Things have been SO busy since I returned from Europe (I LOVE saying that..or starting a sentence like...We were walking in Switzerland and .....it drives the people at work crazy! lol).. I had only a few days to get it together before work and then things went crazy. So much to do and not enough time. Then the babies started coming: Allison on July 30 and our newest, Phillip on Monday, August 27. Yep, right in time for Hurricane Isaac! On the plus side, Ben, Joann, and Lily have been at the house and I have been having a great time with them. Lily is the funniest baby. She makes faces, blows bubbles, and enjoys her food! She is hysterical when she eats.   Marsha, Sandra Sharp and I sent our registration in for Houston. We didn't get the wool class we wanted but hey....more time on the floor to buy fabric! That is in November. Found a cute tutorial on Material Girls blog today. I can't wait to go to Margaret's to visit her and the store. Here's their blog. http://thematerialgirlsquilts.blogspot.com/  If Isaac goes away, we can probably leave on Aug. 30 out of Mobile. Pray hard.

In the hoop pincushion

Our Just Needles Quilt and Fiber Arts Guild will be meeting this Tuesday. I suggested a pincushion exchange to start our year off and apparently everyone is going crazy making pincushions. The rules: Make it or buy it. That's it. I have seen pictures on FB of some of the pincushions and they are cuteeeeeee! I decided to challenge myself and picked up the Nancy Zieman IN-THE-HOOP sewing book. I was going to make the suggested pincushion but the crazy patch was the first one so I decided to try it. I made it with some scraps and cut some from regular fabric. I used 8 fabrics. At first, I thought I only needed 6. Then when I went to put them in order, I realized I needed 2 more. I think I might use different seasonal fabrics to make more. I am still considering a gift for my trip overseas this summer and this might be a nice idea. The first 6 fabrics...oops..need more!   5x7 hoop  Finished block  View one: Finished pincushion  View 2: Finished pincushion (if th...

November was quite the busy month. It started off with a trip to Houston to the International Quilt Festival!!! Woot, woot!!! Marsha, Sandra, and I had a FANTASTIC time! I learned to bring all my papers with me after having to trek back to the hotel but Hey! Live and learn! I even won the FASCINATOR contest! I won a Sizzex machine and other lovely things. It was a blast! There were sooooo many vendors and so much to see and do. We did take some time to go thru the different quilt exhibits also. The amazing talent that is in this world is unbelievable. Paint quilts, Photo, Traditional, ...you name it, they are making it in QUILTS! The only limit is your imagination Here are a few of the quilts we saw: I loved this series. The detail was amazing.
