For my twin




This one was for my twin sister and best friend.  It has Grandma Dahle's old fabric on the back.  I also did a few little fun iron pieces on the front!

Sisters are the BEST!


Posted by PicasaThis was a very special gift from my sister Brenda. It was hand stitched with some machine sewing also. I love it. The backing is fabric from our grandma Dahle who we all adored and was an amazing quilter herself. When I wrapped my self up in it I could not help but to feel her love.
Sisters are the best! Thank you! Love you Bren.

Service




There is so much good to be done in this world.

Anne Frank once said "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

This was a great event. Fifty women from our Church helped make it all possible. We made and then assembled 53 bags for school kids and finished 9 quilts. (A huge Thank you to Todd's Aunt Sue for her help with the quilt assembly and pattern.)
Here are some links for more information

A Cozy Christmas Quilt






A dear friend gave me some flannel scraps from a great quilt she made. I loved sewing the flannel pieces together. It was so soft! This was what I came up with. Thanks Michelle for the scraps. This is now our family Christmas quilt that may be out all year.  The kids love it.

Service


I was in charge of organizing a service project with a women's organization (Family of Women) that I recently was a part of. We completed 30+ fleece blankets for the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. We sent a note with the blankets sending get well wishing in loving memory of our cousins child Ian Pearson who is now among the angels.
