It's a Small World

That saying was never truer! And to attest to that fact, Rachael was the only 6th grader chosen to perform at the Last Blast Castillero Variety Show. Click to hear what she will be playing!!!

Truely Scrumptious

I'm trying to catch up on my outstanding projects and finally got the binding put on this weekend while my kid was sick with the stomach flu, ick. Here is an embroidered/pieced/appliqued quilt that has darling embroidered panels. I've taken a photo of my favorite one up close!

Spring in Paris

It's late spring and I'm trying to teleport myself to the very romantic Paris for a week of museums, gardens and baguettes....poof....not happening. Oh well, instead I'll enjoy this new quilt that I finished that will be a beginning applique class at the shop. Enjoy!!!

Rachael and Minnie Mouse

It seems as though April and May totally flew by and although I've been working on things, I just haven't finished anything all the way...so in lieu of any quilting photos, I thought I'd put up a picture of my daughter, Rachael and her BFF, Avalon taken at Disneyland when they went to perform at the Heritage Jazz Festival this past weekend.

Strawberry Hill

I'm trying to finish all my Bunny Hill Designs quilts and this is another one that was tucked away in the back of the closet. It is from an old Fig Tree line called Folklorique and I really like the blue birds and sweet bunnies.

Bunnies, Bunnies...everywhere

This latest quilt is called Le Jardin and is a pattern by one of my favorite designers Anne Sutton. Anne made this quilt with the French General line of fabric, but I thought it might be cute to use Anne's own line of Lily and Will. I love all the bunnies and thought it came out cute. It will be a perfect addition to my Easter and Spring decor.

Strawberry and blueberry shortcake

On Sunday evenings, we all try to have a nice family meal together. The weeks are so hectic sometimes, so this is our big chance to talk, discuss the week's activities and just be together. Most of the time it's fun (except when someone complains they don't like this, or don't like that) and now that we have changed back the clocks and have more daylight, we thought the perfect meal would be ribs. So Mark slow cooked some babyback ribs on the bbq and I made some fingerling potatoes and a greek salad. For dessert, I made a pound cake and we had fresh strawberries, blueberries and homemade whipped cream. Mark then put some sprigs of fresh mint on the top and I thought it looked so pretty...I took a picture. Doesn't it look good??
