2013 CUSTOM FINISH!

I am so relieved to be able to relax and enjoy the Christmas season now.  I have finished the last custom quilt for the year.  It is the one below.  A PineBurr quilt pieced by Ginger.  Did you know that the PineBurr quilt is the 'state quilt' of Alabama?  Who knew?  Does every state have a 'state quilt'?  I have to say that the piecing is really well done and the fabrics are beautiful.  It is always a breath of fresh air to quilt one like this!!  

Tomorrow I will go to the airport and pick up the Doodle part of 'DoodleMoochie'.  I am so excited to be finished with 'work' for the year and be able to now concentrate on family and Christmas.  Thanks to all of my clients for a great year!

And now, enjoy the pics.  Front and back.

6 Months in a Day

Here is what I have been up to for the last six months....

Revisited places from my childhood on a trip to the Midwest.

Spent time laughing and making memories with family.

And I quilted a little too!

More fun with family!

A trip or two with the Mayor.

Whew!  That brings us to December.
I am tired!

So that gets us all up to date, no?  You know sometimes I love to read a good, long blog post about something meaningful or thought provoking and some days I just like to 'look at the pictures'.  I hope you were able to enjoy my last six months as much as I have.  Now it is time for the holidays.  Bring on the cookies and egg nog.  Well, maybe just the cookies.
