Sunday Strings and a flimsy

I have massive amount of strings and need to get them under control. Is that even possible?

I was motivated by Bonnie Hunter to start stringing some geese. Here is what I have done so far.


Aren't they cute?

And yesterday I finished a long time top. A smorgasbord of mostly Christmas blocks and parts. This will probably get donated.

Easy Street Part 6

Here are all my parts for Easy Street. The lime squares are feeling left out.

I used some black and white with lime color to add a zing! I'm ready to put this top together...

Christmas Eve Correcting Easy Street Part 5

Seems I inserted the wrong photo for this step. The correct photo IS



I have a pumpkin pie in the oven, a turkey breast defrosting to cook later. I am still debating on making bread / cinnamon rolls.

I have enough food here for a small army.

Wishing a joyful day to all. Enjoy the process to create what ever you are doing.

Sunday Bakers Edition

The before fresh apple walnut cake.




The finished..




And my annual dried fruit cake. The dried fruit and brandy marinated in the fridge for a few days. This year I used craisins, dried blue berries, apricots, raisins and dates. YUM?




I think I will try a piece.. OMG! It's fabulous.

Sew Easy Street Part 5 :-)

I evaluated the rotary blades gifted to me by my friend Margeret from Harbor Freight. I give them a thumbs up!!!! I have been cutting up a storm.

The baking edit will come later today!

Easy street part 4

I promised myself yesterday I would work on this mystery and I did.



As you can see from the picture I used the Fons and Porter ruler to cut both the main triangles and the wing triangles.




I'm not quite finished but I will remedy that tonight.

Happy stitching!

Two full size done

It has been a busy weekend. Hubs was away hunting so I took advantage of the time.

Saturday I finished the first T Shirt quilt and have binding stitched down.


The back


Here is the second... the problem child. I started with a very nice panto of swirls and a heart. After a row and into the second row all hell broke loose. Nothing worked. Here it 2 pm, frustrated I through my hands up and walked away for a few hours.

Now back at the frame I changed threads and went to town emulating the digital pattern on my own. Talk about quilt till you drop... I finished it at 9 pm last night. Trimmed it and left my sewing room a disaster. So today you know what has to happen first in there.


The back...I had to expand the fabric by adding a slice. If that isn't enough, I had to add a 4 inch piece on the length for the rollers ugh!


It's done and beautiful. Yes the grass is yucky looking and I admit being too lazy to walk down to the rope between trees to hang these quilts.

Today I promised my self to work on the next step of Easy Street.

On the frame...

Here is the first of two T Shirt quilts I need to get finished.



This one is finally off the floor....

Easy Street Part 3

Here are the first patches for part 3. Last night I was so tired that I went to bed early. I woke up early, read a few blogs and thought, I might as well get up and finish part 3. I did finish.





Bring on step 4.

Busy Sunday

I started my day making bread and cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon rolls mostly for a work event tomorrow. This afternoon I finished up a order for 14 coasters. I am so glad to be finished. I'm thinking Clemson colors.



I met my son and family at Cracker Barrel for a nice lunch on Saturday. On the way home I stopped at the quilt shop in Orangeburg SC. A Stitch In Time, Again. They had lots of 50% and 40% off fabric. I couldn't pass up a good deal.


The Black on Whites are for my Easy Street Quilt. I will post my progress tomorrow.

There might be some more sewing tonight OR not. I'm pretty tired so I might make an early night of it.

T Shirt Flimsy and Mug Rugs

Again my sewing room is a disaster. That means I have been busy. This is not the best picture but you get the idea. Linda approved this top yesterday so here it is. The top is full size with a 8 inch over hang.



I have a customer order for 14 mug rugs. I woke up this morning and thought I need to get it finished. That is why you see rope in the picture.

The first one is done. While stitching these I am watching a Patsy Thompson quilting video.

Easy Street Part 2 DONE!

I finished these flying geese units, all 134 of them last night watching Nebraska get whooped :-(

This morning I re-inserted my red snappers back into my quilt leaders. Oh how I have missed you.

Excuse the messy look. I usually have multiple projects going and somehow my room gets messy. How did that happen?












Tinker Belle looking all cute and stretched out.

East Street Part 2

In between working on one of the two T Shirts Quilts and errands, I am trying to complete part 2. I have about half of the flying geese finished.



I am using a Fons and Porter ruler to cut both types of triangles.

This mystery is teaching me new things. I never really understood this ruler. Now I feel confident and I will use it in the future.


Tonight I plan to sew another stack of flying geese. There is something SO soothing about feeding pieces of fabric through the sewing machine.
