Prairie Schooler - Dancing Daffodils

Prairie Schooler by Pamela Byrd Smith are my favorite designs. I absolutely fell in love with this one on first sight. I love daffodils - they are my favorite spring flower; and I have lots of them planted around the house. They are just what I need to see after a long cold winter. The only change to the design is the linen color. Used DMC to do the stitching.

Pillow - Piece O Cake

A long, long, long time ago when I was really into quilting I picked up a lot of designs by Piece O Cake - not even sure if they're still producing now. Well, this was one of my floating around, unfinished projects. I'd done all the machine applique, just needed to make it into an actual pillow.

Name Tags

I will also make name tags for us to wear while we're touring people through the house. This is Cheryl's that I've stitched. Mine is yet to be done. When I finish them I'll make them so that magnets will hold them to our clothes.

Lester Butts House 1935

I volunteer with the local historical society. Every fall we sponsor a house tour where people open their homes to the public. This year my friend Cheryl and I are assigned to the Lester Butts House. I designed this piece for us to give to the homeowners as a "thank you" for allowing us to show their home.

Moda Jelly Roll Quilt

This is the modified log cabin quilt I've been working on for my grandaughter. It is all ready to go to the quilter for quilting. I learned a long time ago it was well worth it to PAY someone to quilt these things and save my shoulders weeks of agony.
