Ok, I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T7. No where can I find in the book what the shutter speed is, but I know I want one with a faster shutter speed. So in the search I found a Sanyo VPC-T700 at Wal-Mart that says its shutter speed is 0.0001. Now that should be fast and it is a 7 mega pixal camera so, we bought it and brought it home only to find out they gave us a returned one. (the person that had it before left pictures on it!) So I am taking it back. But when you start reading in the book it says 1/2 to 1/2000 of a second shutter speed. I guess you can set the shutter speed? Good grief I just one one I can point and shoot and the shutter speed is always fast! lol
Nancy found a new Sony Cyber-shot at Best Buy that takes the picture when you SMILE. Now this would seem a good thing, but how does it know when the person is smiling? lol I will be checking it out this week. So I am still searching.

This was my first attempt at applique embroidery. I used the Hatched in Africa, Cuddlesome Critters Applique, Set 1 I was just practicing so I used old jeans and when I got done I liked them so well I wanted to make something out of it. So I made this wall hanging.

See what making an apron will get you? A new kitchen helper. The question is will she clean up after she makes a mess or will I?

If you are looking for french cotton lace for heirloom sewing at a decent price, here is a place I found and have actually ordered from. The first time I encountered this company was at the Nashville AQS. (American Quilter’s Society) Their price was better than any price I could get here in the US and they were easy to work with. Just email them for a price list and shipping is included in the price. You can even pay with PayPal. Fine French Lace I bought all the lace I needed to make this Christening Gown by Martha Pullen. No I have not started this but I have all I need to do it with. 🙂

This was a quilt I made for my brother he loves everything red, white and blue, patriotic. So I collected fabric for awhile and then made this for him. It is made from the “Turning Twenty Quilt Pattern”. The quilting was done at Betsy’s Quilting Barn. Pretty wild, right? But he loves it and that is all that counts.
