Boarder make a difference

Teri made these beautiful quilts in an attempt to use up some of her excess material.  One of the things she used these to point out to the rest of us is how just the boarder can make a different to the overall look of the quilt. The base quilt is exactly the seam, the only difference is the boarders.

American Quilts

With the great success of the Texas Quilt, Teri added these to the quilts she is selling.

Blind Tie Demo

I love it when my mom comes to visit. On this particular trip she agreed to teach the quilting group how to do the blind tie she does on all the quilts that she makes for the grandkids. Dave is helping her get everything set up.

The following week the ladies asked Mom to teach them how to crochet around baby bibs. We couldn't get the hemstitch done, so instead she showed them how to crochet a kitchen hand towel. They loved the project and almost everyone completed one. I didn't get to be there becasue of work, so Mom made sure to take pictures for me to post.

Nifty fabric/quilted containers

When Teri and I went to the International Quilt Show Market, I found this great pattern to make handy decorative baskets from 2 square pieces of material. They make up fast and are soooo cool and useful. I have shared it with several ladies...here are a few that they have done.

The last picture is of me and my sister.
