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!

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!

Linus Project

Well yesturday was Linus Project. Lynn and I have been working our butts off for yesturday with the help of Judy, Jan and Adele. We tried to let Adele have this year off since she has so much other stuff going on! I think all in all it was a very productive day and we had a very good time. I think cutting all the kits really helped with everything going smoothly. A lot of people expressed interest in have it twice a year and also have it one of the times be a two day thing. So we shall see! It would all work out a little bit better if we had more donations that were age appropriate. But the money donation that we got from the Guild this month did help. So hopefully we can convince people to give a little more even though we all know how the times are! If not money then looking through their stash! We had 30 quilts finished last night when we packed up and about 15 kits I think that were not finished and taken home so hopefully we will see those come back and then a few more! Lynn took these pictures through out the day!This was first thing in the morning. We were all happy and giddy then! To bad Lynn didn't get a picture at the end of the day when we were all looking for our beds!Here's one of me that Lynn snapped to send to Jean so she says! HaHa! This was one of the kits Lynn and I put the colors together and cut!

This is one group of the quilts that were finished.

This is the second half. Look at all those colorful quilts!

Opinions needed please!

Ok, So I am trying to tidy things up and take up less space with all the boxes filled with projects. I bought a dresser that has SIX! whole drawers that i can put my projects in. My question is, can i put them in zip lock bags and not seal them up or should I just fold them all together and not put them in the bags? Someone told gram that it's not good to put fabric in a bag that it needs to "breathe". So please tell me what you guys think... I am not sure what to do now. But I do know I need to put things in the drawers so I can have more floor space back! :-)
