P.S. I received a very nice, thank you note from

Gavins mother, they really loved the quilt, and

said they would treasure it forever.

Update on the quilt

I have now added 5 of their family photos to the quilt, they look really good, should be done real soon!

Trash Truck Quilt

Here is a project, yet unfinished, I call it the Trash Truck Quilt. A friend of mine, told me about this little boy who has cancer, but loves trash trucks, she wanted me to search on his moms blog and find a picture of him, and somehow put him in a picture with a trash truck. Sounded like a good cause for me. But little did I know when I was searching the blog, I got very interested in this little boys story.

He's had cancer for about a year, and his mom blogs about his treatments and their ups and downs, through it all, this little boy just seems amazing, and he does love those trucks! So I thought along with the picture I done for my friend, I would collect more trash trucks from the web, and make them into a quilt for him. Its coming along well, I hope to be done within a couple weeks. Gavin, this is for you. God Bless.

Here is the picture I created when my friend asked me to do this.

Kids

Went to Woodward park today, with my friend Chris and her daugher Amber and children. I had noticed the tulips were in bloom earlier in the week, and knew it was prime time for colorful pictures! My favorite however is one that I turned black and white, with a touch of color. It was actually sprinkling some, then got harder, but we managed to get lots of good shots. Here is my favorite of the day.

Teenagers

Here is a couple of pictures that I have been working on for my friend Carol, and her daugher and her daughters friend Felicia. They really like having their pictures taken. They were going to a dance in February, so me and Carol went out to take some fashion shots of them. Of course I had to put them on a magazine cover, they both wanted Seventeen, so here it is. They really like them. Let see if I can put 2 pictures up and make it look ok.

Not much sewing going on recently

Nothing worth putting a picture up for that is. I did a small repair on a friends coat lining. And I've done 3 of those baby towel things, where you use a towel and washcloth, and sew them together and make a little towel with a hoodie. They are very easy and so useful. Just havent felt like sewing lately I guess. I do have lots of projects in mind. I have a blouse I want to copy, and another pattern from Lois Cutting that I received that looks really easy. But sometimes, I just dont get around to doing much. Some of the Sewing Club girls really get a lot done from week to week, these people have jobs just like me, but seem to get more done. I do like television a lot, there are lots of shows that I like to keep up with. Maybe when the reruns start coming on this summer, I can get more done. Oh and I do have about 8 more dammitt dolls started, just not finished. And a girl at work went to find out what her baby is going to be today, so that will be another project I might start soon, her baby is due July 4th.
