Barbara Winder's Row Robin Quilt

The row of appliqued little birds is one of the best rows in all the quilts. Pat Kilpatrick did this row. She used ultra suede for the leaves.

These are all just put up on a design wall, row against row. They haven't been sewn together yet. Most will have some kind of spacer row between each row you see here. So done't panic yet.

Manteca Quilters Row Robin Revealed

I haven't posted pics in a long time and it seems my memory isn't going to be very helpful with my skill level tonight at almost midnight.
We had our Manteca Quilters' Row Robin Reveal tonight. First let me say Thank you to the Jerome, Idaho Quilting Spuds group for passing on the idea of a Row Robin quilt.
Each Row quilt was beautiful. It was like opening Christmas presents. You weren't sure what you were going to get but we were all happy with the results. We have some great quilters in our group, Dianah Pheifle, Linda Hiatt, Char Baker, Cyndi Natzke, Barbara Winder, Dorothea Knight, Janet Dyk, Sandra Hadley, Pat Kilpatrick and me, Liz Willis.
We had 10 quilters in our group and we ended up with 9 rows. Our guidelines were eight 6 1/2" blocks in each row, but that was expanded on when it came to several of our wonderul applique quilters. We started with our own row of flowers, and continued on with baskets, stars, animals, houses, trees, leaves, quilters choice and hearts.

Road To California 2011

I had a wonderful time and it was made possible by two good friends, Lue-Anne and Debbie. And we saw quilts that mostly overwhelmed us, and a few inspired us.

My New Red Corvette

We got a good deal on this 1989 red Corvette. We were told it doesn't run, but Jeff put the key in the ignition and it turned over. So tomorrow he is going to see what's running and not.

We actually bought it for the front and rear ends to put into his 1948 Chevy truck.

It still feels good haveing your dream car sitting outside, even if I know I'll never drive it.

Halloween

We had a quiet Halloween. That's what happens when you live in the country, 100 ft off the main road. Delaney and I decorated Halloween cookies. And then made Grandpa eat them.

Daphne was a Leopard. She isn't walking yet, but she can crawl faster than any baby we have had yet. She is like a flash, especially when she sees you coming after her.

And Delaney was the perfect Tinker Bell.

The girls

Natalie has always been a natural to any sport she tries and in a few days has mastered the Rip Stick that she won in a school contest. The band teacher at Summerville High in Tuolomne City was impressed that she knew what she was doing.

The other thing that Natalie is good at is patience and being able to teach someone else learn a new skill and make them think they did it all by their self.

And in a few short minutes, Allison had mastered the Rip Stick
