Here is our youngest grandaughter, Bridget, sitting on the quilt I made & sent to her. Looks like both the girls love their quilts & are putting them to good use!
Here is the "I Spy" quilt I made especially for our older grandaughter Sydney, who lives in CA, & turned 4 on May 27th. This is her first quilt from me, & I hope to be sending her more as time moves on. She really seems to love this one, so Grandma is happy too!
This one, is one block I have always wanted to try, but it always looked so intimidating! Then, I found a good quilt mag article, with great instructions, as well as, how-to pics. So this the result & I think I have gotten over my intimidation regarding this particular block. The name of it is, of course, Tumbling Blocks. I went for the scrappy look, which I have come to realize, I love & actually prefer, & I really like the results so far!
Since my new, all time, favorite pastime is quilting, I need to post a pic of one of my creations. I guess it should be my first BIG quilt that lies on our queen size bed now. It is in batik fabrics, with a rail fence block design, then, Rod & I added the borders from there, & produced this beautiful quilt! Here is the result....

I have been happily married to my best friend & soulmate for over 22 yrs now. We live just outside Asheville, NC, in the wooded mountain countryside. I am a domestic goddess once again, after quitting work several years ago,& hubby retired two & a half years ago! Now we both enjoy our free time, doing things we really enjoy!
