Lissa's Quilt!!!!!

Thank you again to everyone who donated blocks, thread and monetary donations. Special thanks go to Millie for her extraordinary quilting of this oh so special quilt. And of course to Mel for making it all possible and her talents at piecing the quilt.
Mel went to see Lissa this weekend and presented her with the quilt. Not only is Lissa doing better but she was able to play cards with Mel, one of their favorite past times. Mel reports that Lissa is an amazing woman with strength, power and faith. She is always happy and looks at what she has and not what she could of lost. I would now like to show you some pictures of the quilt and of Lissa.

LOOK!!!!!

It turned out wonderful!! Can you see your blocks?



LOOK!!!

At the piecing by Mel and the quilting by Millie! It is so beautiful.







This is the back with all your well wishes.



I think these last two pictures tell it all.





God bless you all for everything you did to make this happen.

I love weekends…

Weekends to me are girl’s sports, laundry and sewing!!!

As you know…


I LOVE STARS!!!

Onward to 2011!!!!!

What I did on Friday.....

I did get a lot done yesterday. I made eight blocks for the Bee There or Bee Square Bee. I think this is my new favorite block. It is called the Plus Sign Block. It was super fun and super easy and looks great in projects!

I also finished six wonky stars for the Sew Wonky Bee. I was able to make three 6.5 inch blocks and three 3.5 inch blocks with the fabric I received. As you can tell from my last post I love to make wonky stars and this is what I am going to do for my Christmas Quilt, sometime in the near future.

Have a happy sewing weekend!
