Hi!!!! Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!! It is almost a New Year!!!!! Start it out with some fun!!!! This will be an adventure for sure!!!  I can use all the QUILTING SECRETS I can get!!!  Although quilters really don't mind sharing secrets, I just need to see and hear them all!!!!  Do you always know where you are going with the New Year?  It seems I am never really quite sure....I think I always wait to see what adventures will come!!!!  I don't do resolutions!!  But I always hope for the same thing...to be a better,kinder and more caring person!!!  As long as that has been my wish...I should be wonderful by now...hee hee   but I will go on trying year after year!!!! Hugs to all!!!!
 

A Heart That's Ever Light!!!!

Hello Everyone!!! Merry Christmas!!!

The whole world mourns

When these kind  of horrible things happen everyone is just so affected by it that we are all in a kind of shock and are mourning...I think it also makes us think even more about the blessings we have...I am sending prayers along with all of you...hugs

Ok!!! Not bad!!!! Right?!!!!

Hi!!!   Well here is a start!!!  Cute cat fabric!!!  No pattern!!!  Just me giving it a good old fashioned Carla Try!!!!  There is a boo boo on the back though!!!  I sewed the grey piece on with the back seams going the wrong way!!!  I haven't got the seam ripper out yet!!!  Not sure what it will be!  But I have more fabric so!!! It will be something bigger eventually!!!!   I just started cutting and sewing not knowing where I was going!!! Afterwards I realized if it had been planned I could have done less cutting and sewing had I used some strips here and there!!!!  I usually do learn the hard way!!!!!  Good news though my grand daughter picked it up and said aw kitty kats!!!!  So it will be loved!!!!
