Quilting and Baby Cloths

Finally finished an outfit for our new granddaughter.

I have also been working on a customers "Latte Quilt" for the last 3 days. Here is a sample picture of just the center. Almost done and ran out of thread. Now I have to wait for the shipment to get in.

Jack at 7 months

I was asked about an updated picture of Jack. Here he is. He is 7 months old and weighs a ton.

Tatting and Sewing

Just a quick stop into the blog to show what I have been up too.

Here is a Seahorse I finished last night.

Here are a couple of a purses I made in the last two days. I use fabric sample swatches from the lazy boy store.

This month our first granddaughter was born. Here are two pictures of my husband and I piecing it on my treadle machine. Hubby only did a couple of pieces, but it will be great for the baby book. I will post pictures of the quilt and the Kailie when I get the binding on.

Busy Couple of Months

Well I have not posted for a awhile. It has been a busy couple of months. In June, my parents took my sister, brother, and I with our spouses on an Alasken cruise. My grandmother was also on the cruise. We had a blast and it was over way to fast. This was my husband and I's first cruise. Alaska was beautiful. Here is a picture that one of the ships photographers took. Also a picture of some of the family on our 15 mile bike ride at one of our stops.

I have not done as much tatting as I would have like to. I have been busy working on Customer quilts. Here are a few pieces I have been able to get done. I am working on a quilt for our first granddaughter who was born this week. I am also working on a crochet outfit. So busy busy busy.

As of Late

Well as usual, I have been busy busy. Last weekend we had a birthday party for my father-in-law in the afternoon and then a going away for our middle son, who is leaving for the navy.

Here is a picture with my f-i-l, 2 of our kids and our d-i-l.

For mother's day, hubby had taken me to an early dinner and then we went looking at lawn and garden things. We found this beautiful plant and my husband bought it for me. I haven't killed it yet. It has the most beautiful flowers and they last over a week at a time.

I have been busy quilting and embroidering. Here is one of the towels I did for the business. I digitized their logo and am embroidering towels and a jacket.

Here is a card I finished for a wedding we have this afternoon.

This is a picture of some of the quilting I did on a my mom's quilt. She has been working on this quilt for over 5 years.

Weird Judging

OK. I don't enter alot of different fairs. I usually only enter in our fair, which is in September. A friend of mine has been working with one of the smaller fairs. They really wanted me to enter some tatting, because no one does. My friend came and picked out a few of my tatted items. First was the columbine I made last year. See picture on my webshots http://tinyurl.com/284hr2. Next was the small apricote colored doily on my blog. Then this cross and snowflake. I could not believe it when my friend gave me the results. Judges comments are as follows: Small doily pretty, did not like the cross because she does not like varigated thread, Liked the poky things coming out of the columbine flowers, and believe it or not.......the snowflake she loved and gave best of class!?!? I don't get it.

Two Tattings this week

Here are a couple of tatting motifs I did this week. One is Madonna & Child by Mark Myers. The other is a pig by Jane Eborall.
