My Alliance for American Quilts Entry

Here is a picture of my entry into the Alliance for American quilts. It had to be 16 inches square and voila...16 inch squares are what I always do!!! I really had a good time working on this one. The winner of this contest is based on the votes of the members of the Alliance. I keep checking their website, but they haven't posted the entries. I have heard there were over 60 of them. This may be my last post before I go to Maine.....

Bye for now,

Aren't They Cute!

I know this is a crazy quilt blog, but I couldn't resist! This is a picture of my two littlest ones. They made their own card for Father's Day and this is the picture they used. They say they are in their 'skins' because they have no shirts on! (Yes, they do have pants on.....)

A couple of you asked what fabric I used for my Mommy's Ties square. I used pink ties! I had been collecting them for something else I was going to do, but I used them for this instead. Don't get in my way when the pink ties go on sale...anywhere I can find them!

Talk to you later,

Mommy's Tie's Block #2

Here is block #2 for Mommy's Ties. I know that in my last post I said I was going to do 2 of these and make a needlecase/book, but I am having so much fun doing these! I am considering doing 6 of them and making a small quilt instead. I don't know what do you think? Only a couple of weeks until I go to Maine! I think I have this class down....Now on to study up for Crazy Quilt 101 and Crazy Quilt 201.

Talk to you later,
