Photo Memory Quilt

Last summer I got the bright idea to make Photo Memory Quilts for my family members. It took from June until December to teach myself how to copy photos onto fabric and how to machine quilt. Once I completed the quilts, six total, I was hooked on quilting! My sister-in-law asked me to make a Photo Memory Quilt for her. She e-mailed me several photos and I have been working on her quilt lately. She wanted a quilt with lots of colors that would go perfect in a boys room.
I added several machine appliques to the front. I used a car, a rocket, a pick-up, a dump truck, a sail boat, a train and a helicopter; all the things boy just love.
I have just about completed the quilt top, all I lack is adding a few words like "honk, beep, blast off and so on. It's going to be so perfect for a boy's room!

The Kids

My son, Jonathan, is a Senior this year and getting ready for college. He is the family musician. At the age of 9 we began him in a small home school band playing clarinet. He took to music so well that we soon added two other instruments, piano and classical guitar.

Jonathan played clarinet with our local youth symphony for about 5 years and currently plays in the orchestra at church.

Jonathan's major in college will be mathematics.

Other interests are;

Computers, Paintball, Battlestar Galactica and 24.

My daughter, Elizabeth, is in kindergarten. She has just learned to read and is a natural "Book Worm". Elizabeth loves to dance and has been in ballet for a year and a half. She has an interest in music, just like brother, and wants to learn violin.

Other interests are; sewing, cooking, playing with baby dolls and animals.

Who I am

I am a stay at home mom of two. We live on my husband's family farm in Texas. We run a home business dealing in trampolines and we home school our kids. Having my kids with me all the time is wonderful, being a mom is who I am.
