Just as I expected, the one on the axe handle was in chrysalis stage by the time I got up this morning. I had read that some will be green, some will be brown. Well, the one on the trash can is green, the one on the axe handle is brown. Now, we will just [...]

So, I went out about 6:00 pm and took these photos of the one on the trashcan. Not much noticeable difference, if any. I go out about 9:15 pm, and this is what I find. Dang! I missed the magic. The one on the axe still looks pretty much the same. But, I bet when [...]

Yay! I have been trying to find where my swallowtail caterpillars go, when they go into the chrysalis stage. Luckily, I walked out onto the patio with my son, as he was getting ready to go mow a lawn. I happened to look down at the trash can, right before he went to load it [...]

I finished the quilting on Betty’s 30′s prints quilt. The 30′s fabrics were from a jelly roll that another friend and I gave Betty for her birthday last year. I love 30′s prints and I think it’s a very lovely quilt! Betty is one of my dearest friends and I enjoy quilting for her. She [...]

Happy 4th of July to my fellow American readers! I haven’t worked on any of my own projects since I finished the quilting of my For the Love of Eleanor quilt. All my spare time has been spent quilting on client tops. So, this weekend, I decided to relax a little, and just have some [...]

I think I get more search hits on my blog, especially this time of year, about “caterpillars and dill” than I do quilting. Back when I first started this blog, I posted several posts about the Swallowtail butterflies and the caterpillars they begin life as, as I have dill and parsley planted, just so I [...]

I’ve been so busy with Mom, and Derek’s college orientation, and just trying to keep up with my customer quilting in what little spare time is left, that there just hasn’t been much time for blogging. Eventually, life will slow back down a bit, and I will get back into a more normal routine. That [...]

We found out the bone marrow biopsy was clear. AND…the tumor, which was toward the back of her tongue, and quite large, has shrunk so much injust over one week that you cannot even see it now! Her doctor was very happy yesterday! Next round of chemo is on the 11th. Thank you for all [...]

I finished this cute baby quilt, for a new client. She made the top, I did the quilting. I call this light custom, as there is no SID, and everything is freehand, no marking required. I enjoyed working on it. I took my Mom for her PET scan, bone marrow biopsy, and first round of [...]

I know I have posted this in couple of other places, such as MQR and Face Book, but for those that only read my blog, I will share an update about my Mom. I may just start putting all my updates here, so that those I interact with in other online forums don’t have to [...]

I’ve been a bit of a blog slacker, lately. Lots going on in life. I have been quilting. I quilted a Christmas themed friendship star signature quilt for Judy P. She mentioned putting a snowflake in the blocks, so I used my Circle Lord to make a “snowflake-ish” design in the large plain blocks. The [...]

Meant to get another blog post up before now, but life had other plans. Of course, there was district golf, and traveling for that. I happily and proudly present the 2010 District Champs! The first one on the left is MY golfer. Hopefully, I will be on the road to Lubbock Sunday, for the regional tournament, [...]

Lots of work on this one, but I think it was worth it. Erma, I hope you like it! No shots of the full quilt because this baby is big. This is all freehand work, So Fine thread and QD Request loft cotton batting. I love the back!

Soon, I will be finished with the DWR on the machine, and will have the finished pics of that to share with you. I have quite a little backlog of customer quilts waiting right now, so I have put aside my own projects for the moment, to stay up with that, as best as I [...]

I haven’t done a video for y’all in awhile, and I thought it might be fun for some of you see how I quilt the larger feather motif in the center of the DWR blocks. So here ya go! Many thanks to my awesome camera man, Derek!

The Perryton Rangers won first place! And my baby boy won 1st place individual. In fact, it was a medal sweep with the Rangers taking 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th individual, as well as 1st place team. Finishing out with a birdie putt to finish with an even par score of 72. I must mention that it [...]

I got to work on it for two hours this afternoon, after not being able to do anything on it since Sunday, when I finally finished all the CC’ing. I got one row of feathering completed. Only eight more to go…lol. It’s been a crazy, crazy week. Lots of things going on in my life right [...]

I am still doing the stabilizing (the continuous curve stitching) on Erma’s DWR, but I had to take a break from it and try out some feathers. The large feather motif is not a stencil. I drew it in and stitched it out, and am hopeful that I will be able to replicate it closely, [...]
