We've Been Quilting

Hey Everybody!

I know it seems like I disappeared off the face of the planet, but the truth is, we haven't had a computer for a few weeks. My laptop finally died (motherboard and hard drive went kaput) as did our desktop. We're finally up and running with a new desktop.

I had pictures that I lost all ready to post but will have to do that another time. I've been spending most of my time quilting and am currently working on a queen-sized quilt for our bed. However, I thought I'd post Jim's "Three-Wave Set." The whole thing is completely hand done from the cutting, piecing and quilting. He got hooked on quilting around my b-day, when a friend gifted me with the amazing book, Accidental Landscapes by Karen Eckmeier. Jim is really getting good! He has three beach scenes (one of which I quilted) on sale at Beach City Smoothies in Carlsbad and there are two mountain/forest scenes for sale at Yoga Vista (right next to a knitting shop--the name just escapes me at the moment, but it's the one we couldn't find, Paula).

Anyway, I'll post more finished projects. The dial-up is still slow, and that problem with pictures not showing up when I access the blog still plagues me. I know it has to do with our very slow connection (but night/day it always seems to be slow).

Operation Caregiver


Hey everyone,


I saw this and thought it would be nice to make a few of these hats for our troops. I hope you will too.
