Home again, Home again

I just returned from a week-long trip to my sister's house in Baltimore. I was scheduled to be there for 5 days, but weather in Baltimore delayed my departure. I went to help my sister make a wedding quilt for her daughter. It took quite a bit of sewing, but we were able to complete a queen-sized double wedding ring quilt.

We took a day trip to Lancaster County, PA. We let "Jason" the GPS guide our way. We were a little leery when he took us down this country road:

After a scenic drive, we ended up at Obie's Country Store. THAT was an experience I will never forget! I have never seen so much fabric in one place in my entire life!

I thought this was really cute. Snacks and fabric. Is there a better combination?

Another one leaves home.....

I just finished another t-shirt quilt for a customer. She picked it up today. I think she was happy with it. It was a gift for her daughter for high school graduation. Her daughter was with her when they picked it up. Here is a picture of it:

She requested an embroidered tribute:

Tommy and I spent the July 4th weekend in Laughlin, NV. We had a good time, although we didn't win any money :) Here are a couple of pictures of downtown Laughlin from the river boat ride we took:

I'm leaving this Friday to go to Baltimore, MD to stay with my sister for a few days and help her make a double wedding ring quilt for her daughter. It will be a fun, mini quilt retreat. We also plan on making a day trip to Lancaster, PA to do some fabric shopping.

The beginning

OK, so I decided to create a blog. I will mostly be blogging about quilting projects and my progress in training for the 60-mile 3-Day walk that I am participating in this November. I currently have raised $640 of my $3000 goal. If you are interested in contributing to help me reach my goal, just click on the 3-Day Logo on this page.

For this first post I will just include some pictures of recent projects. I just completed the embroidery on some t-shirts for some of my grandkids to wear on the 4th of July.

My daughter in law likes to have her kids match for the 4th. She tie-dyed the shirts and I embroidered the names on them.

Next is a picture of a t-shirt quilt that I mailed off last week to a customer in Virginia.

This is a Memorial Quilt I created and shipped at the end of May to a young lady in Virginia. It is made from the clothing of her deceased mother.

She also ordered 4 pillows made from the same clothing.
