Only one thing with the picture, I keep forgeting to take pictures of finished work. LOL!
It was awesome though.

I'm Back!!!!

 

 

Well I can not believe I have not been on my blog for a year now.

During school its hard to have time to write. My oldest son Ricky graduated from High

School and ready to move to Florida. Youngest son Eddie is now in High School, so 4 more years with him. But I finally had time to finish this Alice and Wonderland Quilt for Ricky.

 

 

            I'm on summer break now, I should have time to do more.

February Already

How do the days just fly by. February the month of love is here. Let's go back and see what happened  in January. I went to a baby shower. I have known him since he was 14 yrs old and now at 27, David and Melanie Jennings, any day now, they are having a little girl Sophie Irene Jennings. This is the quilt I made for Sophie.

                   It has Butterfly's in the center of each block.

        I loved how it turned out it was awesome.                                                    

Then at the end of January my Dad turned 87 yrs young and I made him this quilt.

                                            

He loved the bright colors.

I hoping to get alot more quilts done this month.

See ya'll soon.

Love this place! Having a great time. Not getting my sewing done, it will have to wait till the new year. Merry Christmas to everyone!

Merry Christmas

My goodness I have not been on my blogg since Halloween and NOW IT's CHRISTMAS and what have I done "Not much". Tried to catch up on sewing my xmas gifts before going on holiday trip, didn't get everything done, I guess gift cards again.

My quilter is on the outs again, still waiting on parts. Maybe Santa will bring me a new one!

Look what showed up early! Santa Hubby was too nice this year.

Halloween Movies

What is your favorite movies for Halloween. Now I'm not a favorite of scray movies like Halloween 1,2,3,4,5,6,ect...., Friday the 13th.
I like ( since I get scared easly);
Hocus Pocus: Max hates Halloween, but when he accidentally resurrects three evil witches, he, with the help of his little sister, his new crush, and an adorable black cat, must save the town.



Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: Halloween and Christmas clash in this stop motion animated musical. When the Halloween Town pumpkin king stumbles upon Christmas Town, he tries to get his town to celebrate the Christmas holiday as well – but things don’t go as planned.


The Haunted Mansion: Eddie Murphy stars as Jim Evers, a workaholic real estate agent who cuts his family vacation short to work on a business deal. He drags his family to the Gracey Manor where they discover that the mansion is haunted and houses the answer to a very important mystery. The Evers’ form a stronger bond as a family while trying to escape.


All time Favorite!!! It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown: Linus spends the night in a pumpkin patch in hopes of spotting the Great Pumpkin in this classic children’s film: “Tonight the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch. He flies through the air and brings toys to all the children of the world.” Meanwhile Charlie Brown is invited to his first Halloween party and the rest of Peanuts gang celebrate the spooky holiday!


And Don't forget this one,
Beetlejuice: A ghost couple who will do anything to get the newly moved in family out of their house. When their haunting doesn’t work, they enlist the help of Beetlejuice to scare them away.



What is your Favorite!!!!!!

HOW TIME FLIES WHEN YOUR HAVING FUN!!!!

It's been a while since I have sat down and just found some time to blog. I can't beleive how long it's been. I got a job in September at the Middle School to be an Education Assistant, so I have been rearranging my schedule on how I use to do things. The school is off for fall break for 2 weeks. My Mom and Dad took my 12yr old son to Idaho, to go huntting and fishing with his uncle. But my 16 yr old did not get off the 2 weeks for fall break, his on a different schedule, so I'm staying over at mom and dad's house to stay with him while he goes to school. Now that I've caught ya'll up, lets get to what's exciting.

I had thier parents give me photos of their men and women in the service. I made this lovely Quilt in honor of them. It still hangs in the mayors office in Watertown,Tn.

Hi There Saturday!!!

Well this week has been busy. I've been Substitute Teacher for a Special Ed class. Those kids are so awesome to be with. So not much sewing has been going on this week. So I thought I would share with you some of my mom's quilt's that she has made over the years.

     Mom would make them and then send the tops to Texas to have her cousin Margie quilt

 Mom would go to Texas to vist Margie. All they would do is sit there for hours, days just making quilts.

     A lot of the quilts are applique.

    
                     The quilting ladies

    Mom, Ricky, Eddie, my great Aunt Martha and Margie (Martha is Margie's mom) . I took the picture, but there was 4 genarations in that house of our family.

     Now this Sue Bonnet was made by my Great Aunt Dora.
