Another Baby Quilt

A baby quilt made for one of my husband's co-worker.

 Monkeys sure seems to be a theme this year.

The back. The fabric is made from flannel. This was the first time I quilted flannel, It wasn't easy.

But I'm really happy with the outcome and so was the recipient.

Celebrating....

Well another month has passed, and here I am writing another post. School is in full swing and I find myself very busy. I'm covering three grades this year, which  means walking from one end of the building, upstairs and down, then back up again. I'm  also trying to walk several miles a day with my friend, Sue. So by spring with all the miles I'm putting on my feet I should be skinny, or at least fit. :^)

On Saturday, my niece, Katie, got married. She and her husband had a private wedding ceremony on the beach in North Carolina sometime in November, so that she could join him in Hawaii. Her husband is in the Coast Guard and is presently stationed there. So Saturday was a day to cerebrate their union with family and friends. I was honored to preform their ceremony.  Katie is a beautiful young lady, my God daughter and Will, her husband, is a very nice young man.

Aren't they just adorable?

A while ago my friend, Donna, gifted me with this beautiful purse. It is lovely and I loved i, but I also knew that I would probably never use it myself. I immediately thought that it would be perfect for Katie. But you know how kids are our tastes are not necessarily the same, but I presented it  to her anyway. She loved it and was thrilled to have such a beautiful gift to put her personal stuff in at her wedding. It had just enough "Bling" and matched her gown perfectly! 

Thank you again Donna, even though you didn't realize it you helped make "My Girl's"day special!

Summer's End with an Unwelcomed Visit from Irene

My Summer is just about over, I'll be heading back to work tomorrow that is if Irene and her rains permit it.  So far it doesn't appear to be too awful bad, but the main part of the storm hasn't hit us yet. This summer will be a summer to remember, a tornado, which is pretty much unheard of here, an earthquake, and now a hurricane which we do get but not usually this far inland. We're worried about flood and falling trees and broken limbs. 

I have been doing some sewing some I can show one the others not quite yet.

My mother started this quilt years ago. She is unable to sew any more because of macular degeneration. The blocks she made, I just squared them up and put them together. Now I just have to decide whether I'm going to quilt it or get my sister, the long arm quilter, to do it. It's pretty don't ya think? Kind of country chic.

My Dozen Quilter's project for May and June, pillow case dress for Dress 4 Me International.

Walker bags, July's project.

September's project a block for a quilt for a breast cancer fund raiser.

My sister, my friend Annette and I started the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt yesterday. I made three blocks and will post those later. I also made another baby quilt and am in the process of quilting it and plan to post pictures soon. There are at least two more baby  quilts on the list of things to do.
