October 24, 2024 - I got waitlisted for the show in Wichita. I waited too long to apply. So I will be in Newton this Saturday at Hunter's Landing, 200 W 11th St. Come see me and these awesome quilts in person. You know you want a Halloween Gnome to cuddle with next week!
October 20, 2024 - Got another one done for Kay. I think this one is going to a granddaughter. Such a great hug from Grandma! I also had Larry make me a new display rack to take to shows. These fold down flatter and are more easy to carry. I had to set up a mock display to apply to a vendor show happening 11/8-10/24 over in Wichita. Hope it is worth the entry fee. Weather is getting colder so I hope people are more interested in a warm quilt.
October 13, 2024 - I finished one for Kay. I messed up with the binding and had to unstitch it, all of it, and redo it.. She did a great job on it. I also did a vinyl sticker thing for my daughter. Can't share a picture of it because it is a gift for her boss.
October 5 2024 - Wow, it is October already! I haven't been sewing so much lately. I've had this weird allergic reaction on my hands. Turns out I'm allergic to lanolin, a common ingredient in lotion. It's horribly painful with large cracks on my finger tips - think of extra large paper cuts.
September took me to LA to help my mom drive home from her mission at the Family Search center. Saw Santa Monica pier and took a whale watching tour; no whales but a lot of dolphins. Of course I took the Kansas heat with me. It was the only week mom had to use her AC! We took a week to drive home. Saw the Pacific Coast Highway from LA to San Francisco, most of it anyway. There was a closure that made us backtrack a bit and miss some views. Saw the beach with the sea lions. Yosemite is beautiful! Stopped in Lehi UT for the Garden of Quilts at Thanksgiving pointe. Saw the intersection where my parents used to live and the mill where Footloose was filmed.
July 3, 2024 - So my children said I should do something with the hawk tuey craze that is going around. I think I nailed it.
June 23, 2024 - It was a VERY hot day at the El Dorado Farmers and art market. My very first vendor booth. Didn't sell anything but got my name out there! Hopefully all those who visited will call me to make a quilt for them. Or something for them. My husband, daughter, and granddaughter were there with me.
May 4, 2024 - Yeah! Another client! Starting small and slow but it is started.
April 19, 2024 - so excited; I have a client for quilting services! I know I haven't posted anything lately. Life gets in the way. I think things have calmed down for now. I have 2 quilt tops ready to quilt and finish, one is Larry's. And now I have 2 table runners for a client!
Feb 3 2024 - I am still trying to figure out this webpage set up. I'll get it, eventually. I was really hoping that FB Marketplace would have taken off.
We got out of the weather freezer and I was able to get some pictures taken and more quilting done.
I am still so confused about how to navigate FB business page.
I tried making some changes but somehow I don't have permission??? Oh good grief.
