Here's my first attempt at doing some quilting patterns. They are pretty bad. I need ALOTTTTT more practice.

My kids at school told me I was a Grandma and needed a husband!

So my kids at school already call me grandma because I told them I was quilting over spring break. Well they laughed when I brought my coupon binder to school ( It was a make up day and I only had bout 3 or 4 kids each period out of about 30 ) and cut out coupons out of the All you magazine that came out Friday. They were shocked-several of them took a picture of it and MMS'd it to their mom's. Some said "Cool- you and my mom would be best friends- she loves coupons", another told me she was going to give me coupons as an end of the year present ( I got really excited) and one of my girls in 3rd period told me it was "sad"- which is a little funny since her mom is a teacher and co-worker of mine and ALOT of teachers are very conscious about money. They told me I needed to find me a husband because I obviously had too much time on my hands!

My first attempt at Stippling!!!





This is my first attempt at quilting my tops with a stippling pattern. It's okay. I still have a lot of practice to go- but it's a good first attempt.

SuperNova Quilt Along Part 1










I'm a little behind, but I finally got my strips cut out and am trying to group them. I don't think this is the final arrangement. Some of them look a little weird. Any suggestions?

Bad Doggie!


This is what happens when a brand new ball of thread falls on the floor and my sister Laura's dog Juniper gets a hold of it!

Cat Hair Anyone?


Anyone want a little cat hair in their quilt?
