Favorite Things
One of my favorite things to do is make a quilt and give it as a gift. I like to see the smile on the recipients face when they open the package. In my workplace I started the tradition of making a baby quilt for co-workers first baby. This has given me great pleasure over the years. One year I was very busy because three sets of twins were born. It was fun making twin quilts.
Once the mom and dad to be have selected a theme or color choice they let me know. It is always fun to hunt for the perfect fabric. The internet has been a great help in finding some really interesting fabric to go with the theme choses. I recently finished a Nautical Theme and a Patriotic Theme. I found the Patriotic Theme fabric online in a store in California. Love the internet. Dad was a Helicopter Pilot in the Navy. I found fabric with helicopters landing on a ship.
I also completed quilts to donate to the shelter where my sister volunteers. I spoke about her work in an earlier post. I will post pictures of some of my baby quilts on my next blog post.

2012 Block of the Month - Completed
I thought that I would show you the completed quilt that I made in the 2012 class. At the end of the class you have a lap quilt but I added additional blocks to make a queen size quilt. I gave it away as a gift.

It has been a long time since I have posted anything. I've had many starts and stops. It has been a little over two years since my mom passed and I think the second year was harder than the first. I do feel I am moving forward now. I completed a few quilts and am working on three block of the month lap quilts. My good friend Mar asked me to teach her how to quilt and she is now doing two block of the month quilts with me. I have also completed three baby quilts which I will post for you to see. So I hope you will continue to follow me and also let me know what crafts you are working on.
