Finishing Something...

I know I procrastinate! I have a baby shower to go to Sunday at 4pm. Today is Monday and I am partially finished.

Design Wall: Donation Quilt

I am a member of Wilkes County Quilt Guild


Every year as a group we make quilts for the children at Ebnezer's Children's Home

Stipling/ Leah Day Designs

I went to a workshop yesterday where we learned (thru DVDs) how to do Stipling. I had never heard of it. It is a type of free motion quilting where the stitches never touch.

Here is a video of Leah Day's Stipling



And a photo of my first attempt to stiple.

This moment...

A Friday ritual, a single photo, no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. -Soulemama

So glad my son and daughter are safe. They were in Tokyo March 11.

New York, New York....it's a wonderful town

Japanese Fabric

Those close to me know that both of my children were in Tokyo during the devastating earthquake. They were shaken up pretty good but safe. Melanie was visiting her brother during her spring break and is now home safely. Eric is still living in Japan and tells me he is safe. I talked to him on skype and feel good about seeing him.

Melanie brought fabric home from Japan. I always love getting fabric but from Japan is even better.

I think the pictures aren't good but here they are.
