Someone to watch over me.....

This was in my driveway this morning.  Kinda makes you feel like you have a guardian angel!

Wow How Time Flies!

Has it really been since 2010 since my last post? Wow I can't believe it. My computer got a virus and I could not get anything to post. I lost my Grandma on the 30th of December that year and lost a little steam. Then in 2011 we got two more grandbaby girls, Baby K and Baby K! The littlest Baby K was a preemie born at 2lbs 12 oz. and has had a lot of challenges, but both are little cuties. I have made alot of baby blankets lately since I've had daughters and friends having babies. I love that it doesn't stop! Anyway, a boring post with no pictures but I will definitely work on getting my act together and post some of the quilts I have done. Still need to work on getting that dragonfly on my door! Wow - what a lazy girl! Busy mind full of ideas though!

I HEART the Garden!!!

The most perfect little acorn squash growing on an old wagon wheel in my garden - And - I actually have strawberries growing in a topsy turvy! Love It!

I need some inspiration!!!!!!!.......

Encouragement!!!!!!!........Energy!!!!!!!.......Ambition!!!!!!.......Steam!!!!!!!.......God knows I have enough projects waiting!!!!!!!!..........What is the deal!!!!!!

Full Moon Forest Owl Quilt Finished - My favorite!!!

This is actually my very first quilt that I finally finished. The pictures aren't the best, but I quilted around all the owls and all the little bunnies in the fabric. It will be fun to sit with my granddaughter and find them all. This fabric is so fun - I love it!

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

Pinwheels and Flowers

I finished this cute little baby quilt! Another baby will get to be wrapped up in cuteness!

Baby K is born and I need to get busy!

Well, while I was finishing Baby R's quilt - My sister had her new little Baby Girl. So this is my next project. I run about two months behind it seems. But at least they get it before they are graduating from high school, or something like that!

Butterfly Quilt for Baby R

I finished this cute little quilt for my friend's daughter's baby. I like it. I quilted around the butterfly blocks and then I quilted some cute butterfly's around the border! I like the way it turned out.

A Little Stack of Butterflys

I just finished these butterfly blocks for a baby quilt for Baby R. She was born this month - I better hurry!!!

Our Owl is Back

Our little owl is back. Usually we don't see him until December but this year October! Does that mean we are going to be hit hard with Snow? I hope not!!! We can hear him out there hooting all summer, but when it gets cold he gets in our tree. He seems bigger this year.

Finished my Quilt for Baby E

So excited to get this one done!

Just a Bag

I have been so busy holding the new baby I have not worked on quilting much - but I am trying to get back into it now - especially that it is getting darker earlier - boo! So I made this cute bag.

So Happy.....

My little grandaughter is here and she is so beautiful - My Heart is full!

Pretty in Pink for Baby E

I just finished this cute quilt top for my friend's new baby. I think I might quilt it with flowers all over, since I had so much fun with those on little Baby B's quilt.

I have no willpower.....

I couldn't wait. I just couldn't. I couldn't stand walking past my sewing room and seeing the blank spot anymore. I was in Target and I admit it was on impulse, but this sewing machine came with a walking foot....a walking foot! That's all I needed to know. It was on sale for only $99 and that was fine with me. So I bought it. It's a Brother XL-3750. I'm very excited to get to know it. At least it will keep me going until I get my Pfaff back or until I buy a new Pfaff someday.

Sew Mama Sew Sewing Machine Meme

Weird that I was just crying about missing my sewing machine that is broken and then I saw this today! So here is my response:

I have a Pfaff 1222E Electronic.

I have had it a little over 24years.

I am not sure what the cost was. At the time I worked at my Dad's fabric store and he gave it to me when I was pregnant with my daughter. They sold them there, but I can't remember the cost.

I used to sew alot when my kids were little. Then it sat for years. I just started quilting about a year ago and brought it out again.

I love my machine. I have't named it but I should. I love it so much.

I haven't used all the features, but I like the walking foot built in. I love that I have a million feet for it.

The only thing that drives me nuts right now is it is broken, and I am hoping to get it fixed. Probably got brittle sitting all those years. I am so hoping it is fixable. I don't think I can live without it!!!! I was dragging it around with me, but I am now going to find another one to drag around and I will leave this one home and treat it kindly. This blog will be so helpful to find something new.

I told my story earlier. I have so many memories on this machine. I wish for it to be fixed! I want it to be happy sewing!

I would recommend this machine to others, because it is a good one. I'm sure this one is not made anymore.

My dream machine would be to get this one back. Please oh Please let it be fixable.

Missing You....... Boo Hoo

My sewing machine that I've had forever died and I am so sad. I miss it every day. I'm hoping it's fixable because I don't think I can live without it Seriously. My heart is wrapped around it. But I have been kind of looking around for an inexpensive one that I can drag around and if I can get this one fixed I'll leave it at home and pamper it like I should have. Anyone found any good deals on a simple machine that they love?

Finished Baby Quilt

I'm so excited to have finished my first quilt! I used my sewing machine to quilt it. I outlined the blocks, and then I used a cute flower stencil I found. My pictures aren't the greatest, but I really like how it turned out. I can't wait to give it to my new grandbaby this summer!

Broken

Sorry to be so boring. For some reason my camera won't connect to the computer. So before I take any pictures of all the quilts I'm making....Ha Ha....I have to figure it out. Actually, I have been working on some. I took my horoscope to heart.
