Happy New Year my family and friends.  Did you ring it in just the way you wanted to?  I enjoyed a evening of watching Netflix and ordered me a free pizza I saved for tonight and had some doodle time.  Doodling for me keeps my mind busy, relaxes me, and helps me to build my quilting skills.  This is the one I completed last night, I like to sometimes put a lil message in them for holiday and such.  I will begin a new book today, for a new year.  If you see my doodles and look at my quilting you will sometimes notice the likeness. My New Years Eve Doodle There is a quilt blogger I  like to follow, I may have mentioned her before.    Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville  I admire her a lot she gives amazing ideas on a scrap saver system.  I have all but her newest books, and I love her quilt style, scrappy which is one of my favorite type of quilts to make.  She is very inspiring and encouraging.  I read her blog every morn...

"Be Neat"

Good morning my friends and family!  Its early and coffee time for me.  I hope you all had a good weekend and got to do something you love.

Good morning quilt friends and just friends and family, if any are starting to follow me.  I have a favor to ask of you.  If you could please subscribe to my blog and share it with the world for me.  Help me to grow!  Thank you my friends I knew I could count on you. Well its Saturday morning and I'm drinking my coffee and meditating a lil.  Clearing my head of negativity and focus on the tasks I'd like to accomplish today.  I've really been working hard at the quilt frame to get caught up.  When I first started up my business my timing was 4 to 6 weeks.  I'm finding I need to change that to 8.  When you are quilting custom quilts you do not want to rush it.  You want to make each one as special as you can.  It is a heirloom and gifts for someone that I have the pleasure of helping to make happen.   Learning a time frame has been my main challenge on this wonderful endeavor I've taken on. I am very passionate about wh...
