Boy Quilt

Quick and simple Magic Nine Patch for a kids quilt to go to the YWCA daycare.  Airplanes and boy colors make an all American snuggle.

Enter: MINT

I love the smell of mint and the glorious color of green it is BUT.....I have never and I mean never been able to grow it.  I know, everyone tells me it grows like a weed and can take over a flower bed and mint is hard to kill and yet, I cannot get it grow.  Every year I plant mint.  I have planted in flower bed, pots and anywhere I could dig a hole and no mint.  My attempt this year is in a small Mexican decorated hanging pot I bought in Boerne, Tx during the Wine and Art hop.  So far, one week and it is not dead!

ENTER: MORE MATERIAL

I have a concept for the material bought at Creations in Kerrville, Texas.

 A modern painting I saw  will speak through this material (at least I hope so).  I can't really say much more than it is in the design stage.

Longhorn Mug Rug

My Modern Quilt Guild is having a mug rug swap with another MQG...since our logo has the longhorn I decided to use the longhorn in the mug rug.  I love how the fabric makes it look as if it is floating or hiding on the leaves.  Love how it turned out and in fact am making a few more for gifts for friends.  Being a Texas and a native of Fort Worth, this speaks to me.

Mug Rug

Mug Rugs are fun to make as they are quick, use up scraps and are useful.  I like those that you can not only put a mug on it but also a cookie or snack.  I made this one for a trade with another Modern Quilt Guild

Happy Birthday MOM

Today my Mom would have turned 100. So in honor or her birthday I'm doing her favorites..eating chocolate, Cheetos and cookies; knitting; and reading the morning Star Telegram. Mom loved reading the paper each morning and the day before she died when I talked with her she gave me the low down on all that was in the paper. Thank you Lord for a Mom who loved me unconditionally.

March BOM Fort Worth Modern Quilt Guild

A simple pattern so many times brings out the beauty of colors as the materials hold court.  This  pattern  would be a great scrappy block to use those small pieces we just can't throw away, but don't know what we will use them for.  The color squares are cut 1.5inches so they can indeed use small amounts. Fun, easy simple beauty ...it's a good thing.
