Hello Again

It's been a long time since I posted (had my little tantrum). I can barely remember how to do this. LOL It looks like it is a lot easier. Seems I got started on facebook and have a hard time getting away from it. We'll see what happens with the blog. Maybe I can find some things to talk about once in a while. :)

I'm done!!!

I cannot comment on anyone anymore. Blogger makes me sign in constantly and still won't let me comment. I've just had it. I don't know what to do or how to fix it.

Australia disaster

My heart just cries for all the death and destruction caused by the flooding in Toowoomba and all of Australia that is affected.

I received my swap from Melinda. Thank you Melinda! I love it all. The fat quarters are very pretty and match. Great little snap bag too. Melinda even wrapped her gifts in more fat quarters with selvedge ribbons. Great idea. Thanks to Aunt Pitty Pat for hosting.

Another bag done.

I met a cousin on facebook a couple of months ago. We haven't seen each other in over 40 years. After looking through my photos she decided she wanted a bag and one to match for her granddaughter. This is what I made. This is the Mini Bow Tucks bag by Penny Sturgis for Quilts Illustrated.

Bag jewelry for gramma's bag.


Bag jewelry for the little one.

Sandra and her husband live in Alabama. They are going to come down New Year's Eve to hear our group play at a private party. I can't wait to see her again.

Here is a diaper bag I did for an ex-neighbor. She loved it. Can you guess she's having a boy? LOL

Swap received

SewMamaSew had a bag swap and you should see the pretty bag I received from Bonnie! We each went to equilter.com and put our favorite fabrics in a wish list. Then the other could choose without fearing to hurt the other's feelings with a fabric they just didn't like.

Please take a look at Bonnie's blog. I also received a chocolate bar, key ring to match the bag and one of her original patterns of a dress to make for my granddaughter.

She put up photos of the bag she sent me. I will not put up my photos of hers yet until she receives it.

Swap sent

My swap partner should have gotten her swap by now so I post pics here. This is for my sew good friends yahoo group swap. I made her the bag, tissue holder, make-up bag, beaded zipper pull and a couple of magnets. Added a few other things that she mentioned she loved; angels and flamingos and pink fat quarter. Sure hope she likes it.

My first apron

This is the first apron I've ever made. As soon as I find some time I plan to make more. It was fun.

My precious girl

This is Daisy. She became my little girl about 2 months ago. My daughter Theresa didn't have room for her in her car when she moved back to Oklahoma. I can't tell you how much I love this little comedian. She runs, chases, retrieves and tumbles. She prances like a little bunny. And she is the best snuggler at night. Don't need a hot water bottle around here.



Here is her pillow and afghan under my desk.


I totally forgot about my win from Oak Hollow Primitives. Whispered Secrets From A Primitive Past was having a 12 days of Christmas giveaway.
Received my pretty ornament today.

More wins

I received my win from Quilt Bingo. 48 fat quarters! Thanks so much to Brooke and Greg for being such wonderful hosts.

Also, playing bingo over at The Quilt Shoppe's blog, In Stitches I won one of the daily prizes of a pattern and a Moda layer cake! I can't wait to see it. I've not had a layer cake before.

Fabulous Giveaway
