Front and Back and then some....

I finished stabilizing Matt's shirts.  I laid out the  top and bottom of the quilt and of course, I am short a few. I have a lot of extra blank shirts soooo....I had a great idea!!  I asked his family to send me a message for Matt. I plan to embroider them on the blank shirts.  It will be a surprise for Matt for graduation.  I hope it turns out great and he loves it.

Just in time for graduation!

I finished another graduation quilt!!! It's for a good friend of mine's son. And good thing too. He graduates in two weeks! It's the best one that I've made so far!

The finished quilt is 96 inches wide x 130 inches long.  You may be wondering why it's so long. Nick is 6 foot 7 inches tall. So it should cover him nicely! Happy quilting y'all!

These are some of the best pictures that we took.  Our favorite city to visit was Florence, Italy by far.  We enjoyed walking and roa...

Let there be light!

My eyesight seems to be getting worse and worse. Quilting on the Handiquilter at night gave me headaches. I even borrowed my husband's headlamp. I went by Huntsville Sew and Vac and looked at all of the accessories for the Handiquilter. I saw this pack of LED lights that stick onto the frame. It made so much of a difference! I cut a section of the strip off and it made the rest a little brighter.
