About Me

My photo
I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota with my husband Bill, 3 sons, 2 dogs,, 2 horses-now 1, bottle calves and Chicks. I love to Quilt. I enjoy Horses,Gardening, Flowers, Archery, Camping, Fishing, Bottle Calves and all things with animals. I started sewing when I was 8 for 4-H, and have sewed off and on since. I discovered how fun quilting was over 7 years ago. I still sew on a Kenmore that was a graduation gift in 1981. I have a New Kenmore 385.19, and a Viking 400, a Singer Treadle, a Featherweight. and a Viking Ruby. In February 2010 I purchased an APQS Longarm , and Love everyone of them. I taught my 1st paper-piecing class, it was such a blast!

This is the top I entered, it is my Mccommas the pattern is a paperpieced one by Karen Stone. I finished the top but am "still" unsure how I wanted to quilt it, so haven't done that part. It Won 2nd Place in the TOPS Division!


Following are pictures of the 2nd-SECOND Place Winner.
This I entered under Misc. and is a Kitchen Set including: Table Topper Piece, Reversible Placemats, Pot holder(2 kinds)and Napkin set. With this set I also made chair pads and cup/glass mats (but didn't enter them)

This is the Center Stage Pattern By:Pieced Tree Patterns and then I added an the additional Border of the Brown Brands.
This is the quilting around the center fabric of the horses, Then did a round the brand loops on the outer brand border Fabric, with a lot of Stitch in the Ditch.
Another picture with the Reversible Placemats. The fabric with the horse heads are one that I also made matching Chair covers with and reversible cup/glass holders.

This picture includes the potholders and Napkins that I entered.
