new pictures

Haven't written in a few months.  Stuff is afly'in....do have one new quilt I will take a picture and post.  Have been cleaning out scraps to give away.  Preparing our rental house for sale.....much work involved, hopefull can get on market by Oct 1, 2013....and need to make a trip to Florida to see family. 

I made this quilt in January of 2012 - My sister Jeneen called and needed something colorful.  So she received this - I is coupled with a tiffany lamp and yellow bed cover.  It sounds like it found a great home. 

Baby shower things

I have been quilting just haven't posted anything lately.  My Granddaughter JenaCarol is have a baby girl in June, so I have been doing things for the nursery.  This is what is complete so far.  I have just sent a baby quilt to my cousin JoAnn in California to quilt, and a banner to embroider for a Hanky quilt with the babies name.  Now to get the rocker finished.

Just heard from Lenea that she finished putting the name and date on the Pink baby quilt for her granddaughter Brooklyn.  Have given several prayer squares that I need to log....falling behind.   And its time to work on Christmas already.

Latest Prayer Squares

Scraps

Bought a new magazine for inspiration "S is for Scraps" and have taken my scrap stash and cut into various sizes of squares.  Great part-time job - goes faster than you would think.  Working on another Pink for Little Girl and putting together colors for  a quilt out of the new book.  Always a new direction to head into.  

Gave away the pink

My friend Lenea came in from Florida to see her beautiful new granddaughter Brooklyn Rose Howe, so I gave her the latest Pink quilt to give to the baby.  She will embroider the baby's name and birthdate, but I am so pleased it will have a new home.  I have been busy with Prayers Squares, I will need to take on Gospel Trip at the end of June.  I am amazed at the number Karen and I have distributed in the past year, it has been a blessed mission for the two of us.  We are waiting to hear how we did in the McCall's Quilting Contest - Amateur division.  It was a great conversation item, we will be thrilled if we get to go on.
