Robert and Deana got married the 29th of Feb, on the beach in Myrtle Beach.It was a lovely wedding. We had a great time and the couple was just beautiful!!The weather held and the sun shone so that was a good thing. We could not be happier.

Here is a picture of a wall hanging I did for my sister after she and her husband invited my sister and I for a weekend at the beach. We really had a great time and I thought she would like the memento of our weekend. I used Cheaters cloth and added some quilting and photo's of our time together.

Here is the Feather stitch. I did use this in the seam treatment, It is hard to see because of the colors. I added some bead work and colonial knots for the grapes, Also detached chain for the leaves.

OK I am going to get off topic today, I guess it will be alright once in a while.Today is my Birthday, it is one of those days that you are glad you made it to, but you wish everyone would quit reminding you that you are OLD! I have been dreading this day for a while now. I think when you reach 30 there should be a law that you no longer celebrate birthday's. They regulate everything else why not

I have finally finished my first CQ block, I can see where I have done a few things wrong. I almost did not leave myself room to sew it to the quilt top for the Three Sisters Legacy quilt. I will put a border on it when I get the quilt top for the next round. Now to start the next block, maybe I wont get so carried away with the embellishment.I have just found out the next stitch for the TAST is

Here is the pin I finished the other day, I had almost forgot to post the picture.It is OK, I am sure the next one I do I would be able to do better.

Here is the full block with the silk ribbon and photo that I added. This is really the first time I have ever tried to do silk ribbon in anything....I think it looks great if I do say so myself. (kinda got carried away, maybe?)

Here is my Algerian eye, I still think it looks more like a circle than an eye. I don't care for it too much, but it will be OK after I get more stuff on the block

I did the Algerian eye stitch today for the TAST. I think mine looks more like a wheel than an eye. Did some ribbon embroidery also. I love the way it looks, think I got a little crazy with it. But I still like it anyway. Guess that is the way it is suppose to be a little crazy :0Will try to get some pictures up tomorrow. It is getting late and time for me to try to get a little sleep.

I am now behind again on the TAST instead of working on the next stitch, I made a ribbon rose pin and I finished my last block for the Three Sisters round robbin.Now I am thinking about round two. Still have not decided what to do. I have been surfing, and I still think I want ribbon embroidery. Just can't find a pattern that I would like to use.

This is what it looks like all together on the block. I am going to start the next stitch today or tomorrow. Then I need to get back to the Sisters round robbin.I have my last one to finish for this round. Now just to wait for them to send me the quilt tops to add it to. You can see all the photos from the TAST and the Sisters round robin at my flicker site. Just look to the right and find

Here I used the chevron stitch for a border. I don't know why, but I had a real hard time with this stitch. I bet I had to rip it out 3 times before I got it right.I think I have it now, not real crazy about how it looks but it will have to do.

I used the cretan stitch for the large leaves of the ribbon roses. I really liked how it turned out and I have never done the stitch before or the ribbon roses. I am having a great time :)

Here is the first pictures of my TASTI decided to use CQ blocks to do the stitches on, so that when we are done I would be able to use the blocks. I have never done CQ before and think this is a great way to start, and to learn some new stitches at the same time!!If you look close you will be able to see the Herringbone stitch used for the backdrop.I used the detached chain for the flowers and

I have been working on the TAST all day, trying to get caught up. I have finally gotten caught up!! I will post pictures on my flicker page tomorrow. It is a great chance to learn some new stitches. If you get the chance take a look at the favorite links bar at the right and check it out.!!

I have finished Kathe's quilt embellishment, now I just need to wait for Terry to send it to me. Now I am looking for a silk ribbon pattern, I think that is what I want to do next. Maybe something with crazy quilting on it. I just love crazy quilting and would like to try a small piece. Maybe a heart? Not sure but I will come up with something.I still have mine to get done for R1 and have not

Well I finished the embroidery last night. I decided to add some beading to the flowers, I think it turned out fairly nice! I just hand washed it this morning, Now to wait for it to dry and I will add some batting.I am not sure how I will attach it to Terry's fabric, I want to do some applique so I can go around the flowers and not just have it squared off. But my applique skills are very lacking

I have started the next item for the sisters, it is going to be a photo of all three of us with some embroidery at the top. I saw a pic of Kathe's tonight It is beautiful. Can't wait to see Terry's tomorrow.

A GREAT IDEA: A while back I decided it would be great to have a quilt that both my sisters contributed to, but wanted all of us to be able to have something when done.So I thought a Round Robin, A little different from your normal round robin in that we would not use blocks but use a whole cloth. With it being a whole cloth we needed to make it big enough that we would have space to work but not

I painted this on the door, wish I still had the door. This is the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, I got to climb this lighthouse in Sept. of this year. It was the second one that I climbed. A few years ago I climbed Tybee Island Lighthouse in GA. It is a great joy for me.

I am always working on too many projects and have soo many in mind that I never get to them all!!I started with the knitted bead bag, got half done and started a easy knit and purl cape. Then needed a little more so I decided that I would try to learn how to knit with dpn's. I found a pattern in the mag. "Knit It" it is a Christmas stocking, starting with the toe.I thought I would never figure

Loom work bead bag...(not finished as of yet) This is a project that I finished one side and did not like the way it looked after I took it from the loom. So I guess I will have to make it into something, just don't know what it will be.

Bead Loom work This was a test for the larger bead bag. I used part of the pattern to test to see if my loom I had made would work, and it worked like a charm.The amulet bag turned out fairly good too!
