Great looking bags Lotti.

Love the bags, Lotti. I like making them too!

Lottie - the bags look a treat! Great job!

I've had an exciting weekend - I just got my wedding star quilt back from the longarmer and I'm THRILLED with how it turned out! Much better than I could have managed....going to have to get cracking on a curved binding now to finish it off! :-D

My iPad won't let me post pics tonight but I'll try again later

Hello everyone!

Whew! Time is just speeding by.

Jen I'm excited to see your wedding ring quilt. I love your colors.
Lotti, you are quite the bag lady and I mean that in a nice way! All those handy bags and so cute. I'm with Nancy, that cow fabric is a hoot!
Dorothy your mondo bag is very nice. Love the colors.

Ok, here is a picture of Victorina Rose with my son.



And here is a picture of her Halloween onesie. I will get a picture of her in it next week when I get to see her. This is a free download from All People Quilt.



And for fun, here is a picture of some "friends" that followed me home the other evening after my walk and getting the mail.



My thread painting class was very good. I enjoyed it and I feel confident enough to try it on "real stuff".

Have a good week everyone,

geneva

Your new granddaughter is beautiful, Geneva, and I LOVE her new onesie! Your friends are pretty cute, too.

[twiglet]

Your granddaughter is scrummy. Daddy looks so proud

Great bags Lotti, I agree with the comments on the cow fabric really cute.

Geneva--aww--isn't she sweet. Time for some cuddling.

[loise98]

Mondo Bags are the best. So much fun to make.

Babies, goats and Ghaul-friends. Life's great!

[kfstitcher]

Congratulations Geneva! She'll be all set for her first Halloween in her onesie.
We are anxiously awaiting grandchild three due in 10 days!

I commented before I actually saw the picture of the baby. SO CUTE!
also where do you have to go for your mail that has critters like that?!

[kfstitcher]

Thanks for sharing that story Rosemary. Now I know what the initials C. A. R. E stand for too.
I love your little tree quilt!

[kfstitcher]

Awww...she's so cute Geneva!!! Love the onsie! Love the critters following you too...were they expecting you to give them a treat :silly:

Lotti.......wonderful bags! They are just mooooovelous! Love the modern satin stitching, too.
Geneva......ahhhhhhhhh! So very sweet! Congratulations! And, the onesie is pretty cute too! Thank you for the download site!
Jen......feels good to finish a quilt, huh!? Looking forward to pictures.
Dorothy......the link worked, and the mondo bag is cool. Love the batiks!

I have 5 days before leaving for the Houston quilt show, so am gathering up class supplies, washing clothes to take, figuring out an easy menu for DH, and doing some general cleaning. My sewing room looks like a bomb went off in there. I still have "props" from our recent quilt show to put back where they belong, and my cutting table is loaded with all of my "to pack" stuff. Almost time to bring out the suitcases!
