Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful family Christmas Great food, great fun and the family sharing

Tree decorated by the kids this year

My  5 Beautiful girls

 together thats what made this Christmas  so special.

The Bear Claw Quilt

It has been a year in the making, but at last it is done. 

Many fall colors, lots of work and also lots of love went into this quilt. 

It is a Christmas gift for my son and daughter-in-law.

Winter in Michigan

Well it's winter here  again.  Not really a snow lover but it is beautiful
when it first falls.  It is just not much fun to drive in.  Here is a few pics so you can get a feel of the season.

This is a pic of the yard after the 1st snow.

The front of the house
not too deep ...yet

It's Been A while......

Wow it has been months since my last post....

It has been a busy summer and I have not
quilted as much as I would have liked to,
 but I do have a few new projects underway.

I have also taken a few pics from my flower garden
which were really amazing in full bloom this year.
So I guess I will start there.

These are my faves. They just seem to get bigger
 and taller each year. The pink ones grew 3feet tall .

I love my flowering bush. It has not bloomed

 in 2 years, so I guess it likes all the rain and heat

we've had. It has been blooming for three weeks now. 

This is a pic of a little 3 toed tree frog that took up

residence in my grandaughters lawn chair.

He is there each morning hiding out in the shade of the deck..

He is lime green and gray.

Here is the new project I am working on.

My grandaughter Autumn loves everything Hello Kitty.

So we looked through her Kitty coloring book

 and picked out some pics for the blocks.

I have drawn up a design to use about 8 or so blocks

and some pretty borders and flowers to use too.

These are the blocks I have done so far.

Still have some embelishing to do on them but 

 I am  really enjoying creating them with my grandaughters

help. She is only 6, and she has  added her input

as to what will " really" make them look good.
