Adjusting....

Sorry I have been a bad blogger...we have been adjusting to returning to school. This is a picture of my daughter and I on the first day of school. My daughter is a freshman at the high school where I teach. Easier for me,but possibly hard for her. :) She is on the tennis team....so basically,no time to sew! Adjusting to going back to school is always difficult! :)

DQS7 !!!

This is the lovely doll quilt I received from Shelley for round 7 of the Doll Quilt Swap. I just love it! She nailed my likes! Civil war bow ties...doesn't get any better than this! The really odd thing is,I don't have a single fabric in this quilt in my extensive collection of repro fabric! Many thanks Shelley for this wonderful little gem!

Last Days of Summer

Well...just a few more days of summer vacation left before I report back to school. It has been a great summer. I did some cleaning and tossing-not as much as I wanted,but a start. Did lots of quilting also. I am in the middle of a serious cleanout of my messy cram-packed sewing room. This picture is of my sister and I on our family vacation. We all had cabins at Salt Fork state park in Ohio to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday.

My Virtual Entry

Hot off the press...or should I say dryer?! All warm and crinkly. This little baby contains 75 different fabrics from my scrapbag...plus a 76th for the border and binding. It is handquilted...and is for my partner in the 7th round of the Doll Quilt Swap group on Flickr. I hope she likes it! I like it so much I am going to make myself a lap sized version.

Sometime this week I will post information about my give away! Keep checking cause it is gonna be good! :)

Tomorrow is the Virtual Show

Just a reminder....that tomorrow is the virtual show and give-away....and I may not make it till Sunday! I am knee-deep in Doll Quilt Swap Round 7 so will probably post on SUnday my mini and give away....what a loser! :)

Last chance to hop on over to Doll Quilt Swap Round 7 on Flickr......

Baby Quilt

Ok...so the real question is: did I clean the sewing room? Wellllll....half of it. I still need to do the armoire and closet. But...had to take a time out to make this cute little patriotic quiltie for a baby boy whose daddy is a service man. What do you think? Nice and crinkly!
