Inspired to post this weekend

Inspired today

I am so excited, while browsing the various quilting blogs today (while at work).  I came across a quilt idea that is so fabulous and such a good idea for all of those un used scraps.  Have you heard of a Tucker Tape Quilt?  I found it on several sites so I am not sure whom to give the credit too...but it is a great way to use all those bits and pieces that I tend to hang on to for that "I might need it some day project" 

I am going to go home tonight and rummage my stash and see what I can come up with..Did I say I am inspired???  I will share pics as I get started this weekend...

Spinning at the County Fair

Every year I go to the fair and spin my yarn and enter something to be judged. This year it was a challenge to spin a batch of wool that was split up between various people and to card, spin and make something from the yarn. Well not everyone completed the challenge by the time of the fair, but it worked out perfectly for the display. There was a example for every stage of the making of it there...I did finish a project...I called it my Cat Coaster ...anywhere it sits a cat will lay on it...saving my poor couches :)

Spinning Magic

September 2010 ~ Triston and I went to the Enchanted Acres Ranch in Benton City and spent the day enjoying the farm and animals and demonstrating the art of spinning Alpaca fleece.

Triston and I took turns spinning various colors of fleece, Trison's favorite is a miked colored Grey rose color that when finished looks a bit lavender.

There were lots of Alpaca's mommys and babies, they are so cute to see frolicing in the fields. It was such a joy to spend the weekend there.

Spring Doll Swap

Here is an adorable baby I made for the Spring Dinky Baby Swap...What should her name be?

Downy Quilt

I have finished a quilt to send to the Downy project, Thanks to my BF Lori who told me about this wonderful cause. They send you a qult kit and ask that you make it and then make an additional quilt to send to them, they in turn give the quilts to children in the hospitals...what a great reason to make a quilt..so here is the first quilt made from thier kit...
