Weekend Recap

Saturday I quilted a love quilt (charity).  I tried a new pattern that was really easy and looks good.  It's like a basket weave.

And the back.

My double four patch finally made it to my bed after a day delay; cats sleeping in it.  Looks so nice and it sleeps me good.  Here is what I took off the bed, all washed up.  It will join the scrap quilts trunks show.

And the back.

And those are sheep lol.

I have big leaf plants and I spied a frog on the main stem.

Weekend Update

A QOV I quilted yesterday. Light blue perma core thread on top, so fine on the back. 80 / 20 batting.


The back. Lots of texture. Pathway to the stars panto.



A close up.


My Ireland frog sitting on a piece of Connemara marble.


A very pretty statue sent by a good friend in the UK. The statue stands about 5 inches tall.


Lucy looking lovely.



Mr Tale posing very pretty. He needs a good home.


Maestro on the left also needs a home. All are very lovable.

Strip Smart - Flimsy

The frog, rock and dragon fly spark plug. I have this on my desk at work. The dragon fly is really cute with the frog on a giant lily pad.



The kitties in the bed at treat time. They are jockeying for position, even though they are all treated fairly.

and last but not least the strip quilt. A flimsy finally. Now that it's off the floor I can vacuum up all the threads and bits.

More to show later.

Itty Bitties, Visitor

Here are my itty bitties sewn together in long strips with a light blue strip in 2 widths 2.5 and 3 inches. It is evolving nicely.

Next post I'll show the completed itty bitty quilt top. I haven't quite decided what other sewing project I will be doing today. BUT rest assured I'll be sewing something.

Orphan blocks and scraps, Reorganizing

I took a pile of scrap blocks, pieces parts and made a very colorful child's quilt top. It's very happy and bright.

Yesterday I spent the day with a good friend who helped me organize my bedroom/quilt room. We had so much fun!!! Now I am able to get behind my quilt machine and use panto's to quilt. The new configuation is very bright and clean looking. I removed many layers of dust that were hidden.









This cutefrog jumped out of a flower pot while I was watering. Since then he comes out regularly.

I have started a new quilt (big surprise LOL). It uses spikey star blocks which I am making using the accuquilt cutter. The rest of the pieces all come from blocks and pieces that I have in my stash.

Home from NC

We are back from NC after having a wonderful time dispite the rainy and cool weather.

Here is a dresden plate quilt I will be quilting soon. It is one that has been on hold in the closet and I want to get it finished.

We caught plenty of large fish this year. One was 19 inches long. Our friends from Scotland learned and caught plenty of fish. They enjoyed the experience and liked our big fish fry.

This is a few hours of fishing, a limit of 10. :-) One of the few days where I caught my limit.
