It's been a busy last month and a half. Have gotten a pretty good amount of quilting in and loving it!!
Made Krissy some placemats from a jelly roll she picked out when we went to Missouri Star Quilt Company. I was so excited she went with!! She only went to keep me company and it was most enjoyable to share my passion with my daughter. The placemats are a simple quilt as you go and are so durable. She has requested placemats for every holiday! That will take a while to complete as I am easily distracted by other projects.
Skyelar it getting bigger and bigger and absolutely LOVES the snow. She would stay out and play for hours in the cold and snow. I am feeling for her when summer it here, with all her hair I am pretty sure she will hate it!
I work part time at a quilt shop in Aurora, CO called The Threadloft and am teaching a bargello class the end of this month. We will be completing a table runner with the option of going to the lap throw size. Looking forward to it, will be my first "teaching" project! I love working at the shop and definitely spend more than I make! The owner is an amazing long arm quilter and I have and continue to learn and improve my long arm skills from her. I have even quilted a couple of customer quilts which is so exciting for me. I am so grateful for her patience and experience!
One thing I love about living in Castle Rock is the variety of wildlife found here. We have the deer, I have seen antelope, coyotes, we have but I have not seen, mountain lions and bears also. The last two are a bit scary to think about but we have moved into their homes and have to share the land with them. We are pretty careful with our puppies at night!! Recently a couple of blocks away from us a family had their dog taken by a lion from their yard and one of Keely's friends dog has been attacked twice by coyotes!!
Keely got her new bike for Easter and found a warm day to ride. The star top is finished and on her bed. Her favorite part of the quilt is her name I quilted in one of the white blocks, she loved it. The quilt was made with a layer cake of Kaffe Fassett and a white layer cake. The pink border is Tula Pink and the outer border is Kaffe Fassett also. It is stippled with a few flowers thrown in.
Until next time......................................
