Happy Birthday Debbie!

January 29 was my sister, Debbie's birthday! Sorry this is late ~ I finally found some time to find my pictures & then scan them in! My photography is not the best but here are a few!
I think this is her 4th birthday.

Walls of Jericho

I finally figured out how to put this square together. The first one is my practice one. I was going to make it out of muslin but then I went down & picked out some of mom's material. When it was all finished I really liked it. But I decided to make the one out of the material that I bought~I really like that one too! I am so surprised at how great they are all turning out so far. They are the right size too!

My Machine Wasn't Broken!

When my thread broke last night I should have threaded the machine over with the foot down so there was tension but I didn't so there was no tension at all when I started sewing again! I'm so relieved! So here is the finished, final Garden of Eden square! Now I am ready to make the Sarah square!

Happy Birthday Chris!

My baby girl is going to be 34 years old tomorrow, February 9! I can't believe it! She had her roller skating party last night & it was so much fun! Chris on the moonlight skate with Pastor Ken
Family & friends taking time out from skating for snacks!


Trevor & his buddy, Fletcher~who reminds me of Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory TV show that's on Monday nights at 7:00PM.


Happy Birthday Chris Anne! I love you!


Practice Quilt Square

This is my practice square of the Garden of Eden~I like how it turned out but I cut the white squares 4 1/2 inches instead of just 4 inches! It will be a nice pillow someday!
This is the new "good" Garden of Eden quilt square~! I couldn't finish it because something happened to my bobbin case so I am very sad about that! I will take it back to the shop tomorrow in between the 100 other things I have to do!

I'm back! Meet my new Friend!

My new sewing machine! I made a quilt square in an hour tonight! Here it is...It's called The Garden of Eden. I am doing a Bible Study with Jane called Twelve Extraordinary Women. The first one was Eve & this is her square!

I am a little disappointed that it isn't even~maybe when I get my 1/4 inch foot it will be better!
