Still sewing.....

Hello! I'm still working on quilts. The kiddie quilts have backs cut out; I'm also working on a scrappy strip quilt. Haven't decided what size it will be; thinking of a twin size. I think it would be good for the couch or a college student. Have a great day!

Memory Quilts

Good Morning! Seems all I'm doing is cooking meals for my hubby and sewing. I'm still working on kiddie quilts, but will have four when finished. I'm ready to do Memory Quilts again, so get those orders in line. https://www.etsy.com/listing/190827711/memory-quilt-handmade-raggy-keepsake?ref=listings_manager_grid Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Another Day!

Someone said it was going to turn cold again, but it hasn't yet. Oh well. that's Texas for you. Today I'm workint in my sewing room; it's a mess! I'm going to reward myself and work on denim tote bags later. I remembered I had started some before I returned to the t-shirt quilt. It's been delivered and customer loved it. Her son is 6' 3", so it's a little big -- about 74" by 92". Hope this photo works.

Have a peaceful Sunday!

I'm hoping to have a good day today.  For the last few days, I've been busy sewing.  I finished one Memory Quilt and mailed it.  (It's 46" by 58".)  I'm almost through enlarging a Memory Quilt and finished tying the Crazy quilt for the Senior Center.  Don't you think I'm due for a break? lol 
My next project will be a raggy tote; it's an order for the Center.  Then, I have two t-shirt quilts to start.  I will post a photo of the latest Memory Quilt; it's a generous lap quilt size.  I haven't taken photos of my other projects.  I will make sure to take photos of the Crazy Quilt; it is a fundraiser or the Center.  Bye for now!

Hello; I'm back!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted in my blog. I've been busy making Memory Quilts -- 27 to be exact.  I finally have a break; have three more orders, but haven't rec'd the clothes yet.  If you want to order a memory quilt (using either clothes from a loved one or your own clothes), just contact me.  These are what I consider generous lap sized.  Here are the latest quilts I delivered today:

Other than quilting, I've been busy with family.  I'm so lucky to have kids and grandkids.

Christmas Eve, 2012

Here it is, Christmas Eve, 2012.  Where has the year gone?  We're skipping our family Christmas party this year; however, we will see all our kids today.  Our oldest DD & her family are in from The Woodlands and will stop by for a quick visit this AM.  After evening Church, we'll have a small buffet here and our other DD & oldest DS will come by with their families.  Of course, our youngest DS lives with us and will be here.  Hope other families are getting together at this festive time.
Since I've finished the Memory Quilts, I feel like I'm missing something, lol.  I spent so much time sewing these last three weeks; haven't started anything else as I'm preparing for Christmas finally.  I'm posting another quilt; it's the only one with denim on the front and a vintage flannel on the back.   My selling blog has the Memory Quilts listed now -- check it out.

Finished Memory Quilts!

So much for posting about my progress on the Memory Quilts, lol.  I stayed busy from December 3rd until last night when I washed the last two quilts.  My customer picked up the 7 lap quilts today and was so pleased that she cried.  She has been a wonderful customer and even payed more than we had agreed on.  I'm hoping this is the beginning of a new career for me.  I'm still trying to figure out my price list.  I'm positive I charged less than I should have on these first ones.  However, I look on it as a learning experience.  Here are 3 of the quilts:
