2012 Y-Flyer Sailing Nationals Quilt

The drawing for the sailing nationals quilt was held at the Beers Regatta in Atlanta, GA earlier this month.  The winner is Ben Guise of Little Rock, Arkansas.  We raised close to $500 this year.  Thanks to everyone who bought tickets!

This year our sailing nationals were held at Harbor Island Yacht Club in Nashville, TN.  This is the quilt I’m making as the annual fund raiser for the nationals.  Since we just moved I didn’t have time to get it completed in time to present… Continue Reading “2012 Y-Flyer Sailing Nationals Quilt”

Week 13 – May 13 – 19 – Quilted Throw Pillows

Voila!  Here’s what I made with the “practice quilt” from last week.  Ok Ok Ok, I know what some of you are thinking – I can’t believe she cut up that quilt!  There are two sides to this argument – if you have a… Continue Reading “Week 13 – May 13 – 19 – Quilted Throw Pillows”

Week 12 – May 6 – 12, 2012 – Finish That Quilt

This is a quilt top I purchased on eBay for about $10.  I bought it with the idea of using it to practice quilting on my quilting machine – which I did.  However, I did add the outside borders first since it was SO… Continue Reading “Week 12 – May 6 – 12, 2012 – Finish That Quilt”

Week 11– April 29 – May 5, 2012 – Rice Heading Pad

Oh, what a wonderful project this is.  These little bags are easily constructed and then filled with regular rice.  Heated in the microwave for just a minute or two then placed where needed to provide comfort.  Use as you would a regular heating pad… Continue Reading “Week 11– April 29 – May 5, 2012 – Rice Heading Pad”

Week 10 – April 22 – 28, 2012 – Potpourri Air

Week 9 – April 15 – 21, 2012 – Bone Neck Pillow

Look another pillow!  What can I say, I like pillows.  Although I’m not one of those women who likes 15 pillows on my bed, but when I want a pillow I like to have them handy.  This one is especially nice to have on… Continue Reading “Week 9 – April 15 – 21, 2012 – Bone Neck Pillow”

I’m back …

I may be back, but I’m not sure where all my stuff is. We moved from Wanamaker, IN to New Palestine, IN.  Although that’s only about 8 miles away – moving is moving.  We were in that house for over 25 years and in… Continue Reading “I’m back …”

Week 7 – April 1 – 7, 2012 – Round Beach Tote

If you know me, you know I love bags!  Zippered bags (like last week), purses, and tote bags of all kinds, but this was the first time I’ve made one of these.  First of all – it’s got a round base!  And grommets around… Continue Reading “Week 7 – April 1 – 7, 2012 – Round Beach Tote”

Week 6 – March 25 – 31, 2012 – Zippered Bag

Zippered bags are pretty easy to make and it took just a couple hours to make this bag.   This is my Garmin and it’s been without a case since it was accidentally left in a rental car on our last trip to Florida.  Unfortunately,… Continue Reading “Week 6 – March 25 – 31, 2012 – Zippered Bag”
