Two more finished!

I finally got two quilts finished! Woo Hoo! Life gets in the way of my quilting sometimes!

This quilt is called "Survivors" and the pattern will be website soon www.geoffsmompatterns.com
I am surviving right now.. things here have been stressful "they" (who ever they is) say things come in threes and I believe it.. my dog got diabetes, my mom got cancer and I lost my job after almost 10 years.. thank god I am surviving it all! One door closes another opens.. I am a firm believer!

This is my newest baby quilt pattern. I am calling it "The Kid". Geoff's friends are having their first baby and that is what they are nick naming him right now.. he hasn't been born yet but I think he was due yesterday... so any day now.
Life here is going on and I enjoy having time to sew! I have had such a horrible work shift the last 6 months working 2am to 1030am that it is nice to be back to sleeping and having "normal" hours. So forgive me for not blogging much but know I am thinking about it.

Spring Cleaning!

Spring has arrived and that means no more procrastinating! Norma and Leslie pitched in to help clean my sewing room! Here they are trying to decide whether to keep or donate to a worthy cause. It is great to have friends decide these things.. takes the worry away! Here they are folding fabric and putting into bins...

My dog Abbie wanted to make sure she was helping...

My other dog "Babe" was supervising...


Can you believe the mess???


My wonderful "civil war" browns...

Here are a few of the completed bins ready for me to label...

My new shelves with baskets for me to organize patterns and projects...

My wonderful organized closet... (do you think I have TOO MUCH FABRIC?) Livy helped me organize the larger pieces on the bottom shelf.

I love my pin cushions.. and Norma will not throw away a pin.. so she kept sticking them in my cute pin cushions.

Oh yes.. one more organizer.. love the shoe organizer I put on the closet door helps keep the odd sized stuff together..

So now you know why.. I haven't blogged because I haven't had much time.. it is amazing how much I had accumulated.. yikes it can be scarrrry! Thanks to my wonderful friends I now have a great place to sew! More patterns to come..
Thanks to http://www.fatquartershop.com/ for carrying my patterns.. I LOVE THIS SHOP!
Hope you all have a wonderful Easter! I am heading to St. George for the weekend to getaway for a few days!

At the quilters..

Sorry no pictures today! My new quilt "Survivors" is at the quilter.. she loaded it last night.. I am so excited! She was wondering how to quilt it? I love what she does with my quilts so I always let her decide.. I wish I was better with quilting patterns but I am not. (maybe in my next life..ha ha) I have had so many friends wanting to see the finished project.. I can't wait to post it! Ok.. I am rambling here.. sorry.. hope you are all well and happy!
