Welcome to my new blog!

Hello friends and welcome to my new blog. I created this blog to share the 'crafty' side of Rick. I have always been the little sewer in the family and thanks to my mom Barbara, her talent for sewing has been gifted to me as well. Recently, we both became owners of new Bernina sewing and embroidery machines and this has become a new endeavour for us both to create new projects and creations with this wonderful piece of machinery - nothing sews like a Bernina!

Mom and I recently returned from the AQS quilt show in Nashville and now I'm full in new inspiration for creating quilts and quilt projects as well as starting some new embroidered quilt projects as well.

I am a full time portrait and wedding photographer in New Orleans - feel free to visit my company's website at www.cowboyupphotos.com
