Profile Information

I am an awesome:: I am a full-time working wife and mother of 2 adult girls. I have three grandchildren, two girls (eight and thirteen monthes) and one boy ( five yr.s old). I wil be a grandmother again in August. I love being a grandmother. I have sewn since junior-high, but started quilting in 1996. I loved sewing, photography and painting when I was in high school. Now I love color, in any form. I am very interested in traditional quilting, but am intrigued with quilting as an art form. I have yet to actually make an art quilt. I am currently interested in quilting, genealogy, scrapbooking and phoptography. All projects that I have done have been gifts. I need to make something for me next. Although the hardest thing for me to do is to FINISH a project, I am never at a loss for ideas. I was born to design.

My sewing interests are:: garment, drapery, home decor, quilting, cross stitch, embroidery

My sewing machine(s):: Brother Pacestter NX-400 and Brother Pacesetter Embriodery Machine

I am interested in patterns such as:: I use many brands of patterns. I buy the brand that has what I want. Vogue is the best for fit and I love their design style. I also use Butterick, Simlicity and McCalls. I find that I have to do more fitting with these pattern brands.

Fall Resolution

I will do something everynight that is related to my passions - genealogy, quilting and scrapbooking.

Last night I emailed a fellow family historian that shares my families surname. I am trying to find a surname connection somewhere. Tonight I went online to "Sew What's New?" to check out some blogs and see if I had any messages. I work twelve-hour shifts so by the time I get home from work I never really want to start any project work. But come Sunday night I plan to work on…

Hello again. Monday I attended a quilt group my dear friend had just joined. I had a great time. Learned how to do machine caligraphy. How cool does that sound. I am excited to try it. I need to make a name tage for the meetings. I am going to use the caligraphy technique. I will post it when I have it done.

Girls'-night-out-sleepover update

Our sleepover was a blast! I was up until 2am, then I has to sleep. I cut and prepared blocks for three different quilts. On Saturday I sewed the quilt for my granddaughter's "Fairy" quilt. Yes I have it all sewn together. Now I will have to get it quilted. Now, it is on to the next piecing project. Have fun sewing! I will.

A cold day in Minnesota.

It's cold today. I am keeping warm by running around the house gathering and packing. I am going to a "Girls Night" at my sister's...we are never to old for a slumber party!

It is always a fun time. I have been gathering projects, picking out fabrics, cutting strips and blocks. Preparing for a day-and-a-half of quilting and socializing. Later this afternoon I will fix a treat to share. There will be refreshments, treats and good company. I am taking projects to work on that need to get… Continue

The curtains were made so that in a few years, they could be torn apart and put together to create a full size bed quilt for a "big girl" bed. The baby quilt would then become a wall hanging that would still coordinate with the room decor. Will have to get some pictures of the ensemble to post. Have about 6-7 quilt tops pieced and waiting to go on my long arm for finishing.

Did you ever find one? | have just found out that my youngest daughter is expecting her first baby. \I would love to make up some booties just as a 'congratulations' gift. Any suggestions??

Another thing I was thinking of doing was making a small baby quilt up out of her favorite blouses, skirts, bedding etc. from when she lived at home. Any suggestions?? I have a new embroidery machine so could do some great embellishing on it too.

Anxious to hear from you.
