June is almost over???




This month has just flown by. Here are 2 quilts of the 3 quilts that I finished last week. The Christmas quilt was a gift for my friend Cindy. I gave it to her yesterday & she just love it, woohoo!
The sweets quilt I'm keeping for me. But, I also made a 3rd quilt with the sweets fabric. That one I made for my friend Jeannette, she loves hers too. I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her though so I'll have to get that later.
Otherwise, we haven't been up to too much. The kids and I have seen a few movies, went to the Alameda County Fair and Marine World. Catch ya later!

I know it's been a while.... here's what's new

So this is what's new. It was a busy May ............. We had a turkey visit the back yard. I guess she was just out strolling the neighborhood.

Channel 2 news was doing a story on the crossing guards at our elem. school. Dh & dd along with Billy Bob, as well as our neighbors and their pooch, wanted to be on the evening news. ;) They are famous now .... ;)

Our water heater sprung a leak all over the garage. It's all fixed now, but since we had to take almost everything out of there & then put back in a hurry, we had a lot of stuff everywhere. Dh & I spent the 3 day weekend reorganizing the garage. Look what I found ..... and it still fits almost 18 years later! Dd is holding up the train .... what a helper ;)

Dd's softball team finished in 2nd place this year! WOOHOO! Congratulations girls it was an awesome season!

Here's a rag quilt that I just finished today. I really like how it turned out! I'm keeping this one for me ;) ..... I have enough leftover blocks to make a 5x5 block baby size quilt too.

That's it for now. Catch ya later!

Happy Monday!
This weekend was so relaxing. I love those kinds of weekends.
Friday night I called my cousin and he & his buddies had an extra ticke to see "Duran Duran" so of course said I'd love to go. We had an awesome time! I just love them & thanks Chris for the T-shirt!
DD won her softball game Saturday morning - Go A's! I spent some time sewing in the afternoon, I'm working on a rag quilt.
Yesterday was the same, spent time sewing and watching movies.
DD has a game tonight and today just the usual errands and sewing. Have a great day!

Oops! Here are those pictures....

It's has been a busy few days around here. My nieces are here for a visit. They brought their Mommy & Daddy with them. Here is a picute of them on Uncle Steve's motorcycle.

My brother (their Daddy) brought the quilt I made him 10 years ago for some much needed repair. Here is a picture of the girls helping me make those repairs & a picture of the finished patches. All done with love, of course. I fused on the patches and then did a zig sag stitch for a little extra "quilting". I had "tied" the quilt when I made it and it has been well worn/used. It really needed "quilting" so hopefully they can use if for another 10 years.

Meet Billy Bob, he looked so cute. I just had to share this picture of him!



It took 12 years of quilting but I finally got my custom built sewing table. I'm so excited! I just love it! I've also taken a picture of my restored fabric stash. I am so ready to quilt quilt quilt....
