Elephants!
I ordered some of this
wonderful fabric
to make a pillowcase for Carly,
Matt's girlfriend, who loves
anything elephant!
Unbelievably, nothing from my stash worked
so I am headed to my LQS
tomorrow to get coordinating fabrics.

Beads!
(Sorry for the turned picture.
It is the right way on my screen, but
not when I upload to blogger)
Marisa brought these beads
home for me 2 years ago after
she spent the summer in Israel..
She strung them today, and I love them!

Bloggers' Quilt Festival- Marisa's T-shirt Quilt!
Welcome visitors from the
Bloggers' Quilt Festival!!
I will always be grateful to Amy,
because the festival is the reason
I started blogging in the Fall of 2009
The quilt I have chosen to share
is very special to me.
I made it for my wonderful daughter
Marisa,
who just finished her Freshman year
at Syracuse University.
It is a T shirt quilt made from
old, favorite T-shirts of her childhood.
Also, it has wonderful novelty fabrics,
many of which she helped me pick out!!
It was quilted by Melinda at
who did an absolutely amazing job!
It was truly a labor of love!

Stay tuned!

2 kids, 2 cars part 2
In case you were
wondering,
this is what moving
2 kids home at once looks like.
Now to get it absorbed into the proper place.
Camp, school or room!!
2nd load of laundry in process.
Great to have them home!!

Back home from an overnight to Syracuse
to bring home
Matthew and Marisa.
2 cars packed to the gills,
beautiful day for a drive,
5 hours uninterrupted
one on one time with the kids...
PRICELESS!!

French braid, again
The last time I posted about
my french braid quilt was in the beginning
of December.
Sadly, my design wall looks the same today,
May 1st.
Today, I finished 2 quilts
I put binding on for a friend.
I need to finish up this project so
I can begin working on Matt's quilt.
Hopefully, I will get this finished up this week
before the kids come home from college.
