Richard and Amber's Wedding Present

Eight placemats and napkins

A table runner to match

I was given some lovely grape and wine bottle material from my secret sister last year.  I wasn't too sure what to do with it.  My sister, Barbara has been to Wisconsin to visit my nephew Richard and his new wife Amber and told me that they have a wine thing going on in their kitchen.  So here is my creation for them!

Thirft Store Bargin

On a rent trip to St Joseph's Thrift store on Lincoln in Santa Monica I found some quilting things!

6 books for 50 cents each and a full size quilt batting made of polyester for $ 4.00.

I may not use them and have already send the Machine Quilting Primer to Canada for a friend, but it is nice to have in my reference library.

Next to do list

Jessica and Tim's spare room quilt - material bought and pattern chosen!
Namaar's quilt
Amanda and Ken Grant's wedding quilt - still thinking about that one
Carshay's quilt - still thinking about that one
I have until May for Jessica's as I am going to Seattle in May
I have until the end of July for the Grant's as we wre travelling north in the summer
I have until the end of July for Becci and Jon's to finish

I still would like to do a new quilt for our room, guest room and the futon in my sewing cave.

I wonder what else there is awaiting me.
