway.
So, here's how I spent some of my $$$!

My Next Project! It's Flannel!!



Here is my next project. It's flannel . Warm and snuggly it will be! It just sort of pasted to my design board; so if you see missing spots that's why!
I shopped for this fabric last year; so I am really happy to get 'er done!
