Star Light Star Bright

I made this quilt for a special little boy who's been dealing with some tough stuff.
I think the bright yellows, oranges, blues and greens are cheerful colors.
And stars always bring hope that wishes will come true.
Our thoughts and prayers and with Charlie and his family.

June Showers Finally Bring Flowers

The month of June thus far has been gloomy, wet and cold. Depressing, really. Today was the first day we've seen the sun in over a week.
To celebrate, I took some outdoor photos of the flower applique quilt I finished (after starting it like 4 years ago!).
Let's hope this sunny, warm weather is here to stay for the rest of the summer!

Make Up Bag

I made this bag from this book. The fabric is from Jo-ann Fabrics. I used the interfacing called for in the book, but because I used quilting cotton instead of a heavy weight, it didn't have as much body as I would have liked for a bag with that much shape.

A Work in Progress

I am working on revamping- something I've wanted to do for a long time but just always put it to the bottom of my "to do" pile.

So please, pardon my mess as I redo, and learn along the way.
