Hoffman Challenge doll

This is my doll for the Hoffman Challenge. She is called 'Asian Steampunk'. I had lots of fun doing the Victorian/gear thing. Her obi is a corset and the tie is instead geared wings. Her fan is geared too. She has her goggles and top hat but still has the Kimono look.

These are a closeup of her boots. The band has little watch gears on it

Baby Mallorie and crocheted sweater

Here is a picture of Mallorie on Sunday May 22. She is five days old.

Here is Mallorie on Thursday the 26. Finally got her when she wasn't sleeping

Here is a great pic of Mom and Mallorie.

Here is the little sweater I crocheted.
Had to make a pink one!

New granddaughter

I have been off line as my Internet was down. I am back now and a new provider and faster connection! Yea!
My new granddaughter Mallorie was born Wed. May 18 at 2:19 am. She weighed in at 7 lbs and 9 ounces and is 19 1/2 inches long. It was a long labor and grandpa and I were there the whole time. We have seen each of our grandkids being born. It is so exciting watching them being born. A real miracle!

Here is a picture of Mallorie and daughter Samantha.

Here is a picture of my hubby with Mallorie

Baby's Room

Here are pics I took of mom and the baby's room with the rest of the things I made!
Here is the crib bumpers that match the diaper stacker.

Matching quilt and curtains. I added the pink with the white polka dots as she wanted the feminine touch added to the Jungle Babies.

Sam sure is big! Only three weeks to her due date!

The mobile that matches the Jungle Babies. This I bought! LOL

Practicing Free Motion quilting

I made some table mats and a runner from charm square packs so I could practice some free motion quilting. Not real good.....I still have trouble with curve control. But I like how the turned out. Love the pattern on the square mat.

This is the square tablemat pattern.

I need tons of work on my feathers

Diaper Stacker

Well, I have been remiss in taking pictures again. I made the the crib bumpers, curtains diaper stacker and bound a premade quilt for my daughter's baby's room. I did get a picture of the diaper stacker so you can at least see the fabric my daughter chose. It is a cute jungle baby theme.
She is having a girl!

Quilt Show

This last Saturday and Sunday was my quilt guild's quilt show. It turned out really nice. Here are a few of the quilts at the show.

The lady on the left was our featured quilter. She is Geraldine Nall, a member of our guild. She is an excellent minature artist. These are some of her quilts.

Here are some felt quilts. I really like these.                                                             

This is looking down one of the rows. We have our show at the refurbished Blue Goose Shed. It adds a lot of ambiance to the show. It is an old fruit shed next to the railroad where local growers would send off there produce to markets.

This is another of Geraldine's minatures. The pieces are so tiny!
