She has got to be one of my favorite fabric designers. I love the fun and whimsy in her fabric.
This will soon be a doll bed and doll quilt for Maddie for Christmas.

HOCKEY



We were given tickets to a hockey for last night. I have always liked hockey. There is something about this sport I can get into. I hate basketball. SHHH, don't tell anyone here in San Antonio. They are all crazy deranged basketball fans. I am guessing because it is their only major league sport. I don't know. But what I do know is that their shoes squeak, and that drives me just shy of insane. I hate squeaky shoes. Hockey has no squeaky shoes. But they do slam each other into the glass. Our seats were great. In prime slamming zone. We got to see all kinds of faces distorted against the glass.




Now Wyatt didn't care for all the noise. He sat like this the entire game.

The Worcester Sharks (whoever they are) Won. I can't say I care about who won or who lost. I went because it was fun. It was just good to watch the game. And a few good punches between the teams. (I like the fights too) Oh, and we did get a puck that went flying into the crowed.

Only in Texas would you find a restroom sign with cowboy hats, spurs and a bowlegged baby in a hat.

Now back to crafty stuff. I have a lot to get done.

sunday stash

It is time for Sunday stash once again.
I was asked by the wonderful and very amazing Katy of http://www.imagingermonkey.blogspot.com/ to do a nappy bag for one of her friends.We decided the best way to pay me for my work was in fabric. So this is what I got in the mail last week.

Amy Butler

And Heather Bailey.

I guess it is kinda like paying an elephant in peanuts. You pay Beth in fabric. And I am completely good with that.

A Giveaway

Again not mine. But it is a fun one.

Quilt Class


I had a very small quilting class at my house last night. Maddie and one other little girl came over to make a quilt top. They just sewed strips together to work on sewing strait. For first timers, they did great. Next week we will quilt it. Then I will bind it for them.


I put together a small box of supplies for each girl. Thread, scissors, a seam ripper and a few other small things. All in all it went great. But now Maddie is going to be bugging me to sew all the time.

sunday stash

I am new to the Sunday stash but here we go.


I am doing a small quilt class this week with 3 new sewers. Maddie and 2 other little girls are going to be doing a very simple strip quilt for their first project. I will try to get the finished project posted as soon as they are done. I have one very excited girl waiting to sew. She is telling everybody she talks to.
