The memory quilt is hanging in my parents house.

I thought you would like to see that the memory quilt I made for my parents hanging up. I blogged about it here. The quilt was a Christmas present to my parents and it makes me feel so great that they would hang it in their house.

I'm really missing my sewing machine!

Last week my daughter looked at me and said, "Mom, you always, always, always, always have to make a quilt." I smiled and told her that she was right, I am always making a quilt. So, making a last minute decision we came down here to Indio, California. Not bad huh? The resort is beautiful. At first I was going to bring my sewing machine, but my husband said "no way, you are going to relax."
So, here I am relaxing with the kids, trying to not think about my next quilt design and missing my sewing machine. It's not too hard. I love the time we have had with the kids. Well, gotta go and play some more with the kids. I will announce the bag and kit winner on Saturday.

Giveaway! I love my quilted bags, do you want one?

So, to show you how versatile my "Quilted Bag" pattern is, I have put together these five bags. I am going to be giving away one of them.

I really love this red, black and check. The picture does not do it justice. It is so cute.

Who doesn't like black and white? I told you I had a quilted bag for every pair of shoes.

Brown and pink floral. The fabric is of course Moda from the Posh by Chez Moi line. I will be giving this one away because it is my personal favorite.

My pink and white bag is a fun one too and it is my daughters favorite.
I have been holding and hoarding these bags, I love them and I want to keep them all to myself. But to save me from my greedy self I am going to part with one.

A few things....

I just finished machine quilting this quilt for a lady late last night. I did the border a little different because I wanted it to look like a frame around the quilt. I hope I got that effect.

The stippling just makes the hearts pop. I love it.

I am working on this cute fabric, looks like a bag maybe? It could have something to do with a giveaway. I know, I am really hyping my next giveaway up.

This is my sewing view. The cutest little boy to look at while I work on a project.
