Introduction

 Ok, so here I go! I have no idea what possessed me to start a blog. I love to sew and quilt (mostly quilt). I'm going to use this first post to kind of catch you up on some of the things I've done. Most of the quilts are given to people in my family. I did just finish a quilt that someone "ordered". It was for her little girl, all from her little girls flannel baby blankets. I need to bind a quilt that just came back from an amazing long-arm quilter, Charisma @ www.charismascorner.com, she named it Black and White Beauty. I just love her work, she is a great quilter and getting better all the time!
 This is for my Step MIL. She didn't want a lap size, just big enough to fit the back of her couch. This pic was taken at the QuiltingBoard meet and greet during the Shipshewana, IN Quilt show in 2011. Craftybear is helping me hold it up.
 This is the Spiderman Quilt for my son, Payton, He picked the colors himself and the pattern :)

This is my BFF Elizabeth, she loved the colors in a jelly roll and charm pack that I used in this quick lap quilt. Rule 1 If you fall in love with it on site then it has a good chance of becoming yours lol :)
 This one is a baby quilt for my Aunt Dessies youngest Daughter Candice's youngest child, Little Dessie! Did you follow that? I Made one for her older daughter Caprise's baby girl, Eden. I still need to make one for Candice's other child, Jacob.
 Meet Gabriella! My friend Natalie had this adorable little girl and I made her the baby blanket in the background.I don't mind not having a full shot of the quilt because she is just to darn cute laying on it!!!


These are not all of the quilts I've done but, they are the ones I remembered to take pictures of! lol
The black and white is the quilt top I sent to Charisma and I'll take some pictures after it has binding on it so you can see it finished and all the beautiful quilting she did. I am really excited since as trade for the quilting I am piecing two quilt tops for her, I'm almost done with one and will post it as I go and keep better track of the second!
Happy Quilting :)
