You Are Strawberry Ice Cream

A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core. You often find yourself on the outside looking in. Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works. You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

This is interesting, I don't even like strawberry ice cream, well not store bought strawberry ice cream, I do like homemade strawberry ice cream........LOL.

Welcome to my new Etsy Shop

I have decided to open an Etsy shop. My shop BigHornMountainCreations will feature my soaps and bath creations, quilts, crazy quilting and other items. I will also feature work my husband Kirk does.

I only have 2 items up right now and hope you'll go check it out. I will keep you informed when I add new items. I will add more items shortly.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving

A Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

May your day be filled with the closeness of family and friends, what else is there really, that IS what life is about. May you find your heart overflowing with thankfulness.

My list of things I am thankful for

My Lord and my faith
My husband
My children, grandchildren, family and friends.
Our health, home and life comforts
Our country, soldiers and their families.
Blue skies, sunshine, rain, snow,
trees, flowers, gardens and God's gentle creatures.
Fabric, thread, beads, and all things pretty and soft.
Food.............except liver.
Water,
and the list can go on and on but I don't want to lose you.

I praise God and am thankful for all the good/beautiful things in this life and even for the bad/ugly things as it helps me appreciate the good things even more.


God Bless you all,
Gail

Pink and Green Block

This is the final part for this block. I took my cue from the fabric and added beads to the center.
I have decided not to add anything to the smaller patches around the edge. I also added a button butterfly to the stem of flowers on the right.

Here is the whole block.

Circles squared X88 = ??

Here is the quilt I was telling you about. This is from Fon's & Porter's Magazine
September/October 2006 issue page 62 and is called Peek-a-boo, designed by
Liz Porter.

I decided to do mine in all shades of pinks and greens, for my only granddaughter,
Destiny, she is all about pink. Below is a view of the back of the quilt.














Here is the front. Now this is only half done. It has not been a hard quilt, but I don't think I will do it again, because I don't like alot of repetition and this has definitely been that and only about 40 more circles to go, sigh................

I would like to thank everyone for the kind comments on my work, I love working with fabric and thread.

This morning I did some playing with soap again, this time I am trying to make a opal jem. Once it sets up and I cut it into a shape if it is what I think it should be I'll post it.

I am thinking on opening an Etsy shop for my soaps.

Ok, I have rattled on long enough for one setting, let me know what you think of this quilt.

Happy Sunday.

Flight of Fancy - RR

This is Lillian's work, pretty SR flowers and a butterfly.

Here is the block with all the lovely works. Isn't it a beauty? I am beginning work on the remainder of the block and will update you as I go along. Next I will finish up the fan RR block an then I think I need to explore some different colors.....LOL, everything lately has been pink and green.


I got back to sewing today, working on my granddaughters Christmas quilt. It is approaching half done. It starts with 2 circles of fabric and a circle of batting, squared X 88.........any ideas what it might look like?
