Great Ride Today.





Today we decided to take off to the mountains and see how the Mustang handles the curves. We headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway to see how spring was coming along. As you can see by the pictures there is still some ice on the sides of the mountains. It was a little too cool to ride with the top down but it was still a great ride on the parkway.


Thank goodness our phones have cameras, so some
reason neither one of us can remember our digital cameras.
Even thou it looked like rain most of the day and it was in the low 50's it was just great to get away.

WOW It's 70!

Can't believe the warm weather the past few days, ever since Saturday the days have been getting warmer. Now that being said, I had to work last weekend with the balmy weather happening. I'm off this coming weekend and the weather is suppose to be back to normal - 40's with possibility of rain - it figures!

Star Struck Quilt


I thought I would share the making of a quilt. This quilt is called Star Struck and the pattern came from Quiltville. I used an 80/20 blend batting and the quilting pattern is called Happy Times.

My New Ride!

After a month of off and on looking last Friday I came home with my new car. Sad to say good by to the Mini, what a great car she was.
This nice candy apple red convertible will see many of miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway just a cruising.

So needless to say between looking at cars and work I have not accomplished too much on the sewing front. Although I did finish the bindings on 2 quilts and today I start the binding on the Double Wedding Ring Quilt. I have only done a curve binding once before and on a much smaller quilt so it will take me alittle bit to get it done. Thanks to the help of some helpful info videos on You Tube by some professional quilters I found a great way to cut the binding.

Well, break time is over back to the machine.
