She's just so cute I had to put the other picture that she scanned into the computer. I'm home for work now and just checking stuff before heading to bed. It's 11:20pm I'm on evenings again tomorrow.
Had a good shift tonight.

My daughter was looking for a baby picture for her graduating year...yearbook. This is the one she choose.
I haven't really looked at these older pics in a long time. She turned 18 last month.
Time does fly. I'm off to work in a few minutes so this is very short.
Happy quilting,

Sunrise on morning in Jan. 2011 from my deck. Some of our sunrises and sunset are just awesome. I feel very blessed
to see so many of them.
Well another year was passed in my life. Today I turned a year older. What has happened to the years. They seem to fly by.
We took the kids out for lunch. Chris was working evenings so it had to be lunch instead of dinner. Had a lovely lunch with my family. Had lots of phone calls today as well, so that was very nice. I even got a little bit of sewing done.
Happy quilting to everyone.

I really like this pattern. Barb was working on this at retreat in Nov. It is on my to do list. Not too high at the moment. I don't have the pattern yet for it but one day.
I can't believe that it is Feb. already. Dave and I went to Florida for 2 weeks from Jan. 5 to 19. Stayed with my Mom and went on a 5 day cruise in the middle of the holiday. It was a great 2 weeks and a very nice cruise. I should really try to blog more often. Seems I just don't get to that page too often.
Happy quilting,
:)Carol

Me at the Nov. retreat. Merry Christmas to everyone. All the best in the coming New Year.
Hard to believe it is the day before Christmas already. I am off work for 5 days and hope to enjoy them and hopefully get some sewing done. I do have alot of reorganization to do as well but I need to get a few gifts made. A late wedding and baby quilt for 2 things.

These are 2 blocks that I learned how to make at retreat. I may do a whole quilt of them. You start with a 12 inch block and cut into 4 triangles. There is a template the draw on the main fabric and then you foundation sew on strips of any width.
I use these pieces as my tags to start and stop sewing on other items that I am quilting/sewing. I quite like the look of them. I just have to decide on the foundation fabric to make a whole quilt.
Wow, it's already the 6th of Dec. Where has the time gone.
I'm blog hopping at the moment with Henry Glass Designs. It has been fun and I've alot more patterns now. Interesting reading all of the blogs involved as well.
Merry Christmas to everyone. Happy quilting

I don't think that I've posted this yet. Hopefully not. Birthday block I made for Patti B. Another that I completed at the retreat. I quite enjoyed making this one.
I've not sewn much since. Got to get back to that. I did the hand sewing for my secret guild pal for our Christmas party. Will have to take a picture and post it soon.
Happy quilting.
