About Me

My photo
I love quilting, crazy quilting is my favorite. I have started a dear jane quilt and hope to get it done someday. I am a grandmother and great grandmother, and enjoy spending time with grandkids. I am a caregiver and do alterations for a living. I have recently lost my dh and am trying to get back to life, which is hard. I started dancing lessons and am active in my local quilt guild.

I am making winter postcards for swapping in Feb with the worldwide crazy quilters group.  This is my two WIP postcards for that swap.
Joined the CQJP2013 and I have decided to make pages to celebrate my DH's life with me.  I lost him last Dec and I have been wanting to do something like this, and decided that this is the perfect time and way to honor him.  My first page is actually going to be the Nov block, even though it is suppose to start with the January block.  We were married Nov 27, 1993 and this is for him,  This is my first block pieced.

I love doing round robins.  This is a row x row red, white and blue round robin I did and finally got it together and quilted last year. There was seven of us that did a row and I had it finished last year to put on my couch for the 4th of July.
I loved doing holiday quilts.

My alterations that I do.  My customers think I can figure out anything,  the sweater had some spots on it and my customer wanted to know if I could fix it.  I crocheted flowers and added stems.  I hope she likes it.
Just added my block for crazy quilting round robin.  This is going to be fun. 

My model showing off my block.  They always have to get into the thick of things.

Ok, I just joined a swap to make some post cards.  I am hoping this will give me a jump start to getting back into quilting and start doing things.  I can't seem to get much done cause I start thinking about my dh and how much I miss him.  My friends have been helping me, but I really need my sewing.  Keep me in your prayers that I will start getting stuff done again.
