The tax man has taken over my life. I'm a book keeper by day (mostly night) for a small business. It's time to catch up on everything. It's not fun but must be done. Here are some pictures that I took to pass the time during this maddening time.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome to the Dare to Dresden blog hop!!! Special thanks to Madam Samm at <a href="http://www.sewwequilt.com/">Sew we Quilt</a> and Christine at <a href="http://www.quiltmonstercloset.com/">Quilt Monster in my Closet</a> for hostessing and cheerleading!!! Now for my project:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEGEMbOfN0oLUW0poDMqgUxdRyYS06oxqNEHrDncCMuL9XGFTQh7XBqfPZ1zINJQ4ZKLNS68_-vo4Pq4oaLAofPhKwa-d0V_mxmFbxCWfmksxHSBhMwrKD_4KCVzV-AEGb0Y5NcseNNcX1/s1600/blitzen1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEGEMbOfN0oLUW0poDMqgUxdRyYS06oxqNEHrDncCMuL9XGFTQh7XBqfPZ1zINJQ4ZKLNS68_-vo4Pq4oaLAofPhKwa-d0V_mxmFbxCWfmksxHSBhMwrKD_4KCVzV-AEGb0Y5NcseNNcX1/s320/blitzen1.JPG" width="218" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to admit that I had something completely different in mind when I started this project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to make a snowflake table runner with dresden pieces. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It didn't work out the way I had hoped.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcMYq292_vm42LSPcPJWDMFRbzUOw0XP6jiNj6_W6wek1LudNPgWednhOUdgMaoGnSBteZAlWJ9BxDycnd2iE2A_wbLt3fMeOQq6FZzOABXtFfcjVX7B9PtPuBCe5Q6j-kotyAX2PhReg/s1600/blitzen2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcMYq292_vm42LSPcPJWDMFRbzUOw0XP6jiNj6_W6wek1LudNPgWednhOUdgMaoGnSBteZAlWJ9BxDycnd2iE2A_wbLt3fMeOQq6FZzOABXtFfcjVX7B9PtPuBCe5Q6j-kotyAX2PhReg/s320/blitzen2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However I love the finished project!!! Very simple. Those dresden pieces are charm squares. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yep, 5 inch dresden pieces. 20 a complete plate times 3 equals 60 pieces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Divided by 2 (two pieces per charm square) equals 30 charm squares. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The background squares are 14 x 14 inches. Bind and quilt as you please. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

See the "M" on her shirt? Soooo cute, right? My friend <a href="http://ttbowtique.blogspot.com/">Tina</a> made if for her. This weekend she and her family weigh heavy on my heart. Her father passed away two days ago and our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family during this time.</div>

These three munchkins have been keeping me busy. This picture was taken in August when my little girl was born. Now she looks like this:</div>

Pardon the pics - it was early and I'm 8 weeks preggo and I didn't put as much effort as I normally do into my picture taking. This is the whole quilt - it's not to big and not too small. Just right for my porch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm putting Halloween blocks together now - I will post pics soon, stay cool everyone!!!</div>

It doesn't seem like it's been since NOVEMBER that I blogged. But there is proof and it's true. Many things have happened since November. On a sad note, my father in law passed away New Years Day from a long sickness. On a good note, Mike and I told him that we were expecting our 3rd baby. He was absolutely thrilled!!! Melissa Lynn will be here on August 7th, 2012. Wow!!! That's 8 weeks away!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got the quilting bug again. I'm trying to utilize it because after the baby arrives, I will be quite <strike>tired</strike> busy for a few months. My daughter moved into her big brother's room and I made the above quilt for her new "big girl bed". The pattern is "Off Track" by <a href="http://cluckclucksew.bigcartel.com/product/pdf-pattern-off-track">Cluck Cluck Sew</a> and the fabric is <a href="http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_ruby.pdf">Ruby by Bonnie & Camille</a> for Moda. This pattern was SO easy and I love the way it turned out. The jelly rolls had green in them but I left them out because my son's bed is a Spiderman theme and I wanted to keep the colors similar.</div>

My next projects are for Halloween. We will be planting our pumpkins next week and I'd like to see if I can sell some Halloween quilts at our pumpkin patch this year. Yeah!!! However, I really need to get it all done before the new baby is here or it will be waiting until next year.</div>

Our pumpkin patch was a success, even though we didn't open this year. We donated several pumpkins to schools and churches and we sold bulk pumpkins by the truck load. We also sold pumpkins off a wagon by the side of the road. I was pleased with the turn out and I'm already making plans for next year. My house is almost cleaned - why is it easier for me to quilt when the house is clean?

No pattern, I just had an idea in my head and ran with it.

I've had the fabric for so long that I don't remember the designer. This quilt belongs to my 8 year old niece, I gave her the fabric and she designed it. For her birthday I showed her how to sew it together. I'm quilting it with daisies - cute, right?<br />Oh Dottie, is there anything you can't do?<br />~Steph~<br /></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><br /></p><br /><br /><p></p>Pink Ribbon Quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991981769297003346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832679027511585097.post-40054380825277422352011-08-12T15:12:00.000-07:002011-09-12T05:45:24.933-07:00Introductions Part 2<div align="center">This is Momo.

I love this picutre, it was taken in Hilton Head in 2010 - she is such a ham, can't you tell? I hope that Nana Mo and I will inspire her to carry on the quilting tradition (fingers crossed).<br /><br />About ME. I live in Ohio with my wonderful husband and our two children. I'm a stay at home Mama to a 3 year old (A.J.) and my 1 yr. old (Isabella). We live on a five acre farm and this is going to be our first year planting a pumpkin patch - we're going to be pumpkin farmers!!! This was my crazy idea because I love pumpkin patches and I've always wanted one. This year we will not be open to the public, we're just going to learn how to grow them and set up a wagon selling pumpkins in our little town.<br /><br />I started quilting in 2002. Nana Mo showed me some quilting projects that she had made and I fell in love with her new hobby. I asked her to teach me to make a quilt for a good friend of mine (for her wedding) and I've never stopped quilting. My stash is out of control, my projects are scattered all over the house, and my head is brimming with ideas. That's normal, right?<br /><br />Nana Mo and I have decided to start making some patterns and we really want a long arm quilting machine. We're currently on the hunt for the PERFECT machine. We don't know if we'll make $$$, but we know the journey will FUN! Portions of our proceeds are going to go to our passion - The 3 Day.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.the3day.org/">www.the3day.org</a> is a 60 mile walk in 3 days for Breast Cancer Research. Nana Mo is training for her 3rd walk right now!! I'm not able to walk this year because I have a 3yr old and a 1yr old and my husband works crazy hours, so I'm going to wait another year or two.<br /><br />Well, it's Saturday and I'm going to my local quilt shop today, the <a href="http://www.ppqs.net/">Paw Patch </a>in Mount Vernon to pick up an embroidery assignment. I own a Janome embroidery machine and love to machine applique quilts from time to time. This particular project was my idea and design - I can't wait to start working on it!!! Stay tuned for pictures as I create this project....<br /><br />Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and I'm going to take pictures of my oldest quilt that my great grandmother made and post them here. Have a wonderful day!!! ~StephPink Ribbon Quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991981769297003346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832679027511585097.post-53876388583846088352011-03-30T15:26:00.000-07:002011-03-30T15:29:26.316-07:00Hello World!Testing... testing...
