It's time to do a much overdue update!
This is the Bonnie Hunter winter mystery "Grand Illusion". She loves scrappy, but I did it more of a controlled scrappy.

Tops done, but not quilted.

Then there's the truly scrappy Log Cabin. It's king sized to fit our new bed. Floyd wanted it extra warm, so he went shopping on Ebay & got us wool Army blankets for the batting. Boy is this heavy!

More to come!

Boy have I not kept this up!
To update from last year, here's some things I made for a dear friend in Canada. JoJo is the head of Trucking for a Cure raising money for the Breast Cancer foundation in Canada. Here's her truck.

I'd told her I'd make some things for it to dress it up for shows. Here's the quilt.

I made these covers to go over her seats.

And a couple of pillow cases to go with the quilt.

I also donated this wallhanging for her raffle. It's called "Forever in our hearts".

May 2015 bring lots of awards & she raise lots of money for a worthy cause!

the last part...........

Here's Black Tie Affair. It took 2nd after the round robin, Bird in a cage.

Then there's my 2 Challenge Blocks. Third on the Hexie one, Honorable Mention on the leaves.

I had a great show!

awards continue......

I got Honorable Mention on my Carpenter Star. Silly me used white thread to piece it & got points knocked off for it.

Color Blaze got Honorable Mention for the same reason as Carpenter Star! Sure taught me a lesson! I really didn't expect anything on this one!

to be continued......................

I know, I've not kept up with the blog, but I've been getting ready for the annual quilt show. The results are in!  7 entries....8 ribbons!  Hurray!

This one is a wallhanging that was the round robin. Deb Cavanaugh did the quilting & Judy Lee did the embellishing. We took 1st place in class & Merit Honors on the quilting.

This is Rose Log Cabin. Pattern is from Deloa Jones. I had proposed this one to be the raffle quilt for 2015 to the guild, but they chose a Civil War one instead. Oh well! It now has a 2nd place ribbon on it!

Continued in next post......

 

Whew! I'm exhausted! This is the reason!

This is our newest addition to our  family!  Koal Gage entered this world at 5:43 p.m. Oct 1st.  Weighing in at 8 lbs 12 oz & 21 1/2" long.
Welcome to the family!

After all the sneek peeks.....here's the Carpenter's Star! All ready for the show!

I matched the binding to the border. I think it came out great!

Now let's see if it wins any ribbons!
