Appalachian State University

This last Monday my family and I visited Appalachian State University.

 

Since most of the buildings were not opened...

we just walked around and got a feel for the campus.

 While Isaac played with some of the statues...

Nate was surprised and excited to see some snow,

since we haven't had any where we live.

 

 

I really enjoyed getting to see the campus...

(it is definitely on my list of possible colleges).

Quilting

After 3 1/4 months...

I finally finished my quilt for my Graduation Project.

I started out with this picture...

I didn't find an exact pattern for it so I just made it up as I went...

and ended up with this:

It's hand quilted...

the border has stripes...

 

and it has a ton of triangles in it. 

I guess I really did know what I was getting myself into with those three things..

but it turned out better then I could have imagined. 

 Also... a thank you to Lynn Easler, my mentor, and Debbie Beaver for helping me with this. 

It was so fun to work with them!

Now all I have to do is present my project tomorrow and I will be completely done.

Yay!

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year!

I hope that everyone has had a good 2012...

and has an even better 2013.

I just realized out of 365 days...

I only posted 31 times.

So, I'm going to make it a goal to post more often this year. 

(Starting with this post)

Have a nice night!
