Handprints and zigzags

The quilt with the hand prints was for a man in the ward who’s in the hospital. His wife is a primary teacher. (Love her!).  The handprints are from the primary children. It didn’t turn out as nice as I would have liked it to but it’s cute. We used an iron on to put a message in the blank square.

I love the zigzag quilt. It was for a friend who had a new baby boy. I love it so much I’m going to do another one (or two…).

My sewing machine needs to go into the shop. Hopefully I’ll get it back soon!

Pinwheel Party Quilt

I am really good at starting projects and really bad at finishing them.  I started this 8 week quilt along in 2010 and finished it last night (2015, yikes!).  It is far from perfect but I have to say I LOVE IT.  And IT’S DONE!  It can be found at twiddletails.blogspot.com.

Cub Scout Ethan

This is Ethan.  He’s the new Cub Scout Mascot.  Andrea wanted a standee for cub camp.  I found a picture to use as a guide and made him for her.  The first day of camp the wind blew him over and knocked his head off.  After some minor surgery, he was good to go!

Another one done!

Another quilt finished! I’ve been working on this for a long time. This was another charm packet that Brook gave me. Brook did the quilting on this one for me. Thanks Brook!

The Chevron quilt was for a friends baby. I love how it turned out! The other quilt has been in the making for about 3 or 4 years! Brook gave me a charm pack for my birthday. I pieced it together and Brook quilted it for me (I hate that part). Thanks Brook! It was worth the wait. I love it!

Where does the time go? You would be 40 today. I often wonder what your life would be like today. I know you would have done great things. But it wasn’t meant to be. You are forever 23. I miss you. Happy birthday Andrew.

Happy birthday Matt
