Block of the Month Quilt

I won these blocks in March 2009 at the Riverside California, Raincross Quilt Guild and I finally made them into a little wall quilt. I added buttons to make it more whimsical and made a "peek-a-boo" binding for the first time. It looks more narrow at the bottom but it's just my photography. It doesn't look very good on the orange wall but I don't have a better place for it right now.

Spring Time in the Rockies

These two pictures were taken last Thursday. We got almost 10 inches of snow in two days!

 The two pictures below were taken on Sunday (3 days later). Look how green the grass is and some little flowers are coming up in the rock garden!!

Visiting the Smith Girls

 I flew to Fresno to visit Candace and the girls for 4 days. Charlie had eye surgery to correct her eye muscles just 2 days before I arrived. The girls play together so well and love just hanging out together. Charlie's eyes were still pretty red and swollen in this picture but they looked much better by the time I left. She was so brave about getting eye drops 3 times a day -- bless her heart.

 Here is Laney doing what she loves best...being goofy and wearing a wastebasket for a hat!

 Here is Charlie doing what she loves best...coloring and creating beautiful art work.

 Charlie and I made a little doll quilt together. She designed the quilt, cut the batting and backing, I did the sewing and tied the yarn to hold it together. She was very interested and captivated by the project and loves her little quilt.

 Here are the girls riding bikes in the house---what a fun house this is!!

Laney was a maniac riding on her school bus!!  Look out world...here she comes!
