Happy Spring





It is offical spring but I think anyone told mother nature because it has been snowing here all day. It is a very wet snow with about 3-4". It is suppose to snow thur the night. Thank goodness I don't work until this weekend because the snow could get icy tonight.
I worked on my quilt called Serendipity last week. It was the 2nd quilt done on my new machine. It was fun to plan the quilt out and try new quilting on it. I finished put on the binding on Sunday.
I found a cute small quilt in the Easy Quilts Fons and Porter called Josie's Star. I finished this quilt about 2 weeks ago. I used some of my Sweet Pea fabric. It is a great spring quilt.
I worked on McKenna Ryan Home Tweet Home "High Wren" yesterday and today. It is a cute little quilt.
I don't have any quilts ready to quilt so will fix a practice quilt on the machine. I will decided tomorrow what new projects to start on. Here are pictures of Serendipity and Josie's Star.

Happy National Quilt Day and St Patrick's Day

This Saturday is National Quilting Day to celebrate quilting in the USA. I'm so glad I learned how to quilt 10 years ago. It is the most fun hobby to have in my life. I finished a small wall hanging last week and finished a twin size quilt today. The twin size quilt was my 2nd quilt done on the Pfaff Grandquilter 18.8. This was a perfect week to quilt because of the stormy wet weather. It was great therapy for me after having bad week at work(last week).
I have a few quilting quotes that I like about quilting:
1) I work for fabric.
2)When life goes to pieces try quilting
3)When life gives you scrapes-make a quilt
4)May all of your ups and downs in life be with a needle and thread
I will post some pictures of my latest quilts soon.

Happy Quilting!!

I'm Irish so will celebrate St Patricks's Day too.

It's a New Day


This has been a very hard week for me because of my job. I feel that I'm doing the best job I can do under alot of stress/hardwork/long hours but it isn't good enough. I'm lucky to have a supportive husband and my quilting. Quilting helps me relax and feel better about myself. I'm going to keep a postive attitude and postive thoughts.

Happy March





Hooray, I'm glad it is March and that spring is around the corner. I was off all last week so put my 1st quilt on my new Pfaff Grandquilter 18.8. It was so much fun using the Quilt Artist to design the quilting on it. It was great to have a much BIGGER area to doing quilting on it. I used variegated thread and had no problems with breakage or tension on backing. I can't wait to put another quilt on the machine. I will post a few pictures of the quilt.
