Starting Jacqueline's Quilt

Finished the star blocks this morning. (November 5, 2009)

Starting the stars... (November 1, 2009)

I'm starting Jackie's quilt today. She picked out the fabrics before going to college. They are romantic prints. After looking at many patterns I settled on a Eleanor Burns' pattern, Road to Stardom Quilt. I bought the rulers to go with this but have never used them so it helped in the decision. But of course I think the patterns works well with the fabric. Plus the stars work to go with the time Jackie loved Star Trek. ;-)

Susan's block

As part of a block exchange I have made the block that Susan in Alaska wanted. It is 9 1/2 inches. Time to mail it off and wait and see what comes next! :-)

Mary's Flower Purse

Just finished this today and will mail it to Mary. The plan was to have it ready for her to take to college so I'm just late by a few months! Better than years!

Like the yo yo?

Fall Table Runner

After moving to The Woodlands in Texas (September 03, 2009) I needed to test the sewing machine to be sure everything worked so I made this. Finish in September, amazing!

Catch up

Here is the dog quilt I have worked on in three states! Finished in Texas in September 2009. I'd say it helps to have someone you need to give a quilt to so that you have to get it done!

I call it, "Beep Beep!". During this time all three girls learned how to drive!!

Internation Quilt Show / Houston

I'm going to the International Quilt Show tonight. The local quilt guild, "The Woodlands Area Quilt Guild", is taking a bus. Tonight is the preview night, the show will run throught the weekend so I hope to go again.

I went once a few years ago. It was very big and you just can't see everything in one trip. Perhaps next time I'll take classes but with just moving I figured I'd take it easy.
