long time

So its been a while....

I have been busy. About 4 projects in the works...all needing full attention. Can't wait to share some of them completed in the next week.

Do any of you feel as though you can't get anything done...like you have so many balls in the air that you are about to drop them all...?

newest completed project

Here is the latest project I have completed. A little table runner for my entry way. The pattern came from Anka's Treasures...their Little Charmers II pattern. It went together really easily. It used a charm pack and then fabric for the back and binding. Would definitely make another one and reuse the block pattern for a quilt.

Also finished this little number for a friend who just gave birth to a sweet baby girl. Used Simpliciy It's so Easy patter number 2913. Turned out so stinkin' cute! Makes me want another girl. :)

Here is the family picture from our family reunion this past week in New Mexico. Quite the handsome bunch if you ask me!

Baby Toys

Here are the baby toys I made for a shower gift recently. I used the pattern off of Michael Miller Fabrics Blog, http://makingitfun.blogspot.com/. They have some really great patterns for baby gifts you may want to make and give. I didn't have the fun black, white and red fabric, so I just got out the most colorful fabric I could find. I think they were a hit. I also adapted the pattern to make 3 smaller, two-sided toys...for the diaperbag or what have you. You should check out some of the other patterns they have.

Baby Quilt for Michael

This is the quilt top I made for our driver's new baby girl. I finally completed it a couple months ago and gave it to him as a gift. Since he and his wife plan on having many more children, the red, yellow and blue will be great as a hand-me-down to younger siblings, boy and girl alike.

The Crack Fabric Quilt almost complete

Well a long time ago I showed a sample quilt square using the lovely Nigerian Crack Fabric I found here in Nigeria. Well, here is the completed quilt...almost. I still have to bind it and finish it out. But I thought I would share since it has been FOREVER since I posted something. My inspiration for this quilt came from Kaffe Fasset's book Museum Quilts.

Maybe I should make it a goal to post every two weeks or something...lord knows I need some kind of goal...

One of the Best

I have to say...one of the best classical music songs of all time has to be Canon by Pachelbel. It is beautiful, and emotive. It never fails to create a feeling in me. I love the bittersweet melody and the swells.
