are it probably was the first word you learned to write we label what s ours it distinguishes us from others it gives us a sense of individuality when i was growing up i wasn t very fond of my name it was so different from the popular names of the time i was always put in the boys pe class year after year it was a small high school and jr high school where everyone knew everyone i recieved notices from the different branches of military services to enlist rather than be drafted into the army during vietnam and i still recieve lots of mail addressed to mr kyle ed has gotten odd and knowing looks when he has ordered roses for me and included a loving sentiment at quilt shows if i have entered a quilt i ll always hear the comment look this one was done by a man i was asked to enter a quilt in a special show by the quilt museum in golden for men only they had sent me an invitation based on someone s recommendation ha ha ha i do think i look rather feminine occassionally i have heard of another female with the name kyle there s a local new anchor with the name a real housewife of beverly hills and i just found a whole facebook page of female kyle s who knew i do like my name it s unique most people remember it and when i hear someone call my name in the grocery store it s usually to curb some bratty little boy my parents named me after a singer kyle macdonnell she was on early television i could never find any information on her my friend lisa found a video of her singing it was like an instant connection unfortunately when i went back to look at it today it s been removed

some time auditioning fabric for my newest project choosing fabric from my stash and seeing how it might work in a project is always a challenge then you need to see how it will work with the other fabrics you have to see if it s a team player sometimes you just don t know until you begin to work with a particular color or pattern what it will do kind of sounds like people doesn t it one of my

january quilts january is a good month to enjoy quilts especially here in colorado everyone needs one or two to snuggle under to stay toasty warm on those cold january nights here are a few of my favorites snowed in 2003 a kansas troubles quilters pattern i love using only two colors in a pattern each block had 17 buttons to sew on that s 153 buttons i had to buy a large jar of mother of pearl buttons off of ebay to have enough i m glad i had the label on the back to remind me of the story of this quilt wear warm clothes 1995 this pattern is from country threads it is one of my favorites i taught it several times as a class and it was fun to see how everyone had fun with this collage type quilt i especially like the red long johns my label is directly behind that part of the quilt if you get my drift flap door label winter wonderland 1990 this pattern snowbound is from red wagon it really was the first pattern i used that pushed me into the folk art style plaids and stripes were just making there way into the quilting scene roberta horton introduced us to the concept of casually off grain i was hooked maybe because there are many times i do feel casually off grain the quilt is done with hand applique and hand quilted always glad i ve added a label merry christmas 2008 the pattern is in kim diehl s book simple seasons even though i titled this quilt merry christmas the snowmen seem more appropriate for january i made this for the stashbuster s class i teach i used lots of different and favorite fabrics but didn t use up much oh well i machined appliqued these pieces and used white wool for the snowmen they re just so cute i machine quilted it the backing fabric was in my stash and was perfect combo with the top we ve had several days of below zero temps the
