MY SUMMER PROJECT...

This is my design of my hexagon quilt I'll be working on as a summer project..
I got one corner heart done with three more to make plus all those flowers.. Today I'm basting some hexagons...

My Win...

I am thrilled.. I won third prize ribbon for my drunkards path reversible quilt.. 

My new project...

I decided to make a new quilt top.. Disappearing Nine Patch... finished up the squares while hubby worked on putting new windows in our big back porch and our chinese student and his chinese friend cooked kabobs and potatoes  out on a fire  hubby made in the back yard.. They loved it and want to do it again.. lol

Me, where I love to be...

Disappearing Nine Patch.. 

I am not sure of the color to use for sashing, still not good with colors as yet.. and plan to put a couple borders on it as I want it bigger than this.. Kinda want the blocks to pop.. I was thinking maybe a light fabric.. Plus I may even change the pattern of the blocks as there seems to be a lot of seams to match up..  decisions, decisions..  lol
God Bless......

Attempting hexagons...

This is my first attempt at my hexagon flower.. not sure if I will make more.. maybe some day.. This may  be appliqued on a piece of fabric for a table or something.. Was not as difficult as I thought.. 

I have a table topper on my quilt frame but I am antsy to start a new quilt top... what to do... what to do..
God bless..

Death and Life...

Death....
Today is the 3rd anniversary of my moms death.. I keep thinking that if she were alive, I would make the most beautiful quilt for her... I just got into quilting a couple years ago.. I miss her very much.. I wrote this song to help be move on .. I have it sung on garageband/ itunes but can't seem to figure out how to put it up on my blog..

Miss Your Voice..

Looking back, thru my tears
Remembering you, and all those years
The times we had, more good than bad,
Memories... Are all we have..

I sure miss your voice..
Long to see your face
Want to reach out my hands
And hold on to you
Some folks say time heals
And my God reveals..
As we suffer our loss,
He will not let us go..

My heart hurts, knowing your gone
To see you again, is what I long
Oh but God had planned, it was your day
And so I watched, you slip away...

I sure miss your voice..
Long to see your face..
Want to reach out my hands
and hold on to you
Some folks say time heals
And my God reveals, as we suffer our loss
He will not let us go..
He will not let us go...

Life....
Today, my grandson was born.. As I was reflecting on my mom,  my son calls me with this news.. Thats when the tears came.. I feel so Blessed... Words can't describe my joy.. His name is Luke Thomas Martin.. My moms maiden name was Thomas.. God's hands were at work here..  I also have two of the most beautiful grand daughters.. Felicity and Lauryn.. They are 5 and 3 years old.. Blessings, Blessings, and more Blessings..

In death we have life........
God Bless.....
