The Work in Progress

This is the newest quilt I am working on.  It is called Cowgirl's closet.  The pattern is by

The jeans are hanging in the closet on hangers and the two pairs of boots are in the closet below. I am going to modify it and put a tiny little pair of baby boots in the middle in either pink or blue--for my cousin's first grandchild.  There will be a mitered border that will go all the way around it.  So far just putting it together has been a real challenge--cutting out the appliques and getting them all sewed on.  This one, might have actually been easier to do by hand--and if it doesn't turn out like I want it to, I might indeed do it over by hand--and just keep this one for reference--so far so good though.

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??
