Livermore High School Class of 1965 Reunion

Well, guess what I'm working on for the next year! Yep - -45 Year Class Reunion! So does anyone have good suggestions (other than Classmates.com) to locate email addresses of classmates?

Carla's Quilt

Wow, it's been way too long since I posted! I think what happened is that I got started on facebook - -not really writing anything but looking - -every 15 minutes!--so between that and email - -well I just got "teched out!" But now I'm on a roll and promise to post more regularly.
I wanted to show off the quilt I gave my good friend Carla for her birthday. She's one of those friends who is just always there for you and I wanted to do something special.


Be back soon!

Can You Guess

What I'm working on?

OK - -you win - -yep Country Journal by Maggie Walker. You can see it here

Here is the start of my first block. I can tell this will be a longgggg project for me. One of the major part is collecting the fabric. Of course all you quilters know once you start "collecting" for a project it's sooo hard to stop - -alright already Linda you have enough!

So while I'm in my sewing room I have this crazy collage of old photos stuck on the wall that are really cotton candy for me to look at. So, thought I'd share with you:
I come from a family of 4 sisters and here we are I think when I'm in about 7th grade

And here are three of us at Disneyland - -the youngest -Laurie was still too long to endure a crazy day at the park

Flash forward to the Junior Prom- - wasn't Bob just the cutest thing - -his brother Joe and girlfriend (soon to be wife) Arlene with us. Check out the big hair!!!

Have a good week. I'm off to southern California with Mom and sister Becky to visit youngest sis, Laurie. We're all looking forward to a good Powers girls visit and tuna sandwiches!

Winter Memories

Today I finished this quilt that I started in a class given by Sandra Mollon at In Between Stitches this past fall.It's off to the quilters soon. The colors look very washed out in this picture, sorry!
I also wanted to post this picture of my mother-in-law, Virginia, and her new quilt.

WoooooHoooooo - -Happy New Year!

Happy New Year folks! We had a very quiet holiday season this year, it was lovely! I've gotten so bad about posting here. It seems nothing of interest much happening.
However, I would like to share pictures of my newest grandnephew with the quilt I gave him. He's such a cutie - -Sam!

Yikes! December's coming in the morning!

Wow - -time has really gotten away from me this year. Hope you all had wonderful Thanksgiving (if you're viewing from US). We had the most wonderful trip to Maui last month. We took our daughter,LisaMarie for her upcoming big 40. Here are a couple of pictures of the view at sunset and the three of us.




My only other news is this week I'm having carpel tunnel surgery - - I'll be back as soon as I can to blog away and I just can't wait to sew without that pain. See you later, Linda

New Quilt For Hannah

This week Hannah had her birthday - -here's a picture of her with the quilt I made her.
