New projects

Here are a few of the things I have been working on lately.  I finally finished the Orca Bay Mystery Quilt with Bonnie Hunter! 
I absolutely love this quilt.  It was such fun working on it with thousands of others worldwide and I cannot wait to get it quilted!!

Here is another I finished a couple of months ago.  It is called Gemstones.
Here is the quilt from our local quilt shop retreat in Southampton in February....

And a cute little Christmas tree that was designed by our local quilt shop teacher Diane using the Lil Twister tool.  Sorry it is sideways...couldn't get it turned around.

I love my quilting so much....it gives me such joy to finish a project and see the final product.

On a sadder note....on Easter Sunday my Mom's oldest sister, Trudy, was found dead in her apartment.  Mom and her other sister, Ellen, are both devastated by this loss.  The three of them were always together.  They didn't do anything without each other.  My Mom has had so many losses  in her life.  I wish I knew how to make it easier for her.  She has her faith to comfort her and I am so thankful for that. 

I am off to my sewing room now to finish up assembling the blocks on a crazy quilt I am working on. 

See you next time....
