Taxes and Sewing

I'm stuck working on this:

When I'd much prefer working on this:

I'll leave you with a picture that was taken over New Years when our family was together.

Here Mark and I are with our ten grandchildren.

...and with the whole gang!

Rhoda

It's birthday time again. This time we celebrated Paul's sister, Rhoda's 40th.

I found an elementary school picture of her and printed it on fabric and then quilted it.

She was pleased, to say the least.

We had lunch together at La Fiesta Bravo in Macon. The waiter brought a special dessert just for her.

New Pattern Coming

Posted by Barbara

 

Over Christmas I worked on a new pattern.  I need to quilt it and I think I will finish the edge with red binding.  Do I have any suggestions on a name for this quilt?  Ideas:  Dalmatian Trials

Christmas Splendor

--Julia posts--

May you have a blessed Christmas as you reflect on Christ's birth and his coming to earth to save mankind.

I made this quilt quite a few years back, drafting the pattern from a tiny picture in a magazine ad. I gave it to our youngest son, Craig and Ang as a wedding gift.

Fabric from India

Posted by Barbara
Terry (my husband), Mark (Polly's husband) and myself went to India on a missions trip.  I was so fascinated with the ladies saris.  The ladies  were so colorful and neat all wrapped up in 6 yards of fabric.

I bought three saris and plan to make a quilt.  Not sure yet how I will make it.  Any suggestions?

 

This is my "Pinwheel Spin" pattern.  Last week I finished up a new "Pinwheel Spin" and sent the quilt to CA to be published in my new book. Parla (my daughter) and I worked on this quilt together.
