Alyssa's Pinwheels Quilt

This is a Stack-n-Whack quilt I made for my little girl this year. Well, I should say I started it last year and finished it this year. LOL. The the pinwheels were made from one fabric with rows, each pinwheel is different. The background fabrics were given to me as a birthday gift from Mary Lou Weidman. Thanks Mary Lou! The quilt sashing was machine quilted by my good friend Jerry Vliet and I hand quilted the pinwheels and lettering. I attached little yoyo's with buttons to the center of the A's in her name. My little girl just loves her quilt and that makes mommy very happy :-). She always makes sure she tells everyone "That's my quilt" or "That's Alyssa's quilt". LOL! To my family, Does anyone recognize the night gown she has on? Yes, that was mine when I was little. It always makes me smile when I see her in it. :-) Can you tell it's from the 70's LOL!

Little Cutie!

Thought I would show you a picture of the little cutie I made the baby quilt for. He is so precious and just loves me! LOL.

My Children started school on Tuesday and will be going to their new classes tomorrow. Why so late you ask? Turns out there were over 30 new students show up the first and second day of school and the teachers did not want to place the children in a class and have to change them to accommodate new students like the big fiasco we had a couple of years ago, when they switched my children's classes and teachers 3 times. Absolute chaos! We can thank our wonderful school board for that! They did not want to give our school a full time teacher when we really needed one. Anyway, enough of that. It has been a sunny hot beautiful day today. A great day for hanging laundry out on the line, of which I did a lot of. It's the green way to go! plus, it keeps the house cooler, keeps the utility bill small, keeps the colors bright and keeps the clothes smelling fresh! LOL. Not sure if I can think of anymore keeps right now. LOL!

Hit By A Moose

A couple of weeks ago we (husband, children and I) were driving home at 9:30 at night after a long day at our business, we had just passed the turn off to the ski hill and were coming out of a turn when this huge moose bolted out of the woods and ran right into our truck. I screamed and my husband hit the brakes. We figured it was being chased by a cougar the way it just bolted out of the woods. It was very terrifying. My daughter Breana was screaming and crying, my son Ethan had just started to doze off and sat up trying to figure out what was going on and my 2 year old Alyssa woke up out of a dead sleep screaming. The moose turned her head quickly, if she had not it would have gone through the windshield. We were very lucky that we were in a truck and it was a cow so did not have antlers or we could have been seriously hurt. We are all fine. We are waiting for parts to come in so our truck can be fixed. I could not even open my door. I thank God everyday for keeping us safe.

Ecstatic Over Plane reUpholstery

Just thought I would share this picture. An older German couple had my husband redo their plane interior. I will tell you about my husband after this spill. :-) They were so ecstatic over how everything turned out that they took a picture of my husband next to the seats and sent pictures they took after they put the parts back in. They have told there friends in another province and they are supposed to be flying here to get their seats done. Can you imagine, customers flying thousands of miles to have their seats redone. My husband definitely exceeded there expectations. He's sooooooooo good! LOL. You won't believe now all the plane interiors that have come in, in the last few weeks because people have seen the German couples seats.

About my husband Steve, he is a 3rd generation Upholsterer and has been doing upholstery for 18 years. We are part owners in an upholstery business with my in-laws. There have been other upholstery shops in the area, but non have lasted because of my father-in-law Jim and my husbands excellent reputation and work. They redesign furniture upholster custom made furniture and reupholster everything from antiques to boats, cars, planes, motorcycles and more. My husband has built furniture and really enjoys it. A couple of years ago he upholstered a chair that a student from Selkirk collage built, and he helped her design the arm of the chair. She along with other students took furniture to the big home show in Toronto and she was the only one to get her chair pictured in the Vancouver Sun. Hmmm, I wonder why? LOL. Kootenay School of the Arts approached my husband about teaching an upholstery course, so he did that on the side for 3 school years . The shop has been awarded gold certificate awards every year from our local newspaper and the Kootenay Business magazine. O.K., O.K. I know I am bragging but give me some leeway! I am a proud wife! :-)

Happy 4th of July!

Fastest Quilt I Have Ever Made

This is the fastest quilt I have ever made. It took me 2 1/2 weeks from start to finish. Wow! I am still shocked. LOL. I made this quilt for my best friends new little bundle of joy Oakley Anderson. The border is machine quilted and the center pictures are hand quilted. I figured machine quilting the border would speed up the process, so Oakley could enjoy it while he is still little. LOL. The wind was blowing when I took this picture so the bottom is looking a little narrower then the top. I think I may have to get the quilt back from her and take a better picture. LOL.

Soccer

Just 3 more games then we will have a break for the summer and start back up in the fall. Here are a couple of pictures of my son Ethan that were published in a local newspaper. At one of the games a soccer dad handed me the newspaper to look at, I was shocked when I saw the pictures. I just had to go out and get a whole wack of newspapers after the game. LOL.
