Quilts



The Wine and Chocolate Quilt for the Parkinson's Auction

The Wine and Chocolate Event at the Winery for the Parkinson's Foundation was a big success. My quilt sold at the auction for $100.  I was thrilled since it is the throw quilt size.  This is one of my favorite quilt patterns, I have made so many off of this pattern I think I need to retire it--at least for awhile!
A friends's child is expecting her first baby.  I made this Monkey quilt for her.  I still have to work on the monkey's noses--I couldn't quit come to grips with what looked right.

This shows the monkey that is hiding. sort of fuzzy but you get the idea.

I just ordered a quilt pattern called the "Cowgirl's  Closet".   I can't wait to get started on that one.

Skye's Snow Day

I thought I would never get tired of playing the snow---
however with Skye------she could go 24/7!!
This look, she gets from her Aunt Ally. 
Ally will even fetch pebbles--so when we taught Skye
 to fetch we got "Big Ball"--we only play f
etch with big things she can hardly carry.


Please---take only a small break
 PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE??

Another Snowy Day

I never get tired of the snow. We were at Vintage today finalizing the plans for our house. I couldn't resist this picture looking down our street. My reading group usually meets at the town hall (below). Today however the boys opted for building a snowman--after all, how many times do you get to build a snowman?



When I got home I took Skye for a walk. She loves the snow. After a long walk, making sure she got dog prints over every inch of the park, we returned to find this pretty setting right in our back yard. Usually covered with finches, I had forgotten to fill the feeder. It looked like a snow covered cabin in the woods.
