Lunch with the Tootie Babies

Recently I finished the top of an old UFO. I cut out the backing and the binding and there was quite a bit of leftovers. So I put this little quilt together and machine quilted it. It's about 12" square. Those are prairie points in the border. Cute! I'll hang it on my little quilts wall. It's filling up fast.

Time for lunch...peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and grapes! When Mommy comes to pick us up she will give us some Dibs (ice cream)!

Now to start the piecing!

Emily tells Nana the water is just right!

We love to swim!

After our swim we play...Emily is a Sunflower with a Christmas garland of cranberries. Cute!

I hope you have a wonderful Fourth of July!

A Shining Star For You

This little quilt top is one of the patterns from Lori Smith's line: Fit To Frame. Since this picture was taken I have machine quilted the top and sewn the binding to the front. I'll take a completed picture when I finish the binding.

Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there!

Recently I hung a couple of things in the guest room. One of them was this quilt that I call Heart Garden. I hung it behind an old iron bed. I've had this bed for many years. The quilt was a kit from Houston St. Merchantile in Granbury, TX. It's machine quilted by my friend Ty. She did a beautiful job using feathers and a background filler. I know the picture is fuzzy but take a close look at the white metal piece hanging above the quilt. I think it came off an old porch.


I found this little hanging rack at an antique store in town. It's not old but it's so cute! I hung the Tootie Babies little outfits and Easter hats on it. The style of this room is Shabby Chic.

It's a hot, dry day in Texas today. I think we will reach 100 degrees this weekend. My sister and dad are driving up from Louisiana today for a visit. I've got a quilt project planned for my sister so stay tuned for some show and tell!
