Ahhhh...High School memories

Just back from the reunion, and had a great time there. Got to visit with my best friend from school, my friend I still keep up with, as well as see how the handsome boys turned out.Everybody seemed to enjoy the evening and look forward to the next one in five years. Now, it's back to work.

Holiday weekend

I took a little time to get caught up on my own projects and it was fun! Here are a couple of photos of my quilts in progress. I need to quilt the big one, but the piecing is all done. The little wall quilt was fun to do and now I'm adding a bit of applique to it. Tomorrow it's back to customer work, but for today, I'm on a lark!

The fun never ends at WAZOO!

I'm counting down the days until I go to my (gulp!) 40th class reunion. It's work as usual, but I'm always wondering how it will play out. Forty years... I'm forty years fatter and sassier, but still fun to be with, if I do say so myself. Look out LaFollette class of 1971!
Until then, it's quilting and more quilting! This week so far I have worked on the biggest quilt I have ever done, and a couple of really nice custom jobs. It finally rained here and my husband and all his landscaping plants are very pleased. It's always easier to work when it's raining outside the window. The photos prove that!! Enjoy!

Quilting for my family

I took a couple of my days off to make two family quilts. The black/white/pink/yellow one is for my guest room bed and the gray/brown dots Irish chain is for my daughter's guest room. Hopefully, I'll get back to them the next day off...Meanwhile, back to work!

WAZOO! Quilting studio

I actually cleaned my studio over the weekend and had to quickly take some photos before it gets back to normal! Enjoy the slides and come see me some time!

Finishing up some of my projects

Over the holiday weekend I finished some of my UFOs. The bright strippy block quilt was from my retreat. The simple squares quilts are for hospice. They are memory quilts given to the patient for visitors and family members write messages on. When the patient passes, the quilt is given to the family as a memorial. Our guild makes these and gives them to a local hospice. The little raccoon quilt is for the head start charity project where a quilt is presented to every child in their day care program. Both of my guilds do this.
Now, I am back to the customer work. It was nice to take a few days and get some of my things done.Makes me happy!!

Work and fun DO mix!

I have had some nice quilts to do over the last few days. It just proves that if we like what we do, the work becomes fun. This was the cse with these quilts. Done and out the door! I know I'm happy.

WAZOO! May 2011 Retreat

We are home from Sebring and once again, I didn't take nearly all the photos I had planned to take. Seems we get having so much fun that I forget about the camera! Oh well, next time I will try harder. Enjoy the show!

All in a week's work

Wow! It has been a busy week with sewing, quilting and physical therapy for my shoulder. I made another sample for the up-coming retreat, a tee shirt quilt for a customer's daughter, and quilted three custom quilts. Everybody is getting itchy to get quilting in Sebring starting Sunday. Be sure to come back next week and see another fun slideshow from the Kenilworth Lodge. Meanwhile, enjoy photos of this week's quilts.

Quilts for family

I took a couple of days to work on my daughter's wall quilt as well as my sister's quilt for a friend. There are loads of quilts waiting, so I have to hurry up and get to it! Green and blue is my sister's quilt (it was an absolutely perfectly made quilt...I am jealous of her piecing skill) bright southwestern quilt is for my daughter who has moved to Arizona. It's going in her office.
