The Go Cart


I keep calling it a Go Cart, I don't know why, but I do,and this is the new addition to the family. When my husband took up golf it was for exercise and because he needed a hobby. But one year down the road he suffered pain in the knee, and officialy has gout/arthritis. He hinted, then pleaded and finaly begged for a golf cat,that was fun!, He now has one, and wouldn't you know it, the doctor has changed his meds and the pain is easing considerably! Anyone want to buy a used Go Cart! It comes with a used husband with a dicky knee!!

Love That Cider!


This is a FINISHED project! Yippee! A tabletopper using the *Cider Mill Road* charms and the *HouseBoat* pattern from Miss Rosie Quilt Company, love her designs! Of course I made it a little bit bigger than the pattern, had to tweak the measurements a bit, but all ok in the end.

Nostalgia


My Nostalgia quilt top is finished. I used the *Strips'N'Bits* pattern from Bloom Creek. I used a Jelly Roll and Two Charm Packs, I kept making the blocks until I ran out of material, so mine is a lot bigger than the pattern.It's also a bit lumpy and bumpy, I didn't notice the proper pressing instructions until I had nearly finished! It may be another project for Sarah when she comes for a visit in September!

Kody with a K


This is my latest muck up! I made a baby quilt for a new grandbaby for a lady at work...All through the pregnancy it was Cody John, I say again C.O.D.Y. When he was born I double checked.....C.O.D.Y. Correct. I went ahead and finished the lovely Winsome Quilt . Leonie was happy when I pesented her the finished item. Two hours later she approached me to whisper,Cody with a K. What is it with these young ones??? Why do they have to be creative with the spelling of A name? I have tried different ways to change the C to a K, but to me, it still looks like a C trying to be a K! Might have to wait until you get here Sarah, your talents might be handy!

Beside the Log Fire




This is a quilo I made for another Lady I work with. Her name is Helen and she just celebrated her 6oth birthday. I loved the way this one turned out, I will have to make myself a log cabin quilt! Sorry there there are two photos, after uploading them, I couldn't delete one! See the little pussy cat on the bottom? She is a real cat lover so I couldn't resist!


Knife Roll





This is a knife roll I made for a lady at my work. She is the new Chef, and everyone keeps pinching her knives, so this way she can pack them away for the day when she goes home.

Decadent Lady

This is the lovely quilt my daughter, Sarah, made me for christmas. She knew I loved Moda's "Decadent Victorian" fabric range and she used a Jelly Roll to create this wonderful quilt. Even Dennis, her husband, loved it. His classic comment " oh, keep that one, give her one of your crappy one's!"......Yes, he is still alive!
