Laura with her Quilt

Scarves

Diaper Bag

This is a diaper bag that Jessica and I started while I was in Idaho last week.  She chose all the colors and helped me plan the whole lay-out.  I brought it back home so I could do some quilting on the sides and finished putting it all together today.  It was really a fun project (since I didn't have to do it completely by myself).
I will be setting my sewing projects aside for a few days so I can finish knitting a scarf that I started while on the plane.  Jessica and I found Knifty Knitters on sale for .99 cents so we grabbed up a few at Porters in Rexburg.  I knit and crochet occasionally, but these contraptions seem to make the projects go a little faster, so they're fun.

 

 

Baby Quilt

This is not the only baby quilt I will make for Crystal's baby, who is due in April.  We will work on some other projects and come up with something else...and two twin-size quilts for Audrey and Jane for their new beds.  Be watching for those.  Crystal has planned out the colors and style for those two twin-size quilts, then we need to get together and work on them.  This quilt is made out of flannel fabrics.  The main fabric has ABC's on it.  I pieced the top several years ago and just never got around to quilting it until recently.

What Terry Got for Christmas

Terry's been wanting this solid marble statue of Christ for some time, so when it was half price I decided to get him one for Christmas.  We think it looks great in this spot.

Parker's Table Runner

Made this for the Parker's for Christmas.

May have to do this in separate postings again.  I was able to get three pics on here for starters...to be continued...

Scrappy 9-patch Quilt

Embroidery Thread

I don't think I showed you all my beautiful quilting thread for my new embroidery machine.

Weekend Project

Pillow

I made this like a pillow case.  It's quilted, of course, and matches Alli's crib quilt.

Christmas AND Birthday Gift

This is my new "toy" that my husband insisted he spoil me with.  He didn't have to twist my arm too much.  We got a great deal.  It's going to be lots of fun learning how to work this thing.  I know the basics, but that's about it.  What wonderful quilting and embroidery projects we're going to do on this thing, girls!

Alli's Quilt--Close-up

I'm having problems posting pictures in a group again.  I tried and tried and finally gave up and decided to post them each separately.

Alli's Quilt--Front

Alli's Quilt--Back

This was my weekend project.  Now my sewing machine is so worn out that I will need to take it in for maintenance tomorrow.

Reasons to Celebrate

Before I totally lose control here, I have to share my reasons to celebrate this time of year--besides the Thanksgiving holiday, the birth of Christ and a New Year on the way!

1.  Snake River Worms & Castings, LLC is up and running and Chandler is excited, Terry is excited, Jacob is excited and can you tell we're ALL excited?!
2.  We just hired a new secretary for Willow Fork Pallet, Inc. and she will start Jan. 4.  This will allow me more time to spend with Terry traveling and working on those baby quilts, etc.
3. Allison and Claire who will arrive into our family in March and April!!!!!
4.  Baby quilts for Alli and Claire who will really care less, but it will be fun any way.

Now the rest of you need to make your own lists!!

Baby Bibs

These are bibs I made for the new grand-daughters.  I was having a hard time uploading images on here the other day.  I actually worked on these last weekend.  They are so easy and fun to make.  I'm sure I will make some smaller ones soon.  These are toddler size.
