Superstitions and Dinner

A week or so ago, we went out to dinner with my parents. on the way to their home I had to take pics of the Superstitions! Snow! can you imagine? it's cold and snow on the Superstitions. This is when it was almost gone. but so cool. it just doesn't happen very often here in the desert!

we had decided to go to Texas Road house! LOTS of peanuts there. LOL... YUM! and bread.....

and our dinner. we all ordered the same thing. easy for the waitress.....

so good and yummy! did I get pics of us or my parents? hmmmmm, no...... bad picture taker. that's what I am......

but we had a very good time! thanks mom and dad.... love you lots....

A UFO DONE!!!!!

In TB this year we have picked 11 UFO's to get done this year. each one is numbered, then we draw a # each month. this is project #1 from January. sigh.... well, at least it is done. I am still working on February, March and now April. I don't feel really bad, because, by #11 I will be caught up! anyway, that's the plan, my goal, my wishful thinking? LOL..... anyway, this is how it started out. This is it finished! yeah!!! it's a pattern from several years ago in a McCall's quilting. a nice lap size and a Christmas one! another Christmas one...... but I do love making Christmas quilts.

enjoy......

Thornberries Day

Another glorious, fabulous, wonderful sewing day with the Thornberries gals! this is terry s. table topper. it was a sample for one of her classes..... this is a green and brown quilt that was WOW!!! with minkee on the back. Love it Terry!!!!

more samples from one of Terry's classes. so cute. pattern is an Aktinson design I think.

Another one from Terry. I believe it's a baby gift for a nephew. hope I got that right. I didn't get a pic of all the cute recieving blankets she was making for a new little grandson. they were soooo cute..... This quilt belongs to Sue. I thinkk she said it was a kit. LOVE IT!!!

a few years ago, we gave each other fabric for our birthdays. sue completed this quilt with her birthday fabric. . isn't it beautiul?

Louise made this one. love it!

This one is dimensional. also by louise! love it!

This is the same one as before. but can you see the scalloped edges. so pretty......

This one is from Barb! a few years ago we all worked on this chicken quilt. Barb did hers a little different. I love it!!! this is a close up, next pic is the whole quilt.

again Barb. this is an antique quilt she bought at a garage sale as a top. I believe she hand quilted it. this looks sooooo comfy!

OK JENN, DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER. THE NEXT PICTURES ARE OFF LIMIT TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, sorry about that. but I don't want her to see this! LOL.... I trust you Jenn, don't look!

I have had Demi with me for a couple of days. she went to work with me and did all the dusting, folded lots of FQ's, we had lunch together and today she went to TB with me. Demi likes to sew, so we made 4 snap bags. one for her, one for her mom Jenn, and 2 for her 2 sisters. she did a great job! hope you had fun sweetie!

Thanks gals for such a wonderful day! I came home very relaxed. I appreciate that! our own little quilt retreat! just not long enough.......

and thanks Demi, for coming with me. love ya sweetie.....

BOM

Hi everyone! at the shop we have started a new BOM. it is by Pam McMahon. she has her own pattern line - Pieces from the heart. and she lives right by the store, so we get to see her all the time. I LOVE her patterns. the only problem is I want my quilt to be JUST LIKE HERS!!!! so I haven't bought any patterns yet. sigh...... Well, she has designed this new BOM and we are the first to try it out! we get a block each month - I think it's for 13 months..... with the fabric. This is the center of the quilt. I am working on block #2. I am loving it! thanks Pam for letting me have my cake and eating it too! LOL..... Lorene

Gunner Day!

I got to have Gunner Man all to my self! we had such a fun day! lunch at Mc D's with Poppa - forgot my camera!!! yikes, bad grandma! watch loony tunes on and off all day! and he was helping me straighten my sewing room. well I have been collecting some spiderman and batman t -shirts to make t-shirt quilts for some special people. Gunner found my stash! he tried them all on and thought they were for him. I let him wear them. they got dirty and of course he can't wear dirty shirts. so he went home with his own shirt! so now I have to find a better place to hide them. Thanks Gunner Man for spending the day with Granma! love ya kiddo! Grandma H
