JoJo - 6 months

Here is my big baby! He turned 6 months old on Friday and he is so big and goofy! For anyone that has not experienced a Great Dane - they are the strangest,funniest most unique dogs. Make sure you check out our 40lbs lab on the side - he makes her look like a runt.

New Stuff

Mom and I did a little bit of shopping in Paducah, KY and then a little more while she was here in Georgia. Here is the new stuff I bought:

All of this is from JoAnn's for the new 2009 Block of The Month quilt called Memory Lane - Hopefully I will get started soon so you will be seeing a lot of it :-).

These are the first Moda fabrics I have purchased. I really like this package. I haven't figured out what I am going to make yet, but it should be fun.

I picked these up at Hancock's in Paducah - it is supposed to be the best quilting store in the US, I was not really that impressed but I did pick up this bunch of fat quarters and some more military fabrics for my honey :-). He always says he got jipped and has the smallest quilt I have made (his also happened to be the very first) so one of these days I am going to make him a really big quilt.


Sorry - I didn't take pictures of the fat quarters I bought at Sweet Home in Conyers, but I must say I love this little shop.... It is this cute little house with a great porch and old hardwood floors (You think thats my style :-)?). I will be back. Mom bought this great wall quilt patten of big sunflowers. It is all applique, which is not my thing but it was so pretty.

January Block Swap

Here is my January Block for my block swap club. I think it's cute, I don't usually use the types of prints, but she asked for a star block with red prints. I love this star block pattern, it's called a no-name star, I have used it before but I really really like it. This block is headed to Anne in Australia.
Here is the block I received from Anne. Thank you :-).

Somewhere in time - October, November & December

I had a little bit of time to sew last weekend. My mom was here and I was trying to get this top completed so I could send it with her to have quilted, but I ran out of energy and didn't complete it. Oh well..... Still in the unfinished prjects.
This block is called Coxey's Camp.

This one is Maple Leaf.

And this one is Poinsettia.



Here is a picture of all the blocks completed. I re-arranged a few of them that I didn't think looked good next to each other. I am almost done with the sashing so there will be new pictures soon.

Jo-Jo - 4 1/2 Months

This is Jo-Jo last week. Yes, we changed his name once again - but this time it is set. JO-JO :-). We went to the vet yeterday and he is up to 41lbs. He doesn't seem to be getting a lot taller to me yet, but he is longer and filling out. I love my boy. He plays hard - but chills even harder. It takes him at least 5 minutes to get out of his kennel in the morning. He stretches and yawns like an old man.

December Block Swap

This block is called Glitter, Glitter. It is really detailed. The Batik fabrics look great with this one. I have never bought Batiks before, I tend to like more simple fabric, but this one is so pretty! I almost hate to mail it off. This block is going to Priscilla in Wichita, KS.

November Block Swap

Another International Block! This one is headed to New Zealand. I can't wait to see what I get in return. The request was blue, no theme or style. Of course, I like stars so I made this block called No Name Star. I really like it and may have to make me a few of these.

September Block of The Month

Yeah, yeah - I know I am way behind and hopefully by the end of the year I will catch up :-). This block is called Pinwheels and Sawtooth and it is the September block of the Somewhere in Time Block of the Month Quilt.
