Quilt Block Clocks

Easter is just around the corner, can you believe it? I stitched up this fun postcard using foundation paper piecing. He turned out so cute! I am offering this in my newsletter as a FREEBIE. If you want one, sign my guestbook and you will be sure to get our newsletter and if you want the FREE BOM delivered to your inbox, just indicate you want to sign up when you sign the guest book. I always try to have something to give out in my newsletter. It's always a surprise, even to me!! LOL!!

I have been working on some new projects. These are what I call Quilt Block Clocks. These are turning out so fun! I have a few more up my sleeve that I am working on as well. You can find them on my Clock page.

I was able to visit some fun Quilt shops in Las Vegas while we were there. One of them was the Fabric Boutique. Lots of very fun and unique things there! Nice people, too. I could not believe all the samples hung everwhere! Very helpful and friendly folks!

Then I stopped by the Christmas Goose. What a nice little shop with a ton of fabric and beautiful examples everywhere as well! Very helpful and friendly people here, too!

Then it was on to Nancy's Quilt Shop. There I found beautiful fabrics and yarns. They had a lot of new and fresh ideas as well.

Wish I could have spent a few more days at the other shops there. It was lots of fun. The best part was my husband helped me find them all and insisted that I go shop and have fun! What a LOVE!!

Time to come back to reality and get dinner on the stove! :o(

Home at last

Singing along with Stevie Wonder. Holy cow, can he sing!

Roger is safe in the catcher's box. Babe Ruth will hit it out of the field!

Ummm.... pointers for Tiger Woods? I don't think so! ..... and coming from a Caddie!!

Roger and Bette Midler. She looks like she kind of likes him....

Ben Aflack and me at the poker table... Wish he played as good as he looks! Didn't win a whole lot on that hand!

Lucy is just about to take that wooden spoon to the side of Roger's head! I think she said, "No TASTING!"

Okay, we had a lot of fun in Vegas! It is good to be home, though. We could'nt stand too much more fun. We have to clear our heads from all the tabacco smoke!

Viva Las Vegas

We have been here in LV since Sunday. What can I say about LV? Well, my niece and her family live here, it is a TON warmer than IDAHO! It is a big mass of hussle, bussle, especially on the strip. We are staying at the Monte Carlo. I have to keep looking for all the smoke damage. When we walked in the front door, it smelled like a funeral home! They have really deoderized the place. I would sure hate to be the contracting company who started the fire! OUCH!! Some lady told us that the guy who started the fire is banned from setting foot on the Monte Carlo premises. Don't know how true that is, but ya know....

We have seen Lance Burton's magic show. We are going to the wax museum today to get some fun pictures. We have eaten absolutely TOO MUCH!! How can you not with all the buffets? We have done our usual timeshare travels. Thanks to them, we have eaten and seen shows for free and have a hundred dollars in our pocket. Who says you can't make money in Vegas?? LOL!!

We are going to see Nathan Burton tonight also. He won on America's got talent. There is also the guy that does the puppet ventriloquist thing, but don't know if we will see him or not.

I have been doing a little quilt shop hopping. I will get the name of the one that I really liked later.. (my memory is failing me) :o) Anywho, got some great ideas!

It has been fun to get away and have some together time!

Until later....
