Truly Blessed......

Not only have I been blessed with a wonderful family, a fun job and the time to enjoy my passion for sewing,  I am surrounded by beautiful friends.  There are few things that make me happier than presenting a beloved friend with a new quilt.

This is my friend, Cara.  She is one of the most selfless people I've ever met and an absolute joy to be around.  Cara became a Grandma not long ago so I jumped on the opportunity to present her with her very first quilt that she can share with her new grandson.

This quilt is called the Easy Bake Charm Quilt, designed by my friend, Ila Kool, and taught at the Great Black Hills Quilt Escape in Deadwood, SD  in Sept 2012. Check out Ila's blog, Kool Quilts, in my blog list.  I love the Riley Blake fabrics! I'm going to make a girl version, too. 

The blessings continued as  I presented Barb with the Tossed Nine Patch made from her late husband's shirts.  The joy on her face brought tears to my eyes.

I'm teaching a quilting class!

On Tuesday from 10:30AM-2:30PM at Quilt-Tiques in Rapid City,  I'll be teaching my first quilting class using the Twister Tool.  I'll post a review of the Twister  Tool when the class is done. Here is a sample pillow I made using the Lil Twister tool.  Call if you want to join me!!  (605) 718-2739

Until my next posting.....may you notice and embrace the many blessings in your  own life.
