Snowflakes, Flowers and Kleenex Things

Well I have been so busy, I have not had time to update my blog. This is the busy season for my quilting business.

Plus having a son getting married in December.

Their wedding colors are navy blue, white and silver. I embroidered out lots of snow flakes to decorate the reception area.

Then I tatted her some flowers from Linda S Davies' book "From Petals to Pearls" These will go into her and her bridesmaids bouquets. I will leave it up to her how she wants the flowers to look. The are bendable.

I am still working on her wedding hanky. Here is how her edging looks so far.

I also made a Kleenex case for the mother of the bride.

Broccoli, Teaching & Baby Quilt

What a week I had.

I tried to grow broccoli for the first time this summer. Since my husband and I and our golden retriever love it so much. Well it likes cooler weather, and this year we have 105 days. So I crew weird broccoli. Here is a picture of what I harvested off of 4 plants.

I had to wait for the thread to come in, so that I could finish quilting the Latte quilt. Finished it on Friday. While I waited, I worked on sewing projects with three young ladies. (8, 10 & 13). They wanted to sew something for the fair. I thought we could do potholders, but the girls wanted to make wall hangings. Each picked a different kind. The 8 year old was doing dimentional pinwheels. The 10 year old was working on a patriotic friendship star. The 13 year old was doing some fusible applique cats. We worked from 1-6 for three days. We had lots of fun, but the teacher was drained by the end of the day. We have three happy new quilters who will have wall hangings to enter in the fair.

I finally finished the binding on our new granddaughters quilt.

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.
