Here is the latest T-Shirt quilt that I made. It is the first one that I have quilted all over. Usually I just quilt in the ditch. It was fun. Not as bad as I thought. I love the way the white thread pops off the black sashing.
How to Hang a Quilt Tutorial
I was surfing Pinterest and came across a pin about how to hang a quilt. It is super easy and just had to share it. The tutorial is from Amy @ Amy a La Mode. Definitely gonna try this.
Lady Bug Burp Cloth and Bib
I found a little time for some embroidery and applique today. I appliqued a lady bug from Applique Alley on a burp cloth today. I also embroidered one on a bib. They are too cute.
Oh and I embroidered this Christmas design on a hand towel the other day. I am thinking it will definitely be hanging up this Christmas.
God Bless!
Nautical Themed Baby Quilt
I used the Moda Nautical and Nice charm pack to make the above quilt. I didn’t use many of the light colored charms. I like how the squares float off of the blue fabric. To me it resembles square life preservers.
I free motion quilted the baby quilt with a wave pattern using a cream colored thread from Ken’s Sewing Center. The fabric on the back is a Noah’s Ark print that I got a ton of years ago at a thrift store. I think I may have enough left for one more baby quilt back.
Santa Rosa Quilt Guild BOM for July
Joyce Wood, a Co Chairperson for the Santa Rosa Quilt Guild in California contacted me a while back about using the True Blue quilt block pattern I designed for their July (BOM) block of the month. She is going to send me a picture of the winner with all of the blocks they won.
Needless to say I was flabbergasted and still am. It is an honor to be contacted by others who want to make quilts from the patterns I design. It is gratifying to know that other people read my blog and like the patterns. Hopefully soon I will have time to work on more free patterns.

Andrew’s New Shirt
I appliqued and embroidered this shirt for Andrew Saturday evening for him to wear to church yesterday. He looked so cute. Of course I couldn’t get him to let me take a picture of him with it on. Maybe next time.
T-Shirt Quilt and Pacifier Clips
Green Alien Applique
I got this embroidery and applique design from Applique Alley. Tested it out tonight on a shirt for Andrew. He said he wants to wear it to church.
Thirty One Expand-A-Tote Day Extender
Had to share a picture of the Expand-A-Tote Day Extender from Thirty One Gifts that I just embroidered for a friend. A few minutes of frustration while hooping, 10 minutes of stitching and watching, and Voila! 
Just a side note, Thirty One Gifts doesn’t embroider these bags. It is made of a water resistant lining and embroidering it compromises this.
Junior Prom 2012
Last night was the junior prom for our oldest son Timmy and his girlfriend Fallyn. We went to UNA to take pictures before they left for dinner. They make a beautiful couple.
