It definitely wasn't a quilting weekend....but just as fun! 3 of my granddaughters descended on Grandpa and I for 2 nights!

The family home has been sorted and sold and my craft room is finally back to being my craft room. Was still having trouble getting back to quilting so I set myself a couple of goals for the year. I want to learn to paper piece and machine quilt. I live in an area that doesn't have a lot of variety of classes being offered, and I didn't want to…
ContinueThank you Karen for liking my pinwheel quilt, I think I will leave the buttons off, if I knew that they would only use as a wall hanging then it would be fine, but I do not want to take the chance with whoever buys the quilt
Thank You Karen, I need another 50 years to do all the fun projects that tempt me.
Hi Karen, Just took a look at your photos and enjoyed them all. Bags, doll clothes and quilts, all so nice. It's nice to see little ones learning to sew.
I love your work. Your granddaughter looked like she enjoyed herself making her gingerbread doll. Turned out very cute.
Of course, silly girl. I would have asked long ago...but I haven't figured out how. mary
