Quilting with a SERGER

Oh My!!!! I had the opportunity to attend this great class at a local quilt shop on Quilting with your serger. At first I thought, hummmmmm this should be interesting, I have never made anything on my serger, I should learn how to do this, so I signed up. WHAT A GREAT DECISION THAT WAS!!!!


In this class we made a Drunkards Trail Wall hanging. All of the fancy stitches on the yellow fabric were created with a serger ( not my basic Singer, but a $2,700 Babylock) They had me drooling over a new machine at first, but I held strong. All the piecing was done on my personal serger though. I even learned a new way to attach my binding....to the back of the quilt. I have never tried to put on a binding that way, have you?

Happily Married

I just celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary!!!!

I am so excited and proud to be able to share this news with all that visit my blog, simply because I know that I am blessed. There are people that were married around the same time that we were, but they didn't make it, in fact I didn't think I was gonna make it!!!

To celebrate, we went to Miami, Fl. and had a blast!!! we splerged a bit on our room and stayed at the fabulous Mayfair Hotel in Coconut Grove. It was so nice,I didn't even have to leave the property. I pampered myself at their spa and relaxed in our private hot tub!!!! what a way to celebrate!!!!

I want to thank all of those that prayed for me and my marriage because I know I wouldn't have made it without the grace of God!!!

I have pictures that I will post soon.

I PASSED MY TEST!!!!

I am so excited to share with everyone that I passed my comprehensive exams for graduate school. This test was a week long and ended up being 25 pages long!!! I was worried at first, but then I realized that I believe in a God that can do all things!!!

This test was not only about grad school, but it was also about my faith in God and letting him do what he can do. I am so happy that I can now move on with earning my Doctorate.
