aliens





I loved this fabric when I saw it, so big surprise, I bought it. I made it with a kid in mind. The colors are bright, it has polyester batting for ease and speed in washing and drying and it is the right size for a nap.

New Purse and, of course, Sam



This week I finally got the Lone Star Rally t-shirt quilt off the quilting machine. It's 100 inches by 100 inches and took a while to quilt and bind. Pictures later!

Right now, look at my new purse. I love the batik and it has 10 pockets. I took a picture and then filled it up. Pockets are good.

Sam still assists me whenever I am quilting. But in this picture he was watching me make my purse.

Lone Star quilt is next.

Sam in a Box


Many quilters use pizza type boxes to store quilt pieces that have been cut, but not sewn together. The boxes keep the pieces in order and easy to find.

I know this same story has been told here before . . . I walked away from my work table for a minute and when I returned Sam was sitting in the box with the fabric and the pattern. He stayed long enough for me to get the camera and take his picture.

Lone Star Bike Rally - 2010



We went to the Lone star Bike Rally in November 2010. Just me and 450,000 other people! Downtown Galveston is called the Strand. Early in the morning, before everyone is awake. the Strand looks like the first picture. The Strand looked a little different during the Lone Star Rally (second picture).
