Here's my pictures of Annie Unrein's patterns I purchased and made projects....

Dean's changing pad

My crochet bag with lots of compartments and needle holding pockets.  This was a lot of fun to sew.

 One is able to remove the center zippered pockets if needed when working on a project!  I started filling my bag.

Talking about personal milestones....

I took a sewing class with my favorite person....Annie Unrein!  I love her patterns and have been making her pattern line for a few years now.  My projects finish so professionally!  Our local quilt shop advertised Annie coming to teach.  I signed up and also attended her trunk show.  This was so much fun and challenging.  I love how my bag come out and plan to make more.  I also bought more patterns which I've made up two more projects.  Here are my pictures...

 Here's my travel bag.  This reminds me of "Starry night"  Vincent VanGogh.

 Inside the bag with pockets made of mesh ....

It's been awhile since I last logged in and some very important milestones in our family have occurred.
The first and foremost....Dean Charles Kemp....our newest addition to the Jamison clan.  I don't have pictures yet, but we have gone down to visit him along with his older brothers, our daughter, and our  son in-law.  Dean is growing so quick and is beginning to smile.  I laughed at how no one left him to cry a bit.  As soon as he whimpered, the boys were right there to pick him up and console him or change him or just to hold him.  It was great to watch the loving interactions.

I started a quilt for Dean.  It has the Star Wars theme throughout.  I am quilting this on my Sweet Sixteen machine and having fun filling in lots of pebbles.  I plan to finish before the start of summer, but who knows.  I've been quite busy with working at school and come home so tired.  Getting up at 5 am and out the door is tiring and then dealing with high school kids.  This last month before the end of the school year will be enough...students are already shutting down and not working at full capacity.  This is what confuses me with this generation of kids.  It is June yet?

It's almost time for the new year to begin and I finished my blocks for the new mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter, En Provence!  I didn't think I would catch up, but I buckled down and got busy.  Of course, I put aside my other project, Leah Day's Block of the Month for 2016.  I have been busy with school and teaching, but I did it!

Here's a picture of all of my blocks.  Now, it's time to wait for the reveal.

I jumped between my treadle and my Singer 401a to sew up the blocks.  I have my grandmother's Pfaff 30 treadle machine, circa 1950's and sewed about half of the clues using it.  It sews great and I just love the soft ticky tack noise as she sews my pieces.
Now, it's back to working on quilting my blocks to finish the 2016 block of the month with Leah Day.  This is sure a fun project, but it is time consuming since I free-motion rather slowly.  I did have to rip out some of the quilting on block 6 because I didn't like how it looked after I finished.  I am redoing that block.  

I missed Quiltcam this past Sunday and I was sewing!  That's okay, I watched the archived video tonight as I worked on part 4 of the En Provence mystery quilt.
I am working on putting together a 'mountain majesties' quilt for a Christmas gift for my brother. This pattern can be found on the free pattern tab on the Quiltville blog.  It sews up quick.  I have it under my "Sweet Sixteen" machine and am meandering as my quilt stitch.

I love the fabrics...

I finished it just in time to take back to New Mexico.  I gave it to my brother as his gift and he loved it.  I pointed out the many mountains of which were made of potato fabric, pueblo turtle designs, Navajo jewelry, encouraging words for the veterans, chili fabric, grey mountains and so many rows to name a few.  I am so glad I finished it.

I am slowly making progress with this mystery...En Provence.
I am using my Singer 401a and am enjoying the process.  I have most of my pieces finished.

En Provence, part 4 link up

I don't know what happened to my link up through Bonnie's website, but she had to drop my picture....aahhh.  It's funny, but the link above my picture works!  Go figure when it comes to computer glitches.  

During my Thanksgiving break, I sat down and free motioned a design using a template to create two table runners.  I love the red ristras; these remind me of New Mexico and the smell of roasting green chili.
