My First Pattern!

I have made many, many quilts, but always using a published pattern. Now, my first pattern is complete. It is called Sam's Favorite. The pattern will be included with a quilt kit in my etsy store.

The pattern has been tested and tested and now there is a quilt in my etsy store that was made from the pattern. It will also be the picture with the pattern.

Take a look!

Port of Galveston

The Port of Galveston is getting busier. The Carnival Magic now comes into Galveston and it is HUGE! The passenger terminals look very small in comparison to the ship. Can't wait for the first Disney ship to come in. I think it might have ears. I'll try to get a pciture.

2011 Holidays

The holidays were very busy for me. Much shopping, cooking and visitng. But not much quilting. I did buy more fabric to make a Mardis Gras quilt, a sports quilt and some nice patterns.

Baby, the feline boss that prefers completed quilts, took over the Christmas quilt around the bottom of the tree. I would straighten it up and she would move it around to sit on!

David's Quilt

My friend Teresa knows I make t-shirt quilts. She asked me to make her son, David, a quilt with his school t-shirts. He graduated last spring and went off to college in the fall.

Teresa brought me the shirts and I spread them out to look at them on my work table. The colors are varied and should make a nice quilt.

The Bosses New Toys

I ordered the feline bosses some new catnip toys called "Snakey Mice". They are long tubes filled with polyfill and catnip, they also have braided tails and ears! Baby was in love immediately and placed with them for a couple hours. Sam walked around them and smelled them, but wouldn't touch the toys. He is more cautious than Baby, but I don't think he will be able to resist the catnip much longer!

Emily's Quilt

Emily's quilt is done! She is a student at St. Edwards University in Austin, TX. The quilt is a Christmas present from her Dad.

Black and White with a Twist of Lime

I enjoy making black and white quilts. Usually I mix in a little red, but this time, I used lime green!
