I received the pincushion from my swap partner for the

QuiltCon pincushion swap.  It is a darling bird : )

This cutie was made by Christine, from the Cincinnati MQG.
Here is her post about making her pincushion.

It was such a lovely day, I decided to bring her outside for some fresh air!

show off friday~~~roommate gifts

Show Off Friday

I had two wonderful roommates at QuiltCon and I made them a little gift

to commemorate the long week-end : )

I have been on a pincushion craze so I made them a little pincushion

that they could take to their workshops.

I embroidered a simple Oklahoma outline and filled them with 

crushed walnut shells.

They measure 2.5" X 4"....the perfect size to keep in a take-along sewing kit.

quiltcon~~~5 things about me

I am so excited about going to QuiltCon next week!

The Modern Quilt Guild is hosting a Link party to give everyone going to QuiltCon a

chance to introduce themselves.  They have ask for a picture, and then we are to 

post five things about us..... so here goes : )

Here's a picture of me on my way out the door to have dinner celebrating

the 32nd Anniversary of the first date with my dear husband.(Feb 13th)

Five things about me:

1.  I have two dogs and one cat....two children and one husband.

2.  I live in a house that was built in 1905.

3.  I didn't enjoy hand quilting until I discovered big stitches with perle cotton.

4.  I am going to take a Master Gardeners class next year because I love

nature and gardening.

5.  My grandmother taught me to sew when I was a child.  I mainly sewed

clothing until I discovered quilting in 1995 when I joined a neighborhood group.

That's five things.....

Are you going to QuiltCon?  If you are, join the Link Party here.

Leave me a comment if you are going, I would love to meet you!
