Debbie's First Project


This is the first quilt project Debbie had made. Debbie did a great job on the Pine Tree table runner, all her points matched and her choices of materal worked well together, she did a good job in machine quilting. I am very proud of a wonderful job she did. She is hooked on quilting, and started a new quilt. I will post it when she is done with the next quilt. Keep up the great work sis. :)

New Book

I finished reading this book. I have received it for Christmas from my nephew (Matthew). I have red all of Jennifer Chiaverini's books on Elm Creek series. I have enjoyed all of them and when a new book comes out I have to read it. One of my quilter friends (Jan K.) had turn me on to the Elm Creek series. It is all about quilting and friendships. :)

Lexus RX300


This is my new wheels to get around in Wisconsin. I bought the car from my niece (Lisa), it is a 2002 SUV and it drives like a truck in the snow. This is much better that my 2001 Chevy Corvette. I enjoy driving this car and it handles great. Thanks Lisa :)
