Baby E Newborn Quilt

Baby Quilt Newborn
Son and Wife picked out fabrics early before he was born. I didn't decide on pattern until day he was born, then made the next day. The site of him brought the inspiration. The fabric followed through into his room in valances. The strong stripe and whimsical circles are true to his personality with the versatility of the paisley is the final boom. The back is oh so cuddly minkie for his every soft baby skin.

Sunrise in Florida

Sunrise on the Florida Coast

February 2013 trip to Florida with my husbands parents. We were staying in Orlando as we usually do each year, as they have and enjoy their timeshares. I love the beach so very much, so this year I rented a car and drove to the beach in time to see the sun rise at 6:53 am. It was serene and I spent several hours with God and His beautiful creation. There were a few people down from me fishing and the sounds of the ocean and birds were true songs from God. I got such a rejuvenation from this experience. I need more beach time in my life.

Galveston Beach

Galveston Beach

Great week get away on the beach in Galveston with my bestest friend every in August 2012. Our rental was a block from the beach. Renting the Golf cart was the best thing we did for ourselves. We were able to travel to parts of the beach where there were people and to parts where there was no one but us. We could drive and explore or stop and park if we wanted. We had 15 miles of beach to explore and we did. Right up until we decided to have us a VACA cleanse...(bad mayonnaise for those of you who don't understand)

I painted this for my husband on our first wedding anniversary. We stayed at a resort in Jamaica and this a photo we saw in several places around the resort.

Bright and Beautiful Sister Quilt

Bright and Beautiful Sister Quilt

I made this for my favorite (I have 5) sister for Christmas 2010. It was my inspiration for getting back into the world of quilting. I hadn't quilted since my children were very small and they are all grown up now... Anyway the I saw the fabrics and they reminded me of Pam then I saw the pattern and knew they had to be put together for her. I added a black furry throw blanket on the back for that oh, so soft cuddle. I hope she loves it as much as I loved making it for her and as much as I love Her!! Because I was new back to the quilting world... I forgot to put a label on it and she wont part with it long enough for me to add one.
