Happy Birthday

I'm enjoying turning 62 today. I'm very blessed to have a wonderful family and friends. It is great to have quilting in my life because of the wonderful quilter friends that I have made and to be able to express my creativity. Our quilt guild(Mid Valley Quilt Guild) is having their Quilt Show starting tomorrow thru Sat. I entered 2 art quilts and 1 wall size quilt. I'm going to be a hostess/white glove quilter for the show on Thurs and Fri from 9-12. It should be a lot of fun. More pictures and news on the Quilt Show later. We will celebrate my B-Day with my friends Paige, Lee, Mike and of course my wonderful husband Wayne at Red Lobster. Wayne and I are going to McMinnville for his dentist appt and I'm going to Boesma's to shop for fabric. You get 25% off on your birthday!!! It is a beautiful day with sunny skies and temp in the mid 70's. Life is Good!!

Happy April

I love April because it is my birthday month and it is Spring. I finished 2 projects in the last 2 months. I took a class with Melinda Bula in July 2011 at Sisters. It was a 2 days class called Zinnia. I was able to get almost done and finished it at home in August 2011. I don't believe in having UFO's but my Zinnia finally got finished with the thread play in March. It took me 2 weeks every day to get all the colors done. I wanted to get it finished to take to Sisters this year to show Melinda. I'm taking her 2 days class called Hibiscus in July. I love her classes and was unable to take her class in Houston in 2011. I was able to show her my Coneflower that I did and she loved it. I'm very pleased with my Zinnia. I used Sulky Rayon thread which made the flower power pop on it. Here are a few pictures of my Zinnia.
