Time has slipped away

 From me. I truly did not mean to go this long without a post. 

The quilt drive for the Haywood flood victims was a great success with over 124 quilts completed. I did get a little burned out but have been back in the studio finishing chemo quilts.

This was a top donated from Nancy F.  It was supposed to have appliquéd flowers but I just did fancy quilting.  I really played with pro-stitcher and had fun!

Nancy also donated this stripy top which I added a small border to make it a little larger.  I like these quilts to be snuggled when getting treatment. 

The next two are from Lisa T.

I have been stitching the many inches of binding on these quilts.

A nice picture of the kitties sleeping the afternoon away.

And a cross stitch piece I finished myself. It is hanging on the fridge by way of a magnet.  I am stitching my evenings doing cross stitch as it is very peaceful. 

Back soon with more updates. 🐸

Bentos Box Flimsy

Yep it’s a flimsy!!!

And for the kitty lovers a couple pictures of my babies.

Orphan Block quilt #2

Here it is!  Lucy s checking out the stitching 🧵 lol.

QOV Finish (almost)

First let me thank everyone who commented on the loss of Sebastian. All your comments were very comforting to hear.  The other cats and I are adjusting.


Yesterday I managed to get a top quilted.  A QOV quilt.  Maestro gave it her approval.

I will hand stitch the binding in the evenings.

Keeping Busy

As promised here is the layout of the Edyta Sitar Mystery quilt I am doing.  Her directions are spot on.  I am so enjoying this quilt top.  You build the top outside in.

And Sebastian enjoying the hot wood stove.

Activity in the studio

I quilted up this top yesterday that is going to a 7 month old boy who had heart surgery on Monday.  I took a fat quarter package from the Fat Quarter Shop that was on the shelf.  The back is from a bolt of animal fabric that I thought the baby would have fun looking at.  I stubbed in a piece of orange to make it wide enough.

Leave it to blogger to arrange them incorrectly. 

A couple of pictures from last night as a few of my cats snuggled with me.  Lucy is on the left and Sebastian on the right.

Up and Running

I think I might need another couch with all these love able kitties. What you see is four out of five cats wanting to be near me. I quilted a QOV last night and all is well with the table and machine.

Heart Builders Top

This morning I quilted a heart builders top I received recently.  It's very bright and colorful.  I kept the quilting simple this time.

Those Flying Geese Units

Did you know that scraps breed more scraps?  Well they do, so you always have an ever growing supply. My two inch blocks are busting out of their container so you know what that means.... Yep, a quilt using them and some flying geese. I'm thinking two tops so I get the secondary pattern to show up. There will be one with dark inner swuares and another with light inner squares.  🐸

Playing With My Toys

I love a lap cat and Maestro is one who likes to give me therapy.  So this is a common scene at my house.  Of course it is not always Maestro.  Currently I have Sebastian on upper thighs and Maestro laying on my lower legs.  Ahhhhh.

So on to playing with my toys.  I quilted two tops today and enjoyed it.  🐸

Mr Tale has join the effort. He lays right beside me with hip contact.

Mid Week Treat

I have continued to assemble this top out of my massive amount of blocks.

Tonight I auditioned borders but that will be another post.  Maybe tomorrow or Saturday.  Of course they are in the wrong order.
