Isn’t she hilarious?
The girls and I belong to a quilt group where we learn from each other, help make each others quilts and most of all have”Show and Tell”. Last fall, one of the ladies brought what I thought was the most hilarious quilt I had ever seen. It was the “Quilt Diva”. Immediately I thought I need to make that quilt for my mother for Christmas. It is so her. The colors just every thing about it. I went on line and searched the name and found that Amy Bradley‘s had designed it. I had already made one of her quilts and happy to find this one. I bought the pattern and then re sized it to 80% because it was too big for any place in my mom’s house.
It was fun to go through my stash and to purchase these great colors to make this wall hanging.
My mother lives in another state and decided to come visit for Christmas so I was able to see her
open my gift. She loved it.
She had my brother hang it in her living room on the coat closet door so everyone can see it.
Show and Tell Saturday #7
Love of Fabric
My mother loves fabric. She belongs to one of
collections of the month. She says that she should quit, but that she is to nosy to stop.
She loves what comes every month and anxiously waits to
see what is in the package.
When I saw this pattern, it had her name all over it.
I knew I had to make it for her.
The love of this monthly collection helps the girls and I, too. Mom is always saying take
some fabric home with you. The unfortunate thing for our husbands is that this
“Love Of Fabric”
is highly contagious and we have all caught it.

Show and Tell Saturday #4
For years I watched my mother make things to give as gifts for Christmas, Birthdays, Mother’s Day, and any other holiday you give gifts. It is no surprise I like to do the same thing. After my nephew was born I decided that my mom needed a decoration about grandkids. It was her first grandchild and I knew he was going to be spoiled, as I knew all grandchildren would be at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. I set off to find the perfect gift. I knew I wanted it to say, “Grandkids Spoiled Here” but beyond that I really was not sure. I had just caught the sewing bug and was (1) too cheap to go buy a pattern (not that I could find one I liked) and (2) too picky about what I wanted that I decided to design my own project.
This was my first true attempt and making a pattern. I really had no idea what I was doing. I knew enough to make sure that it would fit together properly, and I had a computer and printer to use to get shapes and letters. I jumped right in and built what I could, then I found some great buttons to add to what I had created.
It was definitely not perfect, but I learned about the design process and well, my mom loved it! That was enough for me.

Road to Bethlehem
We would like to re-introduce our
advent calendar pattern. It is fun for kids and adults alike to add the characters of the Christmas story everyday as well as moving Mary and Joseph toward the stable.
