Things to come

As I sit here thinking about how long it has been since I last blogged... I have to remind myself it isn't about getting to do things everyday or every month.. it is about doing things we enjoy and make us happy! This has been a very busy, trying year but I am so very grateful to have such wonderful caring friends to get through the good and bad times!
It is Christmas eve and I want to wish all my friends a wonderful holiday season and thanks for being my FRIEND!
Here are a couple of quilts I have fininshed in the last few months... I am going to finish the patterns soon and they will be on the website shortly.

Marilyn's Baskets (bedsize)

Randi's Little Sunshine (baby quilt)

Have a safe and happy NEW YEAR!!!

This is where I have been...

I have needed a vacation! so... my friend Norma and I went to Cancun for a week for some much needed relaxation! This was the view out our window.. isn't it grand? We stitched and stitched.. took naps.. watched movies and yes went to the beach! Mango margaritas are incredible!

When we returned it was time to go to Girl Gang! These are a few pictures from our meeting.. can you believe all the basket quilts! (I have got to get going on mine!)

Loved this Jan Patek design!

Cute baskets with cherries!

More baskets!

Cute stars!

As you can tell our group is fond of baskets and the designs of Jan Patek.

I have noticed that there have been several blogs with pictures of my "Sunny Days" pattern.. THANKS for sharing.. I love seeing them! Life here is getting much better as you can see.. Thanks for understanding when I don't my blog updated but as we all know sometimes LIFE gets in the way. Have a great day! Keep on stitching!

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.
