Check out my grandma's new website at www.bluemoondesignstudio.net! She's been working hard on it.

While I was in Chelan, I got to pick an apple from an apple tree in the neighbor's apple orchard. Grandma washed and polished it for me and I had fun (and frustration) trying to bite it. My favorite apples were the green Golden Delicious, but grandma wouldn't let me eat them because she was afraid I'd get a tummy ache eating a green apple. But, I did get to taste the juice, which was very tasty!

This weekend I went to visit my Grandma Jo and Grandpa Richard in Chelan. I had a great time! I played in my swimming pool (because the weather in Chelan is still in the 80's), went to lunch (at Hungry Belly) and dinner (at Local Myth Pizza), visited with Auntie Carmen, played in the bathtub, and did my usual baby thing! Grandma had a GREAT time spending lots of time with me, but, who can blame her? I am just SO adorable!

Here's a really nice picture of my mom. As you can tell, it was taken when I was MUCH younger! When I was just a baby, as a matter of fact.

I just can't resist the South Pacific! I hope my Grandma will take me to a tropical island some day!

I decided to visit the Beatles this week. I had a great time!

Here is grandma's first pattern! Sun, Moon and Stars!. It measures 16 x 35" and is done with fusible web. It is based on a quilt she made for me! She knows I am very special!

Here, with much fanfare (ta-dah!) is grandma's second pattern. This is the first in her Somewhere Beyond the Sea series. This first one contains two patterns, Shelina Seahorse and Olivia Octopus. They each are 12" x 14" and are done using fusible web. Grandma knows I love tropical fish!

These quilts are constructed somewhat differently from other quilts in that they are completely quilted before the fusible applique is applied. Grandma has found that it is MUCH easier to do intricate quilting if you don't have to worry about going around small applique pieces. Of course, this would only work on smallish wall hangings - probably not so much on larger ones or bed quilts.
