Comment: June 2000 -- My husband went to serve in Albania/Kosovo back in 1999. He was deployed on April 19th and I did not have any idea how long he would be gone. So, to honor him, and to keep me sane, I decided to make him a wall hanging. Here is the nearly completed project. All that is missing--the date of return.
MilleniumQuilt3 * Here are the block designs I chose for my Millenium Quilt I have yet to finish. * Here are a few blocks from my Millenium Quilt. * 400 x 385 * (101KB)

momstablerunner * September 1999 -- My Secret Sister Swap in Germany brought 4 Blocks of the Month my way. I loved them so much! They were fun to do but, I only had 4. So, what could I do? I made my mother a table runner for her dinning room table. This is exceptionally long but it fits just fine. Her table is 108 and I think this is 120 long. So it hangs down a bit on both ends! It ended up being her Christmas present that year. * 275 x 611 * (28KB)

momstablerunner2 * Mom's Tablerunner on her table. I tried to make it so it dangled over the edge of the table a few inches or so. Well, I got it but I think it needed to be longer. I made it from a few BOMs I got from a secret sister while I was in Germany. I didn't have access to mom's table. But all in all, it still looks rather nice I think. I am proud! I am not really good at applique, but it came out rather nice anyway. :) * 500 x 375 * (77KB)

DishesRClean * 1999--While living in Germany the many little luxuries we take for granted in the states are not easily accessible here. I wanted to find a dishwasher magnet that said Dishes Are Clean on one side and Dishes are Dirty on the other. But, no, I could not find one for the life of me. So, I decided to make one. Here is the resulting product. * 400 x 380 * (35KB)

DishesRDirty * 400 x 377 * (36KB)

JoshuasBabyQuilt * 2003-- I began Joshua's Baby Quilt when I was 3 months pregnant. I had plenty of time to finish before he was due. Yeah, right! :) Joshua had other plans. He was 4 weeks early. We didn't even have any of the items we needed, let alone having his quilt finished. But now, Joshua is now 1 years old and I finally completed it. It took a while to be able to have the time to finish. It is the Hunter's Star Design. I really like the way it turned out. I just realized this was supposed to be the Hunters Star block pattern. But I put them together wrong. :/ * 500 x 375 * (44KB)

It took a while to be able to have the time to finish. It is the Hunter's Star Design. I used PigmaPens to write mom, dad and baby's name, date, time, and weight on the solid white squares. This was before we got our embroidery machine. * 500 x 375 * (47KB)
