My Oiler's Quilt

Hey ...

I've been trying not to start something new until I get something finished.  So I finished fixing a shirt for one of the secretaries at school last night!  Now I can start my Oilers quilt!!  I can't decied what to do.  I found some blue and orange scraps from Dallas' Oilers quilt to add to the fat quarters I found.  Here's what I've come up with so far:

Block #1

The grey would become blue, the orange/yellow/pink would be orange and the white wouldn't change.

Block #2

The white would not change, the teal blue would become blue, the green and patterned pieces would be orange.

Block#3 - is actually the entire quilt.  I really really like this one but think I want to do it with a bunch of scraps.  It's from Red Pepper Quilts (I think that's the correct name).  I love her work.  I'm taking this one out of the running!!

I'm kind of leaning towards Block #1.  I'm going to draw out a pattern to see if I have enough material to make a nice couch quilt!  

I'm sick of this cold cold weather already and its only day number 2 of it!!

Thank goodness we have lots of quilts to keep us warm!!

Happy Sewing!

Decision made:  I'm going to use Block #1 and make a 54 in x 54 in quilt.  I'm going to make it one big quilt block instead of making it a bunch of times.  Here's my plan:

I'm excited to start this one!!

Stay warm!

Marilyn Monroe Sign

Hi! 

I was asked to make a couple of signs at the beginning of the school year. I'm the slowest person ever. I've got this one 3/4 done. I just gave to stain it. What do you think?

I hope Tera likes it. I'm worried bc the wood isn't as nice as it usually is!

Babies everywhere

Hi there,
So it seems like nearly everyone on staff (6) is having a baby.  I'm trying to develop my stockpile a bit especially in the boy department so I'm ready when these babies come.  Here are a couple of easy finishes I've had.  Her
