Watch out world, I am on youtube!


 Here's a little video I found that makes me look like a total nerd.  I stutter and forget words and who knows where I am looking while I am talking (there wasn't a cue card) but, it's fun to see this just the same.  It's always good to laugh at ourselves, right?  

Have a great weekend everyone!

Coastal Lily is finished!

coastallily1 
For those of you who follow Thelma, you will recognize her Coastal Lily quilt. This is a quilt pattern designed by Minick and Simpsonmade in traditional colors, but the coloring in this quilt is more up my alley. There is some Bonnie and Camille and I spied some V and Co fabric as well. The quilt is just so happy. Before I even knew what quilt Thelma was sending me, I knew I wanted to quilt this...

My Studio! Finally pictures worth sharing.

Okay, these first couple pictures are "before" shots.  Normally my studio wouldn't look like this because the tables wouldn't have been pulled from the walls. However, my studio was just plain and bland.  I have not had a chance to get to decorating my studio until now.  We have been in our new home for just over six months now.

My Dad

Last week I had the chance to go up to Salt Lake to spend time with my parents and I had the best time. This picture of them was taken by me last week and this is how I want to remember them as they get older. I want my kids to know them and be as proud of them as I am. I love them so much and I can never thank them enough for the love they have given me. My dad has always been a hardworking and...

ah-ha moment.....

So, I am kind of embarrassed to even mention this. But, maybe some of you out there ran into the same trouble as me. If you look at the picture above you can see a gap between the bottom of the thread cone and the thread holder plate. The thread cone is sitting nicely on top of the thread holder - the only problem with this scenario is that the thread slips down and gets caught underneath as I...

Summer.

1 
It's been a little weird getting back to some kind of normal after all of my traveling this spring.  On Monday I was totally desperate to finish something of my own. I made the mistake of going to the store and buying some butter mints to enjoy while I finished sewing the last two rows of Metro Rings. I ate the whole bowl all by myself. I really have a lack of self control in the sweets area of...

HMQS1
So, last Wednesday I headed north up to Salt Lake.  I managed to fit over 40 quilts in the trunk of my lime green mustang.  It was filled to the brim, but at least it holds what's important!

The drive was incredible. Of course I had to get a picture of the clouds....
