Here I am (with Rosey coming in the shot) with the two bags and hat I made for when we go to Disneyland the end of March. I found some fabric for 2.50 a yard and couldn't resist buying enough to make some stuff to take.
This bag is in Bonnie K. Hunter's first book (Lucy's Shopping Bag) except that I made the handle a bit differently.
This is the same bag, this time I made the handle the way Lucy explained, but I made it twice as long so it could really be over the shoulder.
This hat is Amy Butler's pattern. I think I will buy a black grossgrain ribbon to tie around it and it will be all set! We have the kids' flight paid for and the hotel and tickets bought so come Hell or high water, we are going to Disneyland for the very first time! None of us have ever been there and we will have five night and four plus days to experience it all! 



This first picture is BJ holding her first completed mystery block! Love those colors. The second one is June working hard on her block. I love her border fabric so when hers is all done it will be smashing too! And these four pink and blue blocks are mine. I managed to get two done at class (and all but the flying geese units done) and came home and did two more. Now it will have to wait until I have some more time! This quilt will be for Kathy's niece Ayla. She wants a pink quilt with teddy bears, so the backing will be teddy bears and I plan to put plenty of pink in the border too.
I will use the red as sashing with green polka dot cornerstones and then a good six inch border of the multi all around. I am quite excited to get to this one soon!
This flamingo picture was painted by my brother's girlfriend Tiffany for my dad's girlfriend Margie. My sister came up with the idea to commision her to do it as a comfort to Margie who is now living without my dad...so we will get this mailed off to her. She loves all things flamingo so it will be a hit! I personally love the leaves Tiffany painted!
Bonnie K. Hunter's new book "Adventures in Leaders and Enders" arrived a few days ago and it has been hard to decide which quilt in it is my favorite. This one called Sister's Nine Patch might be my favorite. Bonnie autographed the book for me but it was hard to show that in a picture! If you haven't bought this one and love Bonnie or scrappy quilts go to her website quiltville.com and order it...she will autograph it for you too!
