Wow, can't believe May is all but over.  The apple tree will soon have fruit on it.  Just wish the summer would slow to a crawl.  My goal for the summer is to sew and spend time with friends as much as possible.  Trying to get my progressive quilt done and to the quilter before the fair.  I have never entered anything in the fair, but I think this year I will. 
Happy sewing...

Hazen's anniversary

I forgot this picture. It was really tardy for their anniversary but better late than never. The whole group worked on this one. I love it and hope Hazen does too.











OK, so I want to use this site to save pictures of my quilts.....here goes, not sure why the pictures loaded before my text.  Oh well.
The 1st quilt is tiny, a doll quilt just for fun.

The 2nd quilt was a mystery led by my friend Marge.  It was loads of fun!

The 3rd quilt is another mystery led by another friend Candace.  It was lots of work...we seemed to make segments for ever.  It is one of my favorites!

The 4th one is Dizzy Geese.  I started this at a retreat, the teacher was terrible! Thank goodness the other girls in the class were great quilters.  Funny who you learn things from.

The 5th quilt is Todd's aka Mr Wonderful!  He loves the outdoors and is a mighty hunter.  This quilt has two layers of batting and I don't love it but when it's cold outside it is the first to get drug out.

The next one is a hunters star done on a weekend with the girls.

The 6th one is one of my first quilts.  Done for Sara.

The 7th also is Sara's.  She loves Asian things so this was my attempt at that.

The 8th was a block exchange......my groups last one.  I will be giving this to the next baby that comes along.

Black is Drew's favorite color (or it was when he was younger)  It is not bound yet. This one also has two layers of batting.  Drew wanted it to be random, it's my idea of random...not Drew's!  I learned I don't love solid black.

The next one is mine....happy, happy me!  It's not bound yet either.  I love it.  My new favorite thing is pieced with applique.

The last one is another baby quilt to have ready.  I like to do that so I will not have to feel rushed but have something for a gift.

Maybe next time I post pictures I will figure out how to put the text with each picture.......grrrr.

Happy quilting,
Deanna

Saturday morning sunshine!
What a beautiful morning.  Hope to get some quilting done today....not sure how it will go.  Would love to start this for leaders and enders.  This is a picture from a quilt show I got to attend last summer.  If I remember right they were about 4" blocks.  My Civil War fabric is calling me.........
Enjoy the day, Deanna
