Bonnie's Trunk Show

Here are some pictures from Bonnie Hunters Trunk Show.  There were so many people there it was hard to get good pictures.  Most of the quilts were king size.

 This first quilt explained what size to cut your strips into.

I Met Bonnie Hunter!!!

I was very excited to meet Bonnie.  I follow her blog daily.  I watch her on QuiltCam and she is everything expected.  If you have never been to her website check it out.  There is a link on the right side of my main page.  Her website is called Quiltville.  She is a fantastic quilter and likes to use up scraps and shares most of her patterns.

 The quilt behind us is the Pineapple Blossom using 1.5" strips instead of 2.5" strips like Mom and I used.

This was just a quarter of the class.  Can you find me and my mom?  We weren't able to sit at the same table but we were close.  The ladies we met were so nice.

I was so happy when one of the ladies asked Bonnie to show us how to De-Bone a shirt and she did.  This is her De-boning a shirt for us.  Here is the link of her doing it on her website.  She says gets a lot of fabric from a mans XL or XXL shirt. It seems like a lot of work but she did it quite quickly.  I may have to try it if I see a shirt I like.

Mom and I even had the chance to go to dinner with Bonnie and a few of the other ladies.  What a great time.

BAGS, BINS & BOOK COVERS

I guess it's about time I post all the things I was making for Christmas and couldn't show.

This is my daughter's new baby "Draco"

I have lost count of how many of these bags I have made.  I'll guess about 30. I just love them!!

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2013

I asked my mom if she would wear a sweatshirt that just said HO.  She said it would be ok as long as we stayed together.  Then it was Ho Ho Ho !!!

We had gloves and scarves but we didn't need them.

My daughter and my mom.  It just doesn't get any better than that!

New Project

I'm starting a new project

I have seen pictures of them making these on the internet and thought they were fun.

Ready for Fall

I wanted something to hang in the place of the flag i made for Labor Day and I wanted something I could use both for Halloween and Fall.  Of course I couldn't just make one.  I had to make one for my daughter also.  

Eventually I hope to have a hanging for every holiday

I found this free patten on line.  It's called Spookey Hallows and the link is here.  It was fun to put together and quilt.  I quilted the background with the pattern I learned in Paducah from Edita Sitar.

Just an after thought 

Little did I know when I was making this that I would soon have a cat just like this one.  She was a stray from work that would meet me every day at my car for lunch.  I finally realized he was a she and was pregnant.  When she missed lunch one day I started looking for her and found her and four new born babies.  Well I couldn't just leave them there she was so tired she let me pick her up and they came home with me that afternoon.  They lived in the tub of my spare bathroom until the kittens were weened.  The kittens have all been adopted & mom had been fixed and she is very happy to live here with Cubs and I.  Her name is Trouble.  She loves to pick on Cubs.  She weighs 7 pounds and Cubs weighs 19.5 pounds.

Feathers!!!!!

 I'm getting the hang of it.  

I have been working on feathers for quite a while.  I think I got it!!

These were made from an American Basics  charm pack and the Tumbler template from Missouri Star Quilt. You can fine  the pattern and tutorial for Tumbler Flag Quilt here.

I actually made two of these the first one I will keep and my daughter called dibs on the other. Ill post pictures when I get them bound.

Here are the finished wall hangings.

This is mine

This is my daughter's
