Twister quilt and etc.

The easiest quilt pattern I have ever made and it looks real difficult. The lady at the quilt shop talked me into trying it. She claimed it was easy. I really didn't believe her. So this is my little sample I made before I cut up all the material for Melissa's black and white quilt. To my surprise, I could do it and it was real real easy. I plan on making more using this pattern only different sizes. This one is going to be used for top of my table. I needed a bag to put my bobbin lace pillow in. So I made this bag. The same pattern on both sides just different colors and a big pocket inside. I made several little draw string bags out of the scraps. To use for what ever.
I am having a ball making quilts. What a fun talent I just found.

Bobbin Lace

Some of my recent bobbin lace projects.


My floppy little angel. She was just floppy then I added wire to her wings and etc. I love the way she turned out. A butterfly pin with a mini bobbin as the body.


I What fun they were making.

Fishy fishy

I caught this fish. When we were in Mexico last week. I think it's a perch. Not bad looking either. Dennis wanted some fresh fish so I did my best to get him one. No, I didn't buy it from the fishmen either. I really did catch it. Yummmmmm-mmmm, he was good. I didn't use hooks either. Who would want a hook stuck in their mouths after just trying to get something to eat. Then being drug by a line into a boat or up a sandy beach.




He was caught, by the out going tide in just 2-5 inches of water. So I just scooped him up in my shelling bag. I really saved him from being pecked to death by a sea gulf.
