Long awaited quilt to finally be completed

Over the last oh lets say 4 years.. I am sure I am being a bit short but I am going to leave it at 4! I have been working on such a wonderful Quilt for my Mother in Law. I first noticed it in a quilt magazine and knew right away that it was the quilt I had to make for her. With this being the case I started almost immediately but I had no fabric.. This is also the beginning of an obsession I thought I got rid of about 8 years ago. I went thru a little self something I don't even know what it was and got rid of EVERYTHING.. I mean if it had craft in it I gave it away or sent it to the second hand store. I know life was getting me down but I was sick of toting things around that I NEVER.. NEVER finish. So years later here I am again with a room full of awesomeness and nothing getting completed :D Oh well in my eyes I would rather think of what I am trying to complete for the ones I love and not give myself such ridiculous time frames :D.

So on with the story of this beautiful quilt that finally has been received and is making her warm and came at the perfect time she had a cold.. So it comforted her when she needed it most.

I could not have asked for a better quilter she did such an amazing job and she helped fix so many problems I had with it all along.

So from now on you will be hearing from me more often because this is such a great way to get all my ideas out of my head and guess what its my page so I can do whatever I want. So follow me I am betting it going to be an amazing Journey

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...

As I sit here and reflect on 2016, I have realized this has been one of the best years I have had. I believe it is because I choose to make this year all about me. Might seem a bit selfish but sometimes it has to be that way in order for you to help take care of others you need to take care of you. I started a long time ago to finish my education and was a huge goal for 2016 to make sure I did exactly that. It has been one year since I have retired from the U.S. Coast Guard and it was time to finish what I had started all those years ago. As of December 2016 I did exactly that and finished with my AAS with Major in Accounting. I also started on another journey that I have had a problem with for many years. Crossfit was something I had heard of and was scared to try. More than a few occasions I walked in the door and walked right the hell back out. Who in the right mind sweats like that and gets beat and comes back the next day to say, Hi, Im...

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...
