Previous Commitments

I am in the process of making my soon to be newest newphew a quilt. His name is Max and is due on Sept 21, 2009. My sister Joan and her husband Charlie are expecting their second child. Lil Charlie was born April 15, 2008. Lil Charlie recieved a quilt when he was born all hand pieced, hand appiqued and hand quilted. Sky Dreams is the pattern name designed by Claire Oehler.

Max is getting a more traditonal quilt. Called Double Dutch. Design by Sandra Klop. Published in American Patchwork & Quilting Feb, 2009 issue.

This is the 1st block. All pieced by hand. Alot of triangles. I feel the need to make this quilt by hand. Like I did for Lil Charlie. It's a sickness I guess.

The yellow background is the backing to my Valori Wells practice quilt.

Practice Makes Perfect

Made this simple quilt to practice my machine quilting. I just bought a Bernina Arista 630e w/BSR. Since I'm an old school hand quilter I need alot of practice. I used Valorie Wells fabric and easy 10" squares. I hope I'm feeling more confident when this is finished. My practice on the small sandwich blocks is not very realistic of what size projects I would like to tackle. Wish me luck.

Sunset in Paradise

This is paradise. Clearwater Beach sunset Friday May 22, 2009. Sitting at French's Restaurant. Enjoying a get together for our friend Allen who turned 50. It had rained nearly all day on and off, but cleared up for our dinner.

So take a minute to please fasten your seat belts, place your chairs and tray tops in the upright position for take off.
