Quilting from the heart
I will say this if you would have told me that 6 months ago I would have fallen in love with quiliting as much as I have, I wouldnt believe you.  This is quilt #8 that I have finished but only #2 that I have been able to post since I have not given them to the recipiants yet. Since I learned all of this on my own by trial and error I also figured I would show you some of the work as I have finished it.
This is one panel complete now to finish it up and get it to the quilters.  Because I have not learned how to do that just yet but it is on my list of things to learn.

I cant tell you how much I loved this tool that I purchased for myself since no one bought it for me off my Christmas List :D and I will say besides my sewing machine this is used almost as much a Jill lol.

And this is the progress of the blocks.  Sometimes I am my own worst enemy since its all about line and linning up.  OH MY WORD sometimes this is the worst for me.

My daughter (Alyssa Burns) thought that the fabric was ugly but I told her sometimes its seems that way but when put together with something beautiful it does not seem ugly at all.  In this case I know I was right and I loved them all together.

I think you see what Im talking about because this is so beautiful and the colors go SOOO well together.  I absolutely love it.  And I am sure Julie Coyle did too she freaked out.

Again my daughter didnt like this block at all and thought it very Ugly.



And as you can tell this all came together so dang good that I couldn't wait to get it to the quilters and send it on to the recipient.  This was such a treat to do and I knew when Julie got it she would also be just as pleased as I was.  I love doing this for people because it gives me an opportunity to say a little prayer for every stitch.  When I sew a quilt for someone I think of all the great times I had with this person and say prayers along the way.  I know this blanket will keep her warm and safe and I couldnt ask for a better thing.

Until next time which is hopefully soon you will see some more amazing, beautiful and exciting things from me.

Happy Fathers Day to all the amazing men in my life and God Is Amazing.

Embarking on a new Journey

In a few short days I'll be heading into an unknown world.  I will be leaving a job I've grown to enjoy immensely and start my trek to Spring Mountain for our hike on the Appalachian Trail.  I should bounce back to about 5 years ago when we moved to State College Pennsylvania.  My husband and I moved here with our two youngest children, Danielle and Emma.  We were starting our new lives after retiring from the United States Coast Guard.  I started working at Penn State University.  While I was enjoying our journey thus far, something happened, and I came across a man who was journaling his entire trip on the Appalachian Trail.  I was intrigued to say the least.  I went home with so much excitement and told my husband wouldn't it be AMAZING to take this journey and be free to hike all day and enjoy the wilderness.  Let's just say my husband's comments were not as exciting as mine.  One of his comments were do you know how far that is, and...

Something Old Something New

I am not talking about weddings :D But today is one of those days when I have laughed, I have cried, and I have had many hours of myself which could be good and bad for all those involved in my life. I love to sew and I have been working on a quilt I have wanted to do for so long.  The Pattern is called Autumn Ablaze from Quilting Celebrations www.quiltingcelebrations.com .  Its from the Fall 2012 magazine, this will also tell you how long I have been wanting to do this.  See you all should believe me when I tell you this is a year all about me. So that gives you an Idea of what I have been doing this past week, plus many others more.  I have about 10 projects that I am always working on, I do tend to get bored with just one so when I see something I just jump right in and sew my little heart out.  Maybe one of these days I will actually finish a project without putting it aside for something else... Nah that is to predictable..   I was t...
