Baby shower gift/tag

Hello-  When I was uploading photo's yesterday, I found this post that I had uploaded the pictures for, but never wrote the post for it.  For those of you who read the blog all the time, you probably remember seeing pictures of the baby quilt I made for Jenna's baby shower.  Well, I also went to the one that Edith had for Jenna in Milwaukee and I wanted to bring a little gift for that one too so I made up a basket of stuff for her.  This is the little tag that I attached to the basket.  It is attached to the brown lamp in Mason's room and looks so cute.   Tonight, Diane, Joanne and I went to the Quilt Corner in Sparta for a Kansas Trouble Tea and trunk show.  Kansas Trouble is a line of fabric that is made my Moda.  Moda has beautiful fabrics, I just love them.  A lot of the quilts that they showed us tonight were made with this line of fabric.  They had all the tables in their backroom set up with table clothes, nice dishes, and we had our choice of beverage and dessert.  The dessert was fabulous and was a recipe from the Kansas Trouble newsletter we received in our bag with our packet of charm squares, and free patterns.  The presentation of quilts was a lot of fun to watch, and to see the books and patterns that are for sale actually made up into quilts.  We all found some treasures to bring home.  New patterns and fabrics always inspire you and the desire to sew, sew, sew,....is there just like when you get new stamping supplies!  We all really enjoyed the tea, and I hope to make the one in the spring!

Owl Tag

Hello-  I must be getting relaxed as I am sure am getting sleepy.  A quick blog post and then off to bed!  This is the tag that I made for Jenna's baby quilt package.  I made her tags instead of cards so that she could use them in Mason's baby book &/or scrapbook.  And I love to make tags.  I am hoping to have a play day soon to just fiddle around and make a bunch.

Diana made us her famous tuna fish sandwiches today.  She loves to make her "secret" recipe for us.  We worked on finishing up Jenna's big pile of thank you cards late this afternoon and evening.  I have 44 boxed up for her.  We will take them to Madison tomorrow when we meet Jenna.  Jacqueline came over tonight and she helped us with finishing the last of them and then we worked on punching out a bunch of scraps and we sent we the ones we punched home with Jacqueline so that she and Brittany will have some embellishments to work with.  Jacqueline said to me, "I could do this kind of stuff all day long".  I said me too.  That is my kind of girl!  Brittany was sick and was upset that she couldn't come.  I told Jacqueline to tell her not to worry about it, they are welcome to come any time.  They are such good girls.  Diana thinks it is pretty cool that they have chickens and wants to go out to see them.  She has decided that she would like to move up her so that she can have a chicken.  What a nut.  I can hardly wait till her parents hear that one.  She told me that her mother asked her what she likes the most that I cook while she is here and she told her beer bread!  Oh my...what a good impression.....LOL  I said to her what did she about that, and she said her mom makes things with wine and beer too so she didn't care.  WHEW!!!~  I thought she had me in trouble for sure!  (Like that would be the first time!)  Good night!  Elaine
