WOW!

Wow!
Would you look at this:
I got my
Good Ole' Summertime Mini Quilt swap
in the mail today!
It came all the way from Kodiak Island in Alaska
from Deb Christensen!
In the note I received she told me about how they
had an excellent run on red salmon and now the halibut
are hitting. The biggest catch so far has been 315 pounds
and 5' 6" from head to tail. They call them "barn doors".
I can't even imagine a FISH that big!
You can visit Deb's website here:
She has posted some really wonderful photos of
the island she lives on and has pictures of some
of the other critters that live on the land near her house.
I love reading about the different places!

I've been busy down in the studio..........
I made this journal cover for a friend of mine
who is working really hard to overcome an addiction.
She's been journaling and I thought she might like
this journal cover.


I"ve also finished up this humungeous cross-stitched quilt
for Mary.


There are 36 large squares that make up this old-fashioned
looking quilt. Mary has worked quite hard making up all of
those HAND cross-stitched squares.
I've got the quilt folded in the picture above..........
Here is a picture of the back.
It really is not a pink backing.
The flash just made the burgandy backing look pink!

I'm in the process of embroidering some shirts and I hear
the machine calling me back to change a thread color,
so OFF I go!

Design Journal

Hello,
As you all know I recently entered an apron contest with my friend Linda.
Well, we did not win.
But that's okay, because we really had alot of fun doing it!
Well, Now they are having a Journal cover contest!
Here's the link:
I don't know if I will enter or not.....
(probably will....who wants to be my partner?)
but I have already made up a journal cover
and it was alot of fun!
AND I really love it!
Here it is:
I decided to make a Design Journal
and in it put all of the projects that I make.
I still need to make some sort of closure
for this journal
AND add some sort of embellishment,
But I'm doing some "Fart"ing tomorrow
and I need this design book!
(FART is an acronym for
Fabric Acquisition Road Trip!)
The front pages contain sticky notes with
shopping notes.........things I need to get to
finish up projects!

This page contains the Haunted House project that I am doing.
It has notes pertaining to thread that I need to complete the project
and a blank page to write down any thoughts I might have about
this project.
(Carole and Christina...........You have created a monster!)



This entry is the Harmonic Convergence quilt that I started
with Jenny and Rafael before they got married.
I took each of them (separately) to a quilt store and asked
them to pick out 2 fabrics that they liked, then I put them
together as a "convergence" quilt.
It's a great story!
I just need to finish up this project!
So that is kinda the purpose of the Design Journal.............
I'll carry it with me
and have a visual reminder of the projects that I want
to finish up!
I think you should go to this link and
make yourself one of these journals!
Tell me what you think!
Leave me a comment!
