Well I wanted this to go under the Aerosmith quilt but here it is on top. Oh well, this is my favorite winter quilt I have made so far. It is a conventional pattern, both of theses quilts were quilted on my sewing machine before I purchased my longarm.


Let us rock in the New Year with an Aerosmith quilt. This is my favorite band, my son bought me tickets to an outdoor concert a couple years ago for my birthday, hence I needed a quilt to sit on. As you can probably guess from my posts my quilts are not very conventional. As my husband says I like to color outside the lines. Have a great New Year.

This quilt I made for my mother last Christmas. She loves frogs and I found this embroidery card in which I embroidered out and put into a quilt for her. The size is 47width by 57 length. She can use it as a lap quilt as she watches t.v.


This is the quilt I made last Christmas for my daughter. She at one time loved Hello Kitty, but I have found out now that this is no longer true. Oh well, she now has a large Hello Kitty quilt from her mother. I offered to take it back but she refused. Someday she will have a child that will like it.

I have started working on a Christmas quilt. I found the pattern in Quiltmaker. It is the Twist and Shout pattern that I am using beige snowflake fabric for the light colored and red/green fabric for the dark colored. I hope it turns out as I see it in my minds eye, doesn't always work out that way. Sometimes they turn out better than I imagined but others times not as well. All the quilts eventually find a home. Good evening and enjoy the last few days of 2005

With bowl season upon us I thought I would try my luck at posting a picture so here it is. This is the quilt I made for my son last year for Christmas. As you can see he attends USC. He majors in electrical engineering. What a smart kid, and an adorable child. Remember to root forUSC Trojans on Jan 4. They are playing against the Texas Longhorns. Fight on Trojans.

Well here it is the 27th of December and what have I done? Back to work today. I did shop yesterday, purchased about 85 yards of fabric to use as backing on quilts. I finished one quilt over the week-end and am starting on another. When I have more time after this short work week I will figure out how to post pictures and start posting some pictures of my quilts and such. Not much else to say right now, I most certainly enjoy looking at others quilts and can't wait to start sharing mine.
