Here are the two pups and their quilts I made them for Christmas. They seem to enjoy them...LOL

Cyd's Breakfast Pie

1 lb. breakfast sausage

1 can rotel tomatoes

2 C. grated sharp cheddar cheese

4 large eggs

1 can evaporated mile (5 oz)

2 unbaked pie shells

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brown sausage, add tomatoes, let cook down a little. Mix in 1 1/2 cups cheese and divide mixture evenly between the pie shells. Mix eggs and milk and pour evenly over the sausage mixture, and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 40-45 minutes until center of each pie is set. You can make this recipe as "spicy" as you'd like, use hot sausage, hot rotel, or even pepper jack cheese in place of cheddar cheese, do a little or a lot what ever suits your taste! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do

Merry Christmas

Here's that Graham's Quilted Tote I finished to take as my carry on to Arizona. It really is a good pattern, and I like the size and the pocket divisions. I did them a little different then the pattern for my use.

Judy

Here's the quilt I was talking about in the chat room. It's 122" x 146"...have NO idea where she's going to use it.

Cyd/WY

This is the Animal Minkee Quilt I've been talking about. It is SO HEAVY, but will be very warm, and it's so cozy feeling! I love it...so does my DIL...so I'll have to make another one! I was very surprised at how simple it was, it's a quilt as you go, the flip method and went together nicely. I would definitely change how they do their binding next time, but I'm on a perpetual learning curve! LOL

The 2010 "Leftovers" in Arkansas

Cyd....Margie....BB (Bonnie)
First hand view of the "Sweat shop" Linda cleared out all the furniture in her Pool House and we had lots of room for everyone to sew!

Dinner at Monte Ne Chicken (delicious!) Starting on the left front: Margie (AR), Gloria
(TX), Cathy (TX), Albe (WY) right front: Debbie (TX), Bonnie (TX), Cyd (WY-TX), Jeannie
(WY) and our hostess with the mostess Linda (AR-WY)

AlBe, Debbie, Cathy and Bonnie making a toast poolside!

The whole group with the "2010 Leftover" Aprons we all made and the personal bags and the cups with labels that Linda and Cyd made for everyone.

We had a total of 8 quilters from Wyoming/Texas and Arkansas with a combination of some of us from two of those states! Plus Margie was able to come by and visit a couple of times and went out to dinner with us one night. We had the BEST time...we had a special project everyday, the accomodations were superb, food was excellent, a steady supply of chocolate, wine and cheese by the poolside every night, after dinner a relaxing chat at the hot tub...it was just wonderful.

Margie/AR

This is a picture taken just before they left for home.
Lily, Merilee, Alex, Frank, Marge, Francis and Faith.

Margie/AR

Well, as you can see, she is the apple of Frank's eye. She dearly loves him too. Always telling him in a soft voice, I love you pawpaw.

I was encouraged to give her some fabric scraps. This purple was long but very narrow and she wanted it cut into 5 pieces. This is what she did with it. She had more scraps than this.

This poor cat, or what's left of it, goes everywhere with Faith...in the car and for naps. She calls him MeowMeow. And if you didn't notice, she loves hats.

This is a picture of Lily who just turned 13. A straight A student in school and a joy to have around.
And last of all here is a picture of me with my sweet pea.

Grandma and Faith

Judy

It's almost finished!!!

Judy

Got this info this morning.........thought I would pass it on to you quilters. Doesn't sound good.....



"Unfortunately all fabrics are going up to $10 + a yard due to the shortage of greige goods and the fact that Pakistan is holding cotton goods and won’t sell to anyone! So blame Pakistan!!!! We have managed to keep our fabrics under $10 for the most part, but that is not going to be the case very soon. "

Might be a good excuse to stock up............LOL

Judy

Just wanted to share a picture of Max. Busy morning playing with Tobe. Kenli says I have to clean him....NOT.....LOL

BB and Debbie's Great Adventure

Bonnie peeking through the "oldest jail in Wyoming" (I tried to get her to behave!)
This is one of 4 Great Horned Owls we saw in a friend's yard. There were the mom and dad and two little ones. They were facinating to watch!

What are the chances of this??? The mom and dad and baby Bald Eagle. We went to a great quilt shop in Urie, Wyoming and then went through Seedskadee National Refuge on the way back.

This is place to die for...it's called Green River Lakes, and Square Top Mountain in the background. It was a bumpy dusty road out there, but we went as far you you can travel in motorized vehicles. Left to right, my good friend AlBe, BB, and Debbie.

This is of course where it all started, they flew into Jackson Hole our nearest airport. We drove into Teton Park and went site seeing in Jackson, then drove home to Pinedale that first day.

BB and Debbie (another friend from TX) came to visit me last week. We had so much fun, some of you followed along with us in spirit every day! Just a few pictures to share

This is the orchid given to me Tuesday. Never have grown them before.

Peggy

This is the Christening Gown... the buttons are great Mic...thanks

Peggy/TX

Little African Girl Dresses

They are simple to make and good for their warm country. Hope the little girls enjoy them.

Margie - ARK

One is just a simple quilt for Faith with Dora the Explorer on it. Guess it goes all over with her.
The other is a lovely doll that a friend of mine here had, new in box and said send it to Faith. She was surprised and loved it.

Judy

Here's a bag I just finished, super easy but will make some changes on the suggested interfacing on the next one.

Sue/MI

BB/TX

These two quilts are the absolute end of all my Cherrywood fabrics from past projects. Both expertly quilted by Nancy Parkinson

Meet in the Middle Wednesday

Here's the picture of us about to jump into all of those onion rings....they are really good. After lunch we took off to the quilt shop, fondled fabric, oo'd and aa'd over the samples on the wall and came home with a few treasures.

Cyd/WY

This is one of a set of placemats I did for a gift. They are out of the Fast and Furious Quilting as you go. They are super easy, and I really like them. Now to make a set for me!

This is a bag I made for our daughter, Andrea to travel to Ethiopia to meet her new children. She and James (her husband) are adopting a brother and sister. They are there right now and just met them two days ago. They won't be able to bring them home for another 4-12 weeks. I'll post pictures of them when I can.

Welcome

Margie/ARK

The front half of the building is her sewing room full of nice collections. And lots of room to sew. There are 6 long tables and plenty of desk type chairs. A cutting table, shelving on one side to hold books and etc. On the opposite wall are bins with fabrics in it covered by hanging antique clothing. Above that is her collection of old sewing machines. The picture I put on here is only part of them. The front wall has many things in shadow boxes. I meant to ask her what size the room was but it is big! And so bright with central heat and air in it. And it is located way out in the country. That's the best part, it's quiet. And when weather is cooler in the fall, we will sit and do handwork on the porch. She had 12 of us there last week for our weekly get together. It was potluck. And this lucky gal also has the accu quilter cutter which we are going to use soon
