BUSY......

 This happens to be my pride and joy.  My Log Cabin Quilt. Lots of hours put in this.  Actually this is my first "Scrappy" Quilt.  I hope the detail shows up on this picture.



Mr. Nickel Bill News and my step-daughter's boyfriend.  He just got back from Marine Boot Camp and showed up at the ballpark.  My step=daughter plays softball and we were at the State Ball Tournament.   He sure looks handsome :)  Mr. Nickel Bill News, that is!

Prom 2011

OK, my daughter is a sophmore but her boyfriend in a senior.  Prom was this past Saturday evening.  Rain, bad weather, etc. but they still seemed to have a wonderful time -- so they say :)
Dinner, lots and lots of pictures at our house, his house, at the state capital grounds and probably everywhere in between - will have to post some.  They are beautiful!

Also I was able to get some quilting done this weekend.  My "friendship" quilt now has a border.  This border has been a struggle for me.  I didn't want to break out any NEW fabric.  I wanted to use the leftovers from making the stars.  All of the fabric that went into making this quilt was free.  I had won it in a little quilting contest.  There didn't seem to be that much left over for the border - or the backing - for that matter! But I made due.  I LOVE the quilt top....the backing???? not so much :)

I will also put a picture of the quilt this evening.  I started quilting it yesterday.  I couldn't decide how to quilt it, so I went with my old faithful, feathering.  I love feathers.

pictures shortly.
