WOW February 24, 2016


As always it seems like every week goes so fast.  I spent most of my week working on my second Sue Spargo block.  I find I’m just obsessed with these as soon as I start them and can’t seem to stop until I’m done. 

I also worked on two pillows for my friend that’s having a baby to decorate the baby’s room these will look nice on the glider.  This first one is finished and the second one is quilted but needs to be sewn to make the pillow.  I should get the pillow forms by the end of the week so I will take photos when they are stuffed.



 

We also had her baby shower this weekend and she loved her quilt so that was really nice to see her reaction.  Her mother-in-law hosted the shower and I made the cake I was really happy with the way it turned out yummy and beautiful at the same time. I love making these naked cakes with fresh flowers so much easier then sugar flowers and fondant.

Inside of the Cake so Yummy Vanilla sour cream cake, pastry cream, cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit.
 




Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

WoW February 16, 2016


So again my week was devoted to my Harry Potter quilt.  I have completed quite a few more blocks.  Everyone keeps asking me who are you making this for?  Thinking that I will say for some child and I just respond it’s for me!!!





I also have good/bad personal news my daughter bought a condo and will be moving out next month.  I’m so happy and proud of her she has saved and worked so hard but on the other hand my baby, best friend and sewing partner is leaving me.  I know she is only moving seven miles away I but I will miss having breakfast together before work and just the closeness from being in the same house.  On the other hand I will have a lot more room in my house so that will be good.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week.
Regards,

WOW February 10, 2016




I finished the quilt that I was working on for the quilt show but unfortunately I did not get a photo yet so I will have to show you next week.  Getting that done freed me up to work on my Harry Potter quilt that I started about a year ago and it has been really neglected.  I’m excited to work on it again and I’m hoping that I can finish it this year.  These are the blocks that I finished the last two weeks. 






This is my second block for the Jennifer Reynold BOM.
