My best friend has four year old twins. One of twins is a purse girl. She loves shoes, clothes, purses, you name it. Recently she found some bejeweled Converse shoes that were outrageously priced. Best friend called me to see if I could reproduce the shoes. Of course I’ll do anything for her and herContinue reading “Shine on little shoes, shine on”

Busy, busy Bee
I’ve been working fast and furiously on gifts lately. Little mister has four birthday parties in the next few weeks, and Christmas is around the corner. Teacher gifts, play group gifts, family…the list gets long. My best friend has twin girls. They turn four next month, so I made them each a little purse. PerfectContinue reading “Busy, busy Bee”
Two for the Road
Yeah, yeah. Not talking about alcohol, but the two quilts I made for Mrs. T. Over the years she kept all her sons’ soccer and basketball jerseys. I’ve assembled them into quilts for them for Christmas. I finished sewing borders on the quilts today. You can barely see it, but in the corners of theContinue reading “Two for the Road”
I fall for fall
Fall. The perfect season. Cool, crisp mornings. Breezy afternoons. You can smell it in the air. Leaves are starting to change. And I cannot wait to wear my new fall goodies! I love fall afternoons. The weather is perfect to take little mister outside to play or bind a quilt. Just in time to ringContinue reading “I fall for fall”
Fall
Okay, so it’s not autumn but I am working on a fall themed quilt so I yearn for the crisp mornings and changing leaves. K was married in the fall, and it’s her favorite season, so we have a themed autograph quilt. What a great idea in lieu of a signing book! We might tweekContinue reading “Fall”
T-shirt Quilts
We woke up to snow this morning. A light dusting. Boy, was I surprised! I thought my eyes hadn’t adjusted to the very early morning light. It’s a bright, sunny day here in Atlanta. A nice breeze is blowing and it’s very cold here today. We ran a few errands because we had to, but prettyContinue reading “T-shirt Quilts”
Doing the things
Even during the holiday insanity I somehow managed to find time to quilt. I am teaching a new class at the shop this quarter. Quilting 102. Basically the class will teach beginning quilters how to sew triangles and get perfect points, flying geese and a few new quilting techniques. I hope the class is aContinue reading “Doing the things”
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Thanksgiving is over and Christmas will be here soon. I finished this commissioned piece. I’m really proud of it and think it turned out really well! I have the body of B’s two quilts assembled. Here’s a close up of one. I am hoping to get borders on this week. Yeah! Oh, what a reliefContinue reading “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”
I like this cup
Last week was tough. S kept waking up at night and we couldn’t figure out what was going on with him. He’s still up a bit more than I’d like, but I think we are nearing the end of that misery. Boo Boo came over on Saturday to give us some much needed relief. HusbandContinue reading “I like this cup”

I finished the quilt for S today. It looks so good, and I think she’ll be really pleased. The quilt is appropriately named “Million Babies”. Each square is a collage of photos that Dr. T has collected over the years. He delivered all the children in the photos. It’s pretty amazing to see how manyContinue reading “October 29, 2007”
