card friday

I meant to post this morning, I really did. But first I was going to make a card to show. And I didn't. And now it's almost 9:30 and I have a horribly boring blurry card to show you lol.



Today was the start of our two week spring break. We aren't going to be away this year but I might not be posting every day. So some regular blog postings may be missing over the next two weeks.

Hopefully when the kids get back to school, I have lots of new things to show you!

siggy swap

Rachel over at PS I Quilt is running a siggy swap. The swap filled up fairly quick but I was lucky enough to get a spot.

This was back in January. I bought my fabric and figured I had tons of time to get these blocks done. You know where this is going right? lol



I started cutting Thursday; blocks were due to be postmarked March 1st. Saturday I sewed and sewed. Than I started practicing my signature.



Sunday I signed.



And Monday, off to Rachel they went.

ready for baby

wordless wednesday

bargello beauty

Lucy made this for her sister. Her piecing was absolutely supberb. This was a joy to quilt.



Hope Lucy's sister enjoys it as much as I do.



Quilted with Rambler Rose.

quilt monday

I know, I know. Second week in a row I've just squeaked in posting Quilt Monday lol. I was really hoping to have the binding done on this before I showed it but it just wasn't meant to be.

I started this quilt New Years Eve. I actually got the kit for Christmas, I believe 2007. And now it is finished.

I made it a little bigger than called for since I had enough fabric. I took some extra strips and worked them into the backing; love doing that!



Quilted with Oriental Illusions.
