Farm Time


This is the last one for this week. This quilt was started 2 years ago at least with Barbara Harrison teaching the class. Applique is something that I just never got into and am not very comfortable with. I finished the blocks after surgery when locked in the hotel room waiting to come home. Got them put together and my quilting angel Sylvia Gauthier quilted for me. I got it bound today and a sleeve to hang on the wall.
It is a great project and I just might try something like this again!!!

Done UFO's for this week!!!


Got this one done also. This was a class with Sherry Fink two years ago.
I think it's called the disappearing nine patch but not quite sure. Anyway, it was easy to do as I made all nine patches then cut them to create the quilt top. Had the top finished long time ago but as with the bear paw had to quilt it and bind it for it to be done!!!

Here is the bear paw quilt finally finished!!! I took this class with Barbara Harrison in April one or two years ago. Now Bryan has his
quilt finally. It's done in flannels so it's oh so soft and the flannel has
wildlife pictures on it. He will be so surprised!!!

This is me after surgery and I have lost over 100 pounds. I have lost 70 pounds since surgery and have gone off all medications except one and the cpap machine for breathing at night. That last medication is down by half as of last Doctors appointment.



This is my project from Quilt Wyoming and me summer of 2006.

I did get this poject finished for Sarah my daughtor by her birthday in January of 2007!!! That is the top picture that Sarah took for me because she would not give the quilt back for me to show and tell.
