Quilting and books
I stayed up until 1AM this morning working on a customers quilt and I am sure tired today. I love it when I get a quilt finished and ready for another beauty to work on. I am currently listening to an audio book on my MP3 play…’To Kill a Mockingbird’…great book. I have watched the …
Fabric Galore
As I said in my last post, I went to my friends house and collected the fabric that she had. My friend passed away a couple of years ago and her husband was clearing out my friends sewing room. I am talking several hundred dollars worth of fabric, kits and patterns. All this will be …
Fabric from a friend

New pics of quilts
Yep, I did figure it out on how to put some of the quilt pics on the blog. Hope you enjoy. Life is surely good.
A brand New Year with big plans
