Just checking in...

Hello friends! Again a week (or more) has gone by without a post...I try, really I do, but life is hectic and boring for the most part. I do have a beautiful quilt to share with you all today though. This quilt was made by my little sister, Pamela, for our Mom's birthday.

Isn't it gorgeous! She did a wonderful job on it and she has only been sewing/quilting for just under a year!!!! Good job Pam, I'm excited to see what you come up with next!!!

Oh and I finished my Pie's and Tart's quilt top completely!!!

I'm not sure how I want this quilted yet so this will go into the quilt closet for a little while. I started this quilt in February 2009 and finished May 2010 and it was a bom that I did through Sue Daley. I added in lots of background fabrics from what was sent and even added other fabrics, just to make it more my own. I really enjoyed making this quilt and I'm a little lost without having it to work on :o)

Right now I'm working on some embroidery blocks in the evenings and a little Kaffe in my sewing room. Love that Kaffe Fassett fabric and his books too. I think I've got them all. They work very well as coffee table books, as they are so beautiful!

Here are some pictures of our yard. Everything looks so pretty...Jay really has a knack for laying it out and keeping things beautiful.

Hopefully the summer won't be too hot and dry and we will get to enjoy all this without running the sprinklers all the time.
It's a 3 day weekend coming up in the United States to honor & remember all of our service men and women who've died while in service to our Country. Thank you to them and their families for the sacrifice. May you have a Blessed Memorial Day weekend. Be safe! ranette
