HC Minis - new pics pg 172

[chandab]

Oh, and just so you know Kim, I rarely make quilts bigger than lap size 50x70" or so, as I can't fit them through my home machine and don't have a hundred dollars or more to have them sent out for quilting by someone with a bigger sewing machine.

 

[Kim P]

Okay. I took the pics off bc his room was so messy. Lol. I can still get you to do a special quilt for me though. I just got the news today that I have a new grand baby on the way! It will be a while before we find out what it is. Number 7. My youngest son said that by the time he gets married and has kids that we were going to be wore out! Lol

I might have a couple baby size quilts already done, depending on what you are looking for. I have some panel quilts, that about all I had to do was add the binding (really cute cowboy teddy bear panel, pink/brown hearts panel, blue star panel); but I also have at least one baby size piece quilt. And, depending on what you are looking for, I could probably make one up from scratch.

Here's a cute panel quilt I did, I think I still have it, and it's fairly neutral whether girl or boy, probably a little more boyish. There were cute puppy panels that I added blocks and such to to make a slightly bigger quilt than just the panel in one piece (I cut it apart and rearranged the panels).



It wasn't finished at the time of the picture, but it is now.

Here are the two small horse quilts I made, I still have one of them, but I'm not sure which one, I think it's the one with the two-tone sashing, but not certain. One of my favorites I ever made.

Now complete, and I'm pretty sure this one already found a home.

Pretty sure this is the one I still have here at the house, but will have to look and confirm.

Thank you for the rave review, Diane.

 

[Kim P]

Well Diane her work looks great in pictures so I can hardly wait to see it in person. I am excited. I just love the little icons people are using. One day I am going to take time to learn all this cool stuff.

 

[chandab]

Kim when you start to type a blue bar shows up that has a bunch of icons on it, if you click on the smilie face icon, a whole list of smilies will pop up at the bottom of the typing window.

No I am on an iPad. My blue line just magnifies

 

[chandab]

Aw, I don't know about using iPad, I'm on a desktop most of the time. Use my Kindle some, but only look at certain things when I'm on it.

Nothing much since it's winter and I don't have current summer coat pictures, but I updated my website a little bit. Like Honey's page, added DOD to hers. Marked Junior sold, marked Manny gelded. Updated the mare page. Not much to look at right now, will try to update with current pictures this summer, if I can get any good ones. I have a new camera on order, so here's hoping, the current one has decided to quite working (no it's not a dead battery).

Link is in my signature, but here it is, just in case the signature doesn't click for some reason.

When I gave Bentley her quilt she was so happy. She saw all the hearts and she said "oh Mamaw, you got me a Valentines Day blanket!" As it is valentines, I proudly said "yes I did". I told her that a special lady made it for her. She was so excited. She wanted to go to bed after she got it. I did not get a pic of my youngest grandson with his. Those three had me running all weekend!

 

[chandab]

So sweet. Thank you for sharing. I love the print on these little pink (pink and brown hearts) and blue (blue stars) panels, so cute. I need to figure out how to sew like 4 of them together to make a bigger one; there is a white "cutting" line on the fabric every yard.

What a cute picture Kim - a very happy little girl!

I loved your website Chanda - so easy to scroll through and read (especially liked Chedders story)

 

[chandab]

Ah, thank you Anna. He was definitely a special boy, and lost too soon. I know he was 27 years and the rest of our time would be limited, but I thought I'd have a few more years, when I lost him.

 

[Kim P]

I went to your web site also. I enjoyed the story of Cheddar too. It is awesome you two were together so long. My dad got me a welsh pony I named Dapple Dan. He actually looked like Patty. I only had him for a few years. My parents decided to leave the farm and move to a saw mill town about 10 miles down the road. We had to get rid of all our animals. I also had a black angus bull "Bully" of course and my pig "Arnold".

 

[chandab]

Aw, thank you, Kim. Cheddar was the best horse, ever, and I miss him most every day. I still own two saddle horses, but they don't hold a candle to Cheddar.

Trying out my new camera, so here's a quilt in process. I picked up a couple fabric strip sets off a FB group and I'm working on this, got an interesting pattern since there were only 4 fabrics in sets.



And, a picture of George, really hard to get a good picture of a black cat, since they usually turn out as black silhouettes or black blobs, this one isn't too bad. I woke him from his nap.

 

[Kim P]

Looks like it is going to be a neat design. George looks like a black Garfield! Lol. I gave my 5 year old grandson Dawson his quilt today. He loved it. That quilt is a perfect fit for him. I think you had him in mind when you made it!

 

[chandab]

That one is nothing special, just a ready made store bought quilt, with 5 cats, I'm not about to put that much work into something for one of the cats to puke on, plus I don't make queen-size. I got it out of a Western catalog, I think it was probably Drysdales, but can't remember, now.

 

[chandab]

Kim, he looks so happy with his new quilt. So cute.
