So, my lack of blogging in the latter part of 2012 is embarrassing to say the least. I was busy though, I promise. I’d hate to think you guys thought I was just goofing off and being unproductive so I’ve gathered a few pics of some of the projects/fun things that we were up to.
Here we go… This is a commission quilt we made for a customer we met at Madison this year. Made for her granddaughter, Mimi. It’s a modified Sassafras. I tagged this one “I’m a Barbie girl”. It was so so very pink and girly!
This
Became a very popular one of these…
Did a lot of daydreaming about one of these…
All of those hexies I made became one of these…Is this the cutest place mat or what. Still workin’ on my 2nd one! This was a sample for when we were asked to vend at a local Modern Quilt Guild. We did a demo on hand and machine hexies.
We made a commissioned breast cancer throw for someone’s Christmas gift.
Started a spool quilt with Elsie’s Girl, Shelley, which we work on weekly. This is my progress so far…
I had some life changing decisions thrown…definition(Pushed or forced violently and suddenly into a particular state.) upon me. Which caused this…
And let’s just say this…you can’t hide from Karma peeps. At least I’m hoping anyway;) More on that subject at a later date.
Spent a total of 3 weeks over the last 2 months like this. Which probably was a result from all of the stress caused by the above…
Had a Christmas crafting party..
And we made these cute button trees…This one’s mine.
And this is Paige’s..
New fabrics arrived at the shop. We now have all of the Oval ELements in stock and this great new line from Blend called Gabbie. You can find it here…
Did some of this…
But then ate a lot of this..
We found a perfect cupcake stand for SewMod. So we ate even more of this deliciousness just to decorate the stand….
Paige and I went shopping and found these SewMod Christmas decorations in our colors…
That matched these trees! How could we possibly resist…It’s Christmas, SewMod Style!
Spent some time catching up with the nephews in OKC…
And finally made more progress on my December fun project, Rendezvous..
Whew, 2 months of blogging done! Here’s to a great 2013! We made a lot of progress this year and we couldn’t have done it without all of your support. We made wonderful friends and met so many people thru social media and our experiences at the quilt shows and local guilds. Thank you everyone! We are looking forward to another exciting year!

Lorrie, I enjoyed looking at the beautiful commissioned quilts. I know that you were under a lot of pressure to get them completed. As Jeanne said, your life looks pretty normal, I hope that this years bad times are few and you have a wonderful year with your business and your friends and family. You are a great inspiration to me and you finally have me making hexes in the New Year. I cut my first ones out last night and it was so much fun !!
