Thank you Ronda for your comment on my biblical quilt. It is my favorite of all I have made. Are you snowed in girl, we sure are!!!!! Good to hear from you, it has been a while.

It's me again. The moth is done on my embroidery machine. It is supposed to be a northern lights picture. You can see the pine trees and the shooting stars in the sky. You have to look for it, but it is there. I love to add embroidery to purses, quilts, etc.

Hi, Ronda. We are iced in. We got more sleet than anything. My daughter and her hubby are stir crazy and taking his 4 wheel drive truck into town. They are much younger and have more energy. I will for sure give them a list to bring me though. I was hoping the sun would come out, but not yet. We'll see. I'm working on a 9 patch in a mixture of blues, green, yellows and oranges. At least it looks a little sunny!! Hope you are having a good day. Stay in and stay warm and enjoy sewing.

Hi, Ronda. Thanks for checking out my page. I have looked at your pictures and it appears that we like a lot of the same stuff :). In regards to the quilt I made with the "retro" fabric, I bought the fabric at JoAnns early last summer. I will find my scraps and check to see from what line it is from. I came up with the quilt design myself. One of those design as you go projects....Keep me posted on what you are working on. I think I will take my laptop with me to the hospital since they have wireless connection. It keeps me from going nuts when I can't sleep during the night.

Hey Ronda, I just got your message on my e-mail that you got the instructions on the taggies when I went in to answer I couldn't see it all. They system has some glitches right now. If you said anything else or asked me any questions I cannot get into it right now. Sorry I haven't responded before now, but it just came up in my in-box. Have fun making them!!

Hey Ronda, I just sent you my blog post from when I shared my taggies. I think it has all the info you are needing. If not give me a yell and I'll help.

Post pics so I can see, have fun!!!! Blessings, Linda

Hi Ronda, you are welcome, you deserve them. And you know me and Civil War Fabric, I just love them!!! I wish there was such a thing as quilting fairies!! I want to do so much more than what I do. I feel so far behind. I have 3 quilts to be quilted and one that is being worked on by one of my co-board members on Home Bound Meals. I make the quilt tops to donate and she quilts them, then she give them back to me to bind. She is working on one now. I have to sandwich the Christmas quilt and she will start on it. I do quilt most of my quilts. I did not however, quilt my Southern Stars quilt. I drove to Hartford, Kentucky to a quilt shop called QuiltsRJewels. Jewel the owner quilted it for me. I wanted my SS done professionally and I sure am glad I did. She only charged me $65.00. You can get on line at quiltsrjewels.com and see her work. You do your own quilting don't you? You can get it all done, I have faith in you. I love your SS blocks and can't wait to see it put together. It is going to be gorgeous. I have been called on a lot to baby sit lately and when Beth goes back to work in two weeks after her maternity leave, I will be keeping Samuel on Thursdays. I wish I was up to it every day but I am not and I don't want to be tied down. We have been busy with ball games too. Drew's team won 1st Place for 7 & 8 year olds for the State in the Dixie Youth Baseball finals. I was so proud of their team because they were the underdogs and beat an unbeaten team twice. Boy what fun we had. We had that going on last week plus a really good friend of my sons and his wife dropped dead after a run a week ago yesterday. It was some week. Things have been a little calmer this week. I started a baby quilt last night and have it ready to bind, Hopefully I can get that done tomorrow. I tied it off instead of quilting. It turned out cute. A girl at church is having a baby girl. Have a good Worship time tomorrow, God Bless You, Linda

Awesome Ronda, progress is a good thing. I am glad you got some things done. I want to see photos too :) I just started the moons - been out an about for a few hours and got my hair done then came home and took the dog for a walk. It's a little bit humid up here today although thus far it has been unseasonably cool for July so it has been beautiful indeed. I'll keep you posted with my progress... holds me accountable and all.
