Dresden Express 12 Ruler

Do you all remember a few months back me saying I would love to find one of these

rulers. Well, my friend found me one at the Long Beach Quilt Show. I was so overjoyed!!!

Now I can make more of the amazing kaleidoscope quilt blocks. Here is a pic of a quilt I have

been working on. Each block comes out so different from the other. I love to see how each one turns out.

Thank you Joyce for finding that ruler. You see it is made by June Tailor

and is not being produced anymore. :( But I am now a very Happy Camper.

Sneek Peek of Christmas Log Cabin Quilt

Here's a peek at the Christmas Log Cabin Quilt I am making.

Each square has a different center. The fabric is Debbie Mumm, and

I just fell in love.

This block is for the pillow I am making to

go with the quilt.

I plan on sewing many more blocks tonight.

I'll be showing you more as I get my blocks done.

Happy Day! ♥ Cindy

Baby Jacob

My nephew Jacob and his wife Celeste's baby came 5 weeks early.

He was born June 7, 2010 round 6 p.m. and weighed 3 lbs 8 oz.

They didn't have to put him on a respirator, only a feeding tube and oxygen.

He is now 3 lbs. 14 oz. and taking a bottle.

He's still in the hospital, but doing fine.

This first picture is of him just after he was born.

This next picture is of him a few days later.

This last picture is of his mother holding him last night.

He is a little mircale and
we thank God for taking care of Celeste and

baby Jacob.

Jennifer's Rag Quilt

Black and White Rag Quilt

Just for love... I made this rag quilt for my daughter just for love, and maybe a little fun!

Her room is black and white and some very bright color for accents.

I used my scrap fabric to make this quilt. I had a lot of fun making this quilt,

but I usually do when I'm making any quilt.

By the way this was my first rag quilt, and I really liked it. It's nice to work

on something and get it done in a day.

I'm still working on my son's dresden plate quilt, it's just taking a little longer

to get done.

Sorry for such a blurry photo. I don't know what happened there.

Whit's Birthday Cake

Jennifer made Whit's birthday cake. The cake is frosted with buttercream frosting,

and the decorations are fondant (homemade fondant).

She's doing great! I think, as I have said before "Jenn has

found her creative art side in cake decorating.

Just one more great job Jenn!

While my sons girlfriend was out visiting this last week I threw her a early birthday party

since I won't be with her on her birthday. I made this quilt for her. She was so surprised about that party and she just loved her quilt. As you can tell her favorite colors are black, white and red.

I had so much fun doing this quilt, I'm ready to do another one.

I'll just have to go shopping for more fabric. How fun is that!

What color combinations should I use, there's

just to many to pick from. I'll have to think of someone in the

family or a friend I have'nt given a quilt to and go from there.

I just love to see the faces of loved ones and

friends when they open their quilts!

My daughter is doing great in her cake decorating class.

This is her clown cake. I think she did a fabulous job.

I'll let you look at the pictures and decide for yourself.

I took pictures from differt sides of the cake, so enjoy !

Great job Jennifer!
