Art~n~Quilt

I had a great time doing these two blocks...ohhhhhhh and looking forward to the rest of the RR blocks to come!! This first one belongs to Margaret in Austrailia...and is on it's way to KTJ.... I made a vine heart with silk ribbon flowers and leaves...and beads in the center of the flowers.

Well I am back from a week with my daughter and grandkids!! Delaware around where she lives is a beautiful little state. Lots of special little shops and beaches all around you. We had alot of fun shopping and I got to spend a wonderful week watching and playing with the kids. My granddaughter started preschool the day I left. She loved it so much! I did find a small sewing shop and bought some threads and an embroidery lap stand and the rollers....very good price for it. Especially since the land of Delaware does not have any added taxes....for me that's a major bonus!!! Our taxes I think are at 13% so anything I can buy while visiting her is a great savings.

I also finished up stitching while I was there the cq romance block I need to send off today. I will post pictures later of the block.

I also took the very first reborn doll I made and Kenzie fell in love with it..and geeeeee could Grammy say no, of course not....lol...so that little baby found a new home! Now that I am back I have a few more dolls to finish up my web page is in the works..need to finish up that this week hopefully and get it going. I am enjoying the crazy quilting that I have gotten back into.....I think I am going to incorporate that onto some of the babies outfits as well as some machine embroidery. I think I need to talk to Judyth and see if I can get some nice material to make some pretty christening type outfits for the babies I'm making....hard to find silks n satins here without paying a fortune...

anyway it's good to be home...but I miss my daughter and grandkids "pout"
but I will be making another trip in the summer....but not driving...11 hours is just to long for one person...it's totally exhausting, so I will get my passport and will fly from now on....

The next step is the body....bought some lovely fairy material!! light and airy...along with wonderful wings to fly her around. I will be going to see my daughter and grandchildren for a few weeks. Although I won't have this wonderful baby ready for this trip I am still looking forward to seeing them all. It will be a nice break.
