Happenings

The Earth and Twig BOM with feather quilting is my new favorite.

 

 

I am all caught up on customer quilts.

Just in time to take off for a little reunion/retreat. 

A much needed vacation!

On to my Daily.....

 

 

Happy Anniversary to my kids. They eloped a few years back! Now there is a story!



My sweet daughter in law. Happy Birthday!

See you in a couple weeks!

Recent Quilts

I have been very busy these last few weeks.....

 

It's Block of the Month (BOM) time once again.

This is from Sue Spargo's BOM program and it is named Earth & Twig.

Aren't they lovely?

These are customer quilts, and if I have 2 in my studio at the same time,

I load them together by stitching the backings to each other.

Same... but Different.

This is a local customer I have who seems to give away every quilt she makes.

She has a huge heart and is a wonderful, sweet lady.

I really enjoy quilting feathers.

 

And then my last 2 customer BOM's before I leave on retreat.... 

Here they are in progress.

Carol replaced a cat for the eagle. A very personal touch!

A real 'cotton tail'!

I love this crow!

Some of the embellishments will be hard to quilt around!

 This next one will be started today.

When I am done with the periwinkle colored thread on Carol's,

I will roll the quilt forward to the next backing

and begin the same periwinkle on this one.

I will go back and forth with the different thread colors

until they are both complete.

 Because Tanya's BOM has simpler embellishments...

and I love to do feather quilting....

I think I might try to include feathers in her background.

Hmmmm...... we'll see.

Happy Spring!!!!

Truth Cards

My Brave Girl's from June 2012

are having a truth card exchange.

It's a wonderful way to keep us connected.

A wonderful way to share the innermost parts of ourselves.

I love my Brave Girl Family. 

We started sending one a month In March.

Michelle sent this to me...

What a sweet little birdy and a sweet little sentiment.

I was totally blown away. Totally melted.

I propped it up on my counter and smiled every time I looked at it.

I wanted to keep it close to my heart.

I copied it on a page in the back of my Daily

so I could always look back and smile.

It's part of my March 2013 history.

 

Thank you sweet Michelle.

(insert heart here)

I love having a piece of her art....

And a piece of her heart. 

 

Then came April.

Oh how sweet to get this little girl in the mail!

What an encouragement! 

I am so in love with her.

I had to put her in my Daily too.

Thank You Cindy,

for this darling piece of art from your heart.

 

It will be a fun year.

About half of us are having a reunion at the end of the month.

What a joyful, creative time we will have.

 

Thank you Brave Girls for all the encouragement.
