Last Vintage Ride of the Season

This past Sunday (3/15/09) was the last vintage ride of the season for the Baker River Valley Snowmobile Club.   We had quite a turnout.  There were 31 snowmobiles. We had good weather.  The sun was shining all day.  It did get a little warm for some of the sleds.  The older motors just don’t like […]

Under the Sea

I completed a quilt for one of my customers the other day.  It came out awesome.  Jerusha made this quilt for her son who is a scuba diver.  The quilt was a challenge for me because I wanted to incorporate many under sea creatures and a couple of scuba divers. Google is my best friend […]

Progress on Ellen’s Christmas Quilt

Necktie Quilt for Josh

My friend’s mother, Leslie, asked me to make a quilt for her son. His stepdad had passed away last year. He had a ton of neckties. So I received 63 neckties with which to make a queen size quilt for Josh. I thought this would be a challenge. As I have never worked with neckties. […]

First Ridable Snow

I took a break from quilting this afternoon to ride my snowmobile around the yard. I took Maggie and Sport for a ride also. I was surprised when I didn’t have to chase Sport to get him on the sled. He came right to me, I helped him up and we took a spin around […]
