project update

I got the blocks sewn together. The quilt has 3 more boarders to go on it. So it is going to be bigger.

Projects lately

I was asked by Darryl's parents to make them a new quilt for their bed. It is exciting to do the only thing is that they have a California King size bed. This is the biggest quilt I will have made. You can see Wickett was helping me lay it out. My pets can be so helpful sometimes. The only problem was I could see what I was doing with him sitting on the squares. The name of this pattern is Hip to be Square.




I was asked by my boss to make a new quilt top for one of her patterns. I had not made this pattern before it was fun to do. The name of the pattern is called A Crooked Mile. She is going to put it up in her booth at the shows she goes to.

Anyone want some help!

I had decided that I would sew a new pair of pants. Mischief decided he would help me. As you can see he was not much help.

Up to Lately.....

Can you believe this is a quilt!



I know it has been a while since I posted something. I have been busy working. I got to work at the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach. It was very busy,the show opened at 10am and closed at 7pm. My boss let me leave around 5pm. I got to look around.

Back to being a working woman

Alot has changed this year. I had been trying to figure where I want to go and look for a job. I didn't want to go back to grooming, I miss working with the dogs but I don't miss the headaches around the holidays. It took me a while to really get into the holiday spirit when I quit work. So last week a friend of ours mentioned that his sister was looking for someone to help her at her shop. She need someone to fulfill orders and some bookeeping. She ownes a quilt shop and does mostly shows but need a person look after things while she is gone. I met with her and got hired for the job. It is only part time which is ok. I am so excited.

How Can I Be

2nd Annual Ugly Fabric Challenge

Well I thought I would try the Ugly Fabric Contest again. It was fun. This time I decided to make a pillow. Would you believe I won a gift card for the novelty category. I did not take any pictures. But my pillow is being displayed at the store for a month and can be seen on the website. The quilt that won for its category is done in the same fabric as mine. So different. The overall winner's quilt was very pretty.
