Can't Sleep!

It's January 17, early am ! Got up at 3am ,couldn't sleep! Those darn Allergy meds!

I've been quilting like crazy the past week! Trying to get all of my customer quilts done! Only 2 to go, well 3 really, still taking out a row on one :(

Debbie from Elk Horn quilt co, has made a great quilt with the new Amy Butler Love!

She also made a really nice quilt from a Joel Dewberry line! She has some great fabrics in her online shop http://www.elkhornquilts.com/ Check her out!

Yesterday, I quilted a quilt for a customer! It turned out great! Then spent the remainder of the day cutting out all the bedding for our New Grandbaby Maddie, due here in May! Mommy Carissa picked out some great fabrics, Lady Bugs is the theme! Do you know how hard it is to find Ladybug fabric! I think this will be a very cute baby room! Going to the Tuscon Quilt show next week with friends, and to help Debbie out in her booth! So of course, I had to get everything cut before going! That takes so long, and the least fun of quilting!

I hope I get it all done, quilt, bumpers, and skirt! Wish me luck!

My Friend Debbie R, as we call her, has trusted me in picking out and kitting a quilt for her. She wants black,white and red.. So I called Debbie D., from Elkhorn, and we did it! We will use Mark Lipinski line, in black and white and red for the pattern Fire Escape! May have to do one for myself! Lucky girl who will get this quilt!

Keep Quilting and Creating! Sandy

My Beautiful grandchildren left this morning.. heading back to PA.. to the snowy country! They had a great time! So did I.. they are growing up so fast!

Just wanted to say Happy New Year!

HAPPY HOLIDAY'S

Hope all of you had a great Christmas! We did.. Our son came over with his new family, and our daughter joined us as well, we had a late breakfast, and then we all opened out gifts! I am so spoiled! My husband got me a tv for the kitchen! Maybe I won't have to listen to football while I cook or craft! All my gifts were great! but the best was having my family here, all together! That is better than anything!

Today our grandchildren came from PA. We had a great time, Bryan and Carissa brought breakfast, we ate and opened gifts! The kids spent most of the time outside in the "warm" sunshine. They are pale as ghost again, their beautiful tans from the the summer are all gone!

Oh well, summer will be here soon, and then they will spend a couple of months working on their tans, while swimming in Grammie's pool! Sydney loved it outside so much, we had a hard time getting her to come in. Jessie, the pug, loved having them here, she was outside with all the kids! Our grandchildren are growing up! Does that mean we are getting OLD!

Here's to a wonderful New Year! See ya after the first! Sandy

This table topper was pieced by my good friend Chris from Colorado, She was learning a new block! She loved it! I did too! and then she quilted it herself!! Great Job Chris!

Pieced by Rose Omoto, Torrence, Ca! She did a fabulous job! I Quilted it with custom loops and stars! She loved it!! Thanks Rose for allowing me to quilt for you!

Pieced by Penny! Great Quilt! She said she was keeping this one for herself! I hope you do!!

One week until Christmas!!

Happy Holidays! I had a great time today with my quilting friends, we went to lunch at a great pizza place in Scottsdale, and we visited a wonderful new quilt shop! The Olde World Quilt Shoppe in Cave Creek!

Of course, we found some great fabrics, and got inspired to create again!

I thought I would pass on some pics of quilts I have been working on!

Happy Holidays! MY GRANDKIDS are COMING!!!

(this is My Husband Mike and our Daughter Jaime!

I am sitting here thinking how quickly our lives are flying by! You know your getting older when that starts to happen!!



Christmas is just around the corner, I am quilting away on some great quilts! I will post them soon. My brain is working overtime, I want to make something special for all my friends and family, but where will I get the time!?



We had a great Thanksgiving! We had our first Breakfast at night dinner on the eve, and we all wore Jammies! How fun that was! I will post a couple of pics!



Well I hope everyone is on the road to creating something wonderful for all those special people in your life!

Until we chat again, Happy Crafting!

OOPS! It,s been awhile!

Well, it looks like I have completely neglected my space!! I've been busy, not sure why that would be an excuse, but I'll use it! My gammill was down for a couple of weeks, kinda stressful, as I had a beautiful red, black, and white log cabin on. It turned out great! Sorry no picture!

Just got back from Payson, Arizona. There was a small, and I mean small quilt show, that my good friend Elkhorn Quilt Co. was vending at. Sharon Schamber and Christie were there. Sharon held classes in her studio and her daughter manned to booth! She is so sweet and due to have a new little bundle soon! A new Grand-baby for Sharon what a nice Christmas gift!

Of course, I forgot my camera, I sometimes think I am loosing my mind! I sure hope not!

We stayed at our GREAT friend, Chris's "cabin" it's really a very beautiful custom home. So we sewed, sewed and sewed! Nine pillow cases for my family! Merry Christmas! Started a Black, red, and white quilt, only started, because the" Professional bag", that Chris and I just had to make, took 14 hours, from start to finish! But they looked great when we finished.

I will post pics later! Have a wonderful pre-Thanksgiving weekend!
