Waiting........

I finally got to spend some time in my studio today and this

is one of the things that I made.

Well, all I really did was embroider Mia's name on this little dress.

Oh, and I did make the headband to match.

You can buy the stretchy ribbon at Hobby Lobby and just

sew it together.

I also bought at Hobby Lobby a bouquet of flowers and I pulled

off the flower head, removed the hard plastic part, hot glue gunned

the petals together and then hot glued it onto a hair clip

so it can be mixed and matched with various headbands and outfits.

I also spent some time ironing the baby clothes I had handwashed

earlier in the day.

I took such care with them because they were mine when I was little.

I remember a story that my mom told me about my

cousin Diane coming to visit from California and helping mom

iron my little dresses. 

WOW!  I ironed those little dresses today and it was

a heck of alot of work!!!!

It made me pretty thankful for the wash and wear type fabrics

that I had when my kids were little.  I can't imagine having to iron

all of my kids clothing!

I think the dress on the right was my Christening dress.

Here is my baby girl at 41 weeks.

Hopefully I'll be a grandma very soon!

Friday Night Quilters

Last night I enjoyed a very nice evening filled with

good friends, good food, and really good quilts!

Here are some pictures of my talented friends

and some of the projects they have been working on.

Joanne with a couple of Alzheimers quilts that

are ready to be sent in to be auctioned

to raise money for Alzheimer's.

Mary's quilt

This is the quilt that we made for

Linda after her bed-bug experience at quilt camp.

It is hanging on her wall.

Katrina's out of this world quilt.

It has another name, but I can't seem to remember what it is!

Cheryl recently returned from a trip to Bali!

While there she made this batik panel.

She drew the design on paper, then drew it with wax before

she applied the paint colors to this piece.

She also made the jewerly she is wearing while in Bali.

Sharon has been busy finishing Quilts!

Sharon again.

I think Mary might have gotten the prize for the most finished tops.

Mary was given a patchwork dog like this when her twin girls were born, so she decided to duplicate it!

More from Mary.

I didn't have anything to show last night so I have decided to spend the afternoon doing some sewing!!!!

til next time,

Happy Quilting!
