China Trip

Last year Dave and I took a trip to visit my sister who lives in China. This is the book I put together about that incredible experience. I use heritage makers to put it together.

Graduation Quilt Tradition

As each child graduates from High School, my Mom makes them a quilt. Here is Sarah with her quilt. It is a large gingham square with cross stitch to make the design.

This is a pictre of my mom with the quilt hanging up so you can see the work better.

This quilt was tied by the young women of our Ward. Amy desined it, I sewed it and the gilrs tied it for her. They do a quilt each year for the girls graduating.

Heritage Makers

I enjoy creating books with Heritage Makers. I have completed a family year book for 2005 and one about by childhood. If you would like to see them here's a link:

Roosters

This Rooster quilt is all hand appliqued! Teri did it just to learn and master the blanket stitch. She ended up giving it to a friend of her sisters. If you click on the picture, I think you can see all the stitched that were put into creating each rooster.

Burnt Edge Roses

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy working at Hobby Lobby? I love meeting the people and hearing about new ideas. Every day I work someone comes in to buy some poly-satin material to make flowers for their girls hair. I finally learned how they are done and have gone wild making them. Here are pictures of some I have done. If you are interested, I can make a demo of how to do them...and internet class :)
