Knowing my love of snowmen, mom purchased this kit for me last year. In September of 2010, she was diagnosed with cancer and passed away so quickly on October 4th. Mom inspired me my entire life with her incredible artistic talents. She loved to create and decorate. I miss her valuable remarks, even the negative remarks that were always meant to "learn from". Every time she discovered a mistake she would remark, "only God is perfect" and then continue to scrutinize my project. But thanks to mom, I love to quilt, knit, crochet, garden, upholster and refinish furniture, watercolor, and so much more. I, too, love to create! Thanks, mom!
I will be giving this to my daughter at Christmas and am so excited to see her reaction. 
is extremely satisfying. It took almost 2 years to complete and was "embroidery" intense. I did change a few of the sayings on the bottom of each panel and also finish with an attic window design instead of basic sashing, etc. I like the window pane framing which accents each block. Lots of fun to do and a great project to take with you on trips, etc. 
In October my daughter walked her first Marathon---26.2 miles! Amazing!!! But to add to the excitement she and our 18 month old grandson were getting on a plane and flying across country to NYC the next day to visit with Uncle Geoff (our son). Since they had to travel lightly, I created this little "travel chalkboard". It is approximately 8" X 11", so it fit nicely in their carry-on luggage. Wishing them a great flight, a fun visit, and a safe trip back home. 
A special quilt for my golfing husband. He only had to wait 37 years for this quilt. I wanted to make sure the marriage would last, as you know a lot of work goes into making a quilt!
