    Did a block swap of the maple leaf. Had them for a long time as I couldn't settle on a layout. Got a magazine last fall and on the cover this pattern. Love it! Its a huge quilt top, at least 2 rows hanging over the 6 foot fence. Yet to be quilted but plans are in the works.

    Mine is one of my other passions: Autism Awareness. It's the awareness ribbon and my son's name.

    I just absolutely love hummingbirds :) I'm so jealous of yours

If you haven't looked at my post please do when you have some serenity time. Last page first will show you the best photos. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-56548-1.htm

    I love pictures of the backside of people, it makes you wonder what they are thinking @ the time the picture was taken. My avatar here just makes me smile :) My kids in their life jackets ~ they just love going on boat rides and cannot wait to find an island to explore.

    mine is a quilt I made as a fairly new quilter for my father-in-law. when my mom-in-law died, I brought it home. It's the only completed quilt I have in the house - I've given all the others away, lol... I don't have any pictures of those on a disc.

    I'm new so I chose a picture from my first time at International Quilt Festival in Houston. I played with all kinds of long arm machines while I was there, and stitched out all kinds of crazy little critters to see how they maneuvered. I did this little zombie/godzilla looking guy and he just seemed like a fun avatar and a reminder of a good time I recently had.

    Our cat, Iris, thinks she's a dog too. She follows my son around everywhere he goes & she brings him all her trophies. And when someone comes on our property she turns tail & hides.

    Mine is of my Blue & Gold Macaw. Her name is "JaJaBinks". I sort of rescued her from a not so nice home. She is awesome. She is silly, fun loving, and very curious. She loves to help me with everything from dishes to gardening, to baking. She LOVES halloween & goes to the door to see the kids. She talks, dances/etc for them. Parents take her pics & some video her each year. Soon she'll help me decorate the Christmas tree & on Christmas morning she's off her cage as soon as she sees me take the stockings down for her & the rest of my zoo. She loves to rips the packages open. She jabbers up a storm & makes us laugh.

    Mine is a quilt I made for Hubby's youngest Brother and his 2nd wife last 8-29-09. It is called Basket of Logs, a log cabin type.

    Mine is my furbabies, Burton and Momma. They are my sweethearts and entertainers. They love when the weather allows for open windows, preferring to share. They make me smile!
