Cheryl's Quilted Zipper Bag with a Handle

Here is my brother's girlfriend's quilted zipper bag. I am told that she loves lighthouses. So I purchased lighthouses fabric on e-bay to make this bag. My brother said that the bag had to have handles. And it does. Enjoy your purse, Cheryl.

Quilted Class Pillow

Here is the quilted pillow that I made in my new sewing machine class. While constructing this pillow, I was able to practice my grid quilting skills, sew with the decorative stitches that came with my new sewing machine, and practice applying cording with a cording foot. This was a fun project.

Penny's UM Scarf

Here is my new University of Miami scarf that my little sister knitted for me. Some of us quilt and some of us knit today. She knows that I love all the Florida teams. I have mentioned to her that I am waiting for the matching sweater.

Mom's Blue Ribbon

Here is mom's Rosebud Quilt, with the pieced fencing borders, that I love so much. She entered this quilt in the 2009 Titusville Quilt Show. The show was a great success. I had the privilege of attending this wonderful event. All the quilts were just beautiful!

Here is a close-up of that Blue Ribbon. I am so very proud of you, Mom!

Valentine's Day Roses

I do love flowers. These are three of the seven dozen of roses that came to the house as gifts for loved ones. I had to take some photos. It was like a small florist in the dining room for a day.

Here is a close-up of one of the dozen of roses. Their buds arrived nice and tight and the daisies and greenery were just perfect. I wish you could smell these roses.

Here are new photos of the birds. You can't be taken photos of the roses without taking their picture as well. Their chatter totally distracts you from whatever you are trying to do.

Check out these dozen of varigated roses. They arrived from a different florist. They were very special roses.

Here is a close-up of the varigated roses. These roses were so unique. They were red with red streaks. They almost had a velvet look to them.
