Cyd/Wy




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.

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

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.
