New Quilt Pattern.

So, here is my new quilt pattern, up and running!!! It is called Stars and Strips. It is my biggest quilt to date measuring 60" x 72". I used Simple Abundance by Bonnie and Camille for Moda. Super easy! And great for using up that stash!!

Sorry Guys!

Sorry I have not been around for a while. I did not make it into the finalist selection for the quilt contest I was in, but that is ok! I still have a beautiful quilt that I am now using every single day!! Also my husband and I have been working on relocating his business, and renovating the new location, he ended up getting hurt one day, and was rushed in an ambulance to the ER. He broke two ribs on his back side. It took a good few weeks of constant care and help (plus taking care of the kiddos) but he is now doing and feeling better. He will be sore for a while, but he is back to working (or shall I say fixing up still).
On the quilting front, I am finishing writing my pattern for my quilt that I did enter into that contest. I hope to have that done this week. I also have a cute skirt that is almost complete. I will post some pictures soon. Now that things are getting better, and the kids routine in school is getting somewhat smoother, I am hoping to start quilting and sewing a lot more, so keep checking back!!
Thanks for reading, and I am going to have a giveaway when my pattern is ready to sell!!

I will leave you with some pictures of the sunsets here out in my yard these past few weeks!

It's Voting Time!!!

Contest here

I was just let know that my entry is number 131. There are only 15 quilts moving on to the next round!!!

This is the most important thing I have ever done, I am hoping to win the sewing machine (mine is an old Singer Sewing Machine I bought at Walmart over 10 years ago, and she now gets real hot and smells funny when I sew.) , as it is amazing, and honestly, I will never own one unless something like this happens. The added bonus of the pattern getting published is pretty amazing also, but for me, is trying to win the machine. I normally do not ask people for help like this, but this is important!! I really appreciate your time, and I believe you can go back each day and vote again, so if you do, I will forever be in your debt!!! Thank you all~really!!! THANK YOU

If you go and vote, come back and let me know, maybe I will put together something special for one of the people who votes and comes back to let me know. Not a giveaway, but a special gift, from me to you!!!
I really do appreciate this, you do not know how important this is for me!!!

Quilt finished

I just finished this quilt. I made it with the leftover fabric scraps from the quilt I made my son. I figured seems that he loves his quilt so much, and I had plenty of scraps left, I made one for sale and listed it in my shop.
