I tried to upload the pictures in chronological order in which they were made, but that didn't work, so we've got pretty much reverse chron order.
These are Kyle's pillowcases. He'll need new ones for his big-boy pillow now.I found this Tall Ships panel at a quilt show in Massachusetts. Perfect for Brady's room which is red and taupe (Kim refused to repaint). Once I started machine-quilting, I couldn't stop. If you click on the pictures, you may be able to see the details.

Kyle's Space Quilt
I took Kyle to the local quilt shop (what a great shop!) and he loved the planets and the multi-colored stripe. The owner let us in even though she was not yet open for business.

The focus fabric is from the Bryce & Madeline line from Free Spirit. All the grandkids have a quilt made with this fabric (and very special friends). I have just enough for whenever my son Kevin has his first child. Not soon.

I forgot to take a picture of the one quilt I actually had time to make in California so that will come a bit later. Perhaps Kim will put it up herself.

Wine was my beverage of choice... all such wonderful quilts. I especially love the cows - so fun!
Kim is still into cows. I had given her a great napkin holder years ago, but I think it finally bit the dust.
FYI, there are still 2 more CA quilts I forgot about, so hopefully, that side of the country will be done soon...
