Welcome to my blog!

Glad to see you here, Welcome to my blog. I love quilting, fabric, colors, etc. and am a mother to two boys 22 and 16, grandma to one beautiful little girl. I work as an RN in Labor and Delivery so I get to see little babies come into this world and help their moms and families through it. I love my job. Many of my co-workers are quilters too, so we like to chat about it while we can. I love comments, so please let me know what you think, or just say hi!

SOYO quilt retreat

A couple of weeks ago I got to spend the weekend with some good friends enjoying a SOYO - sew on your own quilt retreat.  It was put on by the Black Hills Quilters Guild and it was a lot of fun.

Here is a picture of Jessica and I, hard at work! : )


This is my friend Sandy, concentrating.  Sandy and Kathy organized the retreat and did a great job!


Here is Kathy with her cute little iron, smiling about something.....


This is a quilt I started in Des Moines at the AQS show while taking a class from one of my favorite designers, Kimberly Einmo, from her book, "Jelly Roll Quilts & More" check out her website  http://www.kimberlyeinmo.com/  and her blog http://quilting.kimberlyeinmo.com/.  We had a blast at her classes that week.
.  It is for my granddaughter, April.

Here are pictures of Sandy and Connie's quilts from the same pattern.

I love this picture of Kelley working on her borders.  What a neat quilt for her MIL.

This is I think the 3rd or 4th year we have done this and hope to keep doing it many more!

Happy quilting!
