Gram's Birthday

On August 23rd 2010 we celebrated Gram's 80th Birthday with a HUGE surprise party that I started planning in March. We then (the ladies that sew on Fridays most of them with the help of a few other people) made gram a quilt. My cousin when the time came decided he would make an ice carving for the party.


This is what most of my summer was spent working on! With the exception of the wedding quilts I have been working on too.

Cake!

Gram and I made a cake for the shower today! Here is the cake!
Then here are the cupcakes I bought to go along with the beach theme!

Miss Parker's Quilt!

So as you all read a couple entries ago I had a huge disaster with the quilt I was giving my friends little girl! Well thank goodness for Gram because she and Adele helped me fix it!
I added the Tinkerbell to hide of the really bad spots! Then added all these cute little flowers from Adele around the quilt to hide a few other bad spots! I cheated on the binding. I usually hand sew my bindings on but this time I machine attached it! Didn't have enough time to sew it on.
Here are the pictures of Parker opening up the gift she loved it! As you can see by her smile! My friend said she had just asked for a new blanket for the couch when they are watching movies!




I am so happy she loved the quilt! I know she will be using it all the time! Now to finish up the one's for the weddings.... Who wants to help sew on bindings? One's a queen size quilt that's going to be a lot of binding!

Quilt from Jan

This is a quilt that Jan made she came one day with colors. Debbie and Judy helped her pick that colors for the center and then when we all got together the next time she had half the quilt done and then when we go together the time after that she had it done! I couldn't believe here! It's really pretty but I can't remember the name of the pattern at the moment!
This is the center of Jan's quilt. It's really pretty!

A Baby Shower Gift!

This is the baby shower gift I made for my second cousin. There is a snoopy fabric book and a little fleece blanket!

Busy Little Bee!

Been really busy around here. They switched me from working in the Orleans store to now working in the Chatham store. They needed someone with more knowledge over there. Was trying to get a quilt done for next Saturday for a bridal shower for my friend's little girl. I wanted to make something for her to open while her mom is opening up her gifts! I was trimming up the quilt when I found out that when I was quilting it the walking foot messed up and bunched the fabric together in a couple of spots. I FREAKED!!! I need this quilt next Saturday there is not a a lot of time between now and then!! So I called Adele Thursday and said HELP!!! We came to the conclusion that I needed to pull out part of the quilting and then in some of the spots I couldn't fix I am going to put some of Adele's flower Kut Ups to cover up the bad quilting! :-) Thank goodness we could figure out a way to fix it! So now I will be busting my butt to fix that before Saturday and still work all week! Who wants to help save me!! It's a good thing gram said she will do the appliqueing of the flowers and the Tinker Bell onto the quilt! It's never a dull moment around here!

Not a quilt but still cute!!

This is Little Lola... the newest addition to the family. We were sitting outside after we had gone potty and were getting rubs!!
And here's my baby snoozin away after a long day of riding around with me, doing some house work, and then being outside running around while I cooked dinner on the grill!

I will add some quilts soon I promise!
