My Niece Connie

I have added something new to my sidebar and it is called "My Journey" and it is my niece's blog.
She is going through cancer treatments. She is a very strong and determined lady. I still have Asher's blog about his journey through his brain tumor. They are both in my prayers every day.
Asher has been through a tough journey and he is a tough little guy. Connie and Asher are very dear to my heart and I am blessed to have them as part of my family.

Inspiration

Sometimes I need a little inspiration and I read my niece's blog about her journey going through her recent double mastectomy. She is so strong, upbeat and just beautiful inside and out. She is a nurse and was so very caring to my mother and sister. So after reading her blog I felt her inspiration and now I am ready to work on a quilt project. Sometimes I just need a little boost and say "get going". So I am working on a scrappy quilt that I found on Bonnie Hunter's site using her leader ender concept. Just using my scraps and knowing it will not make a dent, but so what. I am going to be productive. So off I go to my sewing room.

New Year 2011

I ended with 2010 not being very inspired, but enjoyed Christmas. So I am back to working on projects both old and new. I did not do any projects from Dec 14-Dec 31. I went to the guild this past Tues and worked with some scraps and yesterday I went to Chickasha with friends to sew at the Quilt Shop. I have been busy today and plan to sew some this evening. Will meet with my Saturday group tomorrow all day to sew and have some lunch. Not looking forward to a cold week this coming week. Weatherman says we might have some snow. We haven't had any yet and feel so sorry for those that have had more than their share. So I am off to my sewing room to get inspired. Happy New Year everyone.

The Quilt Lady

Happy Six Month Birthday

Well, Joy, my boxer will be 6 months old this week. Her name suits her as she is truly a joy. We graduated from our first "college" class and Joy has her diploma. In a couple of weeks we will be enrolled in another class. Mama loves you Joy.

Another Purse And Christmas Table Topper

Today I finished another purse while at my Saturday Group that I started with a 3rd Thursday Group. LOL I know, that sentence makes sense to me as I belong to several groups and what I don't finish in one I will finish in another. I have also finished piecing a Christmas table topper that I started in my Tuesday Guild and finished in my Thursday Group in Chickasha. LOL Oh well, it all eventually gets done.

Quilt Dog

It is said you can tell a quilter by the threads on their clothes. Well, does the same hold true for the quilter's dog???

Reversible Purse

Some of us from our local guild went over to the First Baptist Church in Newcastle and made a reversible purse. They will be making purses once a month for the next three months. Here's how mine turned out.

"Joy" loves to play

Joy loves to play with anything-here she is playing with her stick. She is 3 1/2 months now.

Smooch

Aw Mom, just one little smooch --please?

Tiger Playing

Tiger has had breakfast and now it is time to play.

Isn't She Cute

We have renamed our new boxer puppy to "Tiger" And that she is.

My Surprise Gift

My husband surprised me with a gift tonight, 9 week old boxer puppy. Her name is Alli. My son has "Shelter Dogs of Oklahoma", so Alli is a rescue puppy. I am so thrilled to have her and I think she is so beautiful.

Thread Catcher

made a new thread catcher today. I cannot take credit for this, but I will tell you I found it on Bonnie Hunters Quiltville blog. I saw it awhile back and just got around to making it. Thanks Bonnie for sharing this on your blog. It was fast and so easy to make.

Butterfly Quilt Finished

Yea!! My butterfly quilt is now completed with the binding. I am a happy camper now. To me, it is always good to get a project done and crossed off of my "UFO Project To Do List" So now I am off to pick out another UFO to work on. I always say I make quilt tops, but, now I am starting to say I make "quilts". Hmm, which UFO should I pick to work on now, the list is long.
