AQS Lancaster Quilt Show Trip

Lunch with my fellow co-workers while at AQS Lancaster PA
Last week me and some of the girls I teach quilting to all took a field trip to the AQS Lancaster Quilt Show.  We had a great time.  We even had a little guy tag along at only 8 weeks old!  This is his third quilting adventure since he came to this show and two quilting classes.  We enjoyed showing each other our finds and left with lots of great ideas.  

I had entered a quilt into the contest but it didn't make it into the show.  I was disappointed but once I saw the quilts that made it into the show I saw why, they are amazing.  I worked 3 solid months on the quilt I entered but the ones we saw looked like they were worked on for years.  Below is a picture of the quilt I entered.  Maybe one day it will win an award but then I would have to get it back from our daughter!  I don't think that will happen easily because she loves it.

Ravens Win SUPER BOWL 2013 - XLVII

Some of the NICU nurses and respiratory therapists
 showing off their Ravens purple pride.  

Of course I had to work!  I am a NICU RN at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and that's me on the far left with some of my co-workers.  There purple staff members had high hopes that the RAVENS would win while taking care of the smallest Ravens Fans in Baltimore.  We were quite excited to hear the news and celebrate with each other.  



High from the 8th floor, the NICU staff celebrated and watched out the window to see grid lock in the Baltimore streets.  Cars were not moving, we could hear horns honking from high on the 8th floor.  You could see the helicopters by the Inner Harbor.  Local news showed crowds and crowds of people in the streets celebrating.  We were all glad we were here and not having to deal with the traffic.  There were a lot of happy Baltimore Fans headed into the city still at 2 am and the Baltimore City Police had to shut down major highways leading into the city to keep out more fans entering into what was already considered grid lock.  We however were safe and sound, enjoying good eats.  

Go Ravens!!!

A Friend Retires!

I am top center and my friend Kathy who retired is on my right.
(my arm is on her shoulder)

I have had the pleasure to work 26 years along side my dear friend Kathy.  She started just after me at Johns Hopkins and we have worked together for the entire time.  This week we celebrated her retirement from Johns Hopkins as a Registered Nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.  I hope she has an awesome retirement filled with fun things to do.  She is a very crafty lady so I am sure she will find something fun to work on.  Here's to you Kathy!  Congrats from all of us~ Me, Sharon, Diane, Trish, Dawn, Andrea and Kathy R.

New Serger!

This is my new toy!

Funny how things that mean so little to others means so much to me!
This is one nice engine, I can't wait to find things to use it for.
Any suggestions?

Men's Tee Shirt Quilt

Men's Tee Shirt Quilt
40 " x 65"
I was asked by a friend to make a tee shirt quilt for her to give her husband for Christmas and this was the result.  I had some challenges, as there were 20 tee shirts that she provided me to pick from, each one important....his college, favorite football team, his trips, favorite bar, hiking trips and many more.  I believe these kind of quilts are the least attractive and difficult to become creative with!  I think I did a pretty good job!  For the first time ever, I decided to try the "piece as you go" quilting method.  This was more difficult than I anticipated but it finally got done just in time!  Hope her hubby loves it!

Time with Family - THANKFUL

my boys and our dog....
Jimmy,  Matthew and Paul and our 5 year old Golden named Dale
Me and the boys, Thanksgiving 2012
Hi all,  been under the weather since working the weekend and the holiday so this is my first time to post since Thanksgiving Day.  I wanted to share some pics of our day.  Having my two older sons home from college was nice and short.  Now they are gone again.  It went too fast.  Our youngest is a senior in college so soon I will be empty nest.  Luckily I have a great hubby who will keep me company.  I hope everyone has a great holiday!  Here's a toast to all and a prayer for those who might need one.    Thanks for looking.....Stephanie
