The Back and Front of the Quilts

This one is for Connor and will go to his Grandma's house:) 
This one too is orange and green, completely by accident, but this one goes to the Grandma to keep at her house.  Grandma's have to have their "baby stash" too, don't they? lol
This one is going to go to Connor too.  The orange and the yellow are the same, just the sashing and backing colors are different.      I have one more to make for Grandma, it's a red and white one that is really cute.  It has black and white puppies on it.  The top is done, but I have to get it loaded on the frame and quilted. Then of course do the binding.  I'm hoping to have all that done by this week end some time.  Happy Day everyone.

Took The Process Pledge

I took the Process Pledge today and thought I'm really giong to try and keep it up.  I just finished the binding on three quilts for a friend.  They're all three for her grandbaby, one is a baby quilt and the other two are a little larger than Crib size.  They came out pretty good, but not without a lot of issues along the way. lol    I have one more to do it's a red, red&white stripes, and black and white with red scarves on puppies.  It's really cute. It's flannel so won't be used till winter I'm sure.  It's almost the size of a twin bed though, so it can be put on the floor and the baby can lay there and play.  He's just turning two months old now.  I'll post pictures of them later today.  Have a great day all!

Pledge

I, Candi_Harris, pledge to talk more about my processes, even when I can’t quite put them in the in words or be sure I’m being totally clear. I’m going to put my thinking and my gut feelings out there.

Happy Pink Saturday!  Be sure and stop by Beverly's How Sweet The Sound and check out the blogs that are posting for Pink Saturday.  They are some truly awesome blogs!!  I'm introducing you to the two newest members of our Halloween Collection! lol We've named them Jolly and Molly.  We decorate for Halloween almost as much as we do for Christmas, so things that are out during the year all get put away from Oct. till January.  It's a lot of fun.  Keeps the dogs on their toes.  They have to have their time bark at the new things that we get. 

This is a picture I just love.  It's my Great Aunt Jo in a sailor suit.  If you look closely you can see a bag of Bull Derm peaking out of her pocket. lol She was quite a lady.  She survived the San Francisco Earthquake back in 1906;  She was the first woman to ever ride cross county in pants on the train;  She started the waitress union in Southern CA and came up to N. CA to start it here.  That is only a few of her accomplishments.  She traveled all over the US.  I sure do miss her, even to this day.  We lost her when she turned 93  I believe it was in 1977.

New Look

Hello all:)  As you can see I'm trying to get a new look on my blog, having one heck of a time.  I can see it in my head but can't seem to put it together.  I'm having the most trouble with the posts.  Either they're looooong and skinny or take up the whole page. lol  Maybe if I knew what I was doing it would make a big difference.  Us novices that try to take on the job of doing this (I don't care how easy they make it, it's not that easy for me.) need our heads examined! lol

Well, I'll keep at it until I  get it right.  whoo hooo I'm a die hard. lol
