This is the quilt I made for Susan. I know she likes chocolate a lot, and this quilt is called Buttermilk Double Layer Chocolate Cake or something like that. It wasn't hard to make except when putting the columns together. I had to line them up so they matched going across. That was interesting, but I think it finally turned out nice. I hope she will be able to enjoy it for years to come.





I found out why I don't do this very often! It takes forever to load a picture and even foreverer to load more that one picture! At the top, the stairs uncarpeted. Below, the stuff from the bedrooms in the family room so that the bedrooms could be carpeted first. Then we had to move all this "stuff" which is not all showing, into the bedrooms so that the family room could be carpeted. Then next pictures show the results.





this is the girl's room with the new carpet installed.









The top picture you should recognize as the boys room, the second is of the family room (note the large mirror hanging on the wall that used to be downstairs in the "cold room"!) and the next is the trimmed stairwell.







This is a picture of the new desk in the family room upstairs. Functional! The books on the upper shelf are all family history stuff...The chairs are a part of David's dining room set! We'll give them up when he wants them!
