zeldahasaBIRTHDAY

Sew day at the farm. How many people does it take to figure out a simple child's cart cover pattern?Apparently more than are here at the farm today
Use pattern pieces 8,9 and 10
But wait, what about 11? And how do we get the leg hole to work and look like something you want to take out in public?
Baby Tyler may have a cart seat cover by the time he arrives in March

or maybe not..... Happy Birthday to Zelda, pizza is on the way
Katie Kate decided to mole hunt in the upper 10. Could she just catch the mole and leave it up in the field? Oh no, she had to bring him back to the house. Good job Katie Kate!

Happy Birthday to Katie Kate who turned 4 today!

vacation2010

Topsail Island 2010.
As usual the gang headed to Topsail for an October vacation. This year we stayed 1 1/2 miles north of the traffic light in a nice quiet neighborhood.
As you can see the pets came along for the trip.
No, this is not just an ordinary cooler on the deck, it is our deluxe foot bath! No hose on the deck or walkway so we had to come up with something.

newFABRIC!

Woo-Hoo! The new Dr. Suess fabric is here. Don't know what I will make with the patterns just yet.
I will have to hang it on the design wall and look at it for a few days! I am sure something will come to mind...

marketBAGS

The new Market Bags are in at Fancy Stitches Custom Embroidery so everybody in the family had to have one. They fold flat for easy storage and the handles are removable so you can throw the bag in the wash.
( If you are interested in ordering leave me a comment on the blog and I will send you product information and order form. The large Market Bag is 30.95 with up to 12 letters custom embroidered on your bag.)

Great for my TI trip next month!

Lucy finished her latest quilt titled Red, Black and White. The pattern was a challenge but she figured it out and the quilt is lovely.

DELIVERED

The Cross and Crown quilt is in Baton Rouge safe and sound.

Shela received her quilt Friday via UPS in one piece, thank goodness. As you can see it is already on her bed and she is thrilled with it.
3 1/2 months of work but it was well worth it.

quiltUPDATE

The Cross and Crown quilt is back from the longarm shop.
As you can see the Elegant Feathers pattern is lovely and really brings our quilt to life.
The embroidery from Cindy is perfect in color and design for our borders. Shela is thrilled.
This is Jody, our longarm princess from A Needle Runs Through It longarm shop in Maidens, Va. We trust Jody to do all of our longarm work and help with our quilting patterns decisions. Somehow she always knows just what to use to make our quilts beautiful!
Jody suggested a silk batting for the quilt since my Cousin lives down south in the heat and humidity of Louisiana. Silk will breathe and is lighter weight wise than cotton batting. I love the feel and loft of the silk and would highly recommend it.
Yes, I know you all want a picture showing the entire quilt. I have to wait for the army to show up to help hold it up, it is huge!
