Potholder Pass Round 3

My potholders from Kristen arrived today! Aren't they pretty? They are big. They will work great as hot pads. They are just perfect for my kitchen. Thanks Kristen!

Keepin' Cool in Colorado

Here are my boys. Bailey is on the left. I am his favorite human. Ronin, on the right, is my grand dog. They are in a pond close to my daughter's house. We are all just trying to keep cool.

Our Memorial Day Weekend 2010

Memorial Day weekend was spent enjoying the company of our son. We celebrated his birthday with this cheesecake, a barbecue and lots of presents. We loved having him home!

Didn't my daughter and I get creative with this cheesecake? It was as delicious as it looks. Love all the fresh fruits and veggies coming our way:0)

Here is our lovely daughter.

We had a great weekend. Hope you did too!

My Entry for the Blogger's Quilt Festival

My entry for the Blogger's Quilt Festival is this quilt. It is "The Fourth of July" designed by Judy Niemeyer. I made this quilt in 2007.  It was a class at our LQS to learn the freezer paper method of paper piecing. No paper to remove from the seams!  I made this quilt for my daughter and we named it "Meghan's Independence Quilt". It was made to go with her into her new home. At the time she really didn't have a new home yet, but we were planning ahead! She finally got her very own home December 2008. She loves her quilt very much! It has red flannel for the backing. It is very snuggly and made with love.

Christmas Runners

Here is one of the Christmas table runners I made for my quilt guild's silent auction. It is a stripe material that I cut with the 60 degree ruler to make the ends pointed. I love how the stripes connect at each intersection and continue around. The runners are very elegant looking with the metalic gold in the Kaufman print and in my quilting.

Bloggers Quilt Festival

There's going to be a Bloggers Quilt Festival starting May 21, 2010! I am deciding what quilt to show. Hope you all join in the fun! See my sidebar to find the link.

May Sewing Accomplishments

The Bunny Quilt is a Anne Sutton design from Bunny Hill. I bought the kit from her. This was my first attempt at hand applique. I love it. It will be my Spring/Easter quilt.

This pillow I made for the Project Pillow Swap. It will go to Ohio. I love the look of the chocolate pompoms but they were not so fun to insert. On the back I put yellow snaps to hold the pillow closed. I also added a little machine embroidery applique flower. She had requested Frolic from Moda so I found a Charm Pack and it went together fairly quickly. Hope she likes it.
