Round 1 done

That would be round one of Chemo.  Hubs sailed through it great.  All is good.  But guess what?  I got the side effects, nausea, head aches and feeling yucky.  How is that possible?  I'm better now.

I was cleaning out the flower pots on the porch.  A few months ago, I placed a couple of sweet potatoes in with flowers.  Here is what was waiting for me in the soil.  Yep sweet potatoes and fresh.

 

In other new I got a new die for my AccuQuilt and have been cutting fabric like crazy and sewing it together.  See that big pile on the ironing board?  Should be enough for at least one quilt.

 

The applique hearts for the last week.

 

 

Need to sew so see you later.

Sunday Sep 17, 2017

Here are my hearts for the week.

This top was quilted Friday and Saturday.   These blocks are the last of the kite one that I made too many of.

Busy Weekend

This weeks hearts, much better than last week.

Kitty pictures.

This is the progress on my kite blocks. As usual I've made too many blocks, enough for at least one more quilt top.

Feathers and more

I quilted this for M and she wanted feathers. So feathers it is and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Love it!!!

This weeks hearts.

I quilted this QOV this morning.

Catching Up

I cleaned out my closet floor yesterday and moved several big bags of fabric strings to the garage. I can now walk in the closet. Here is my update from the last week.

Last Weeks Blocks

I would have posted these last night but we were having a storm. Enjoy!

Weekly Update

I have gone back to working on my Canadian quilt in red and neutral fabrics.  These two blocks were very tedious but look great finished.

only one heart block was stitched this week.

I quilted this top as it is a great example of how, many colors work together. I want to add it to my trunk show.

The back fabric has been in my stash forever. It wasn't wide enough so I stubbed in frogs and mushrooms in black and white. The quilt is much brighter than the pictures show!

More blocks

My blocks this week.  Sorry about the orientation.

Week day update

These are the bits and pieces I worked on after work in the evenings.

First up are my blocks for mini Monday.  I'm using widths that I already have, 1 1/2 inch.

Hearts that got sown.

This is my start of tumelo trail using again 1 1/2 inch size for the nine patch blocks.

   I am not sure about the sashing and setting stones.

Project Updates

I decided to participate in Temecula Monday mini.   I'm using the sizes that I have, 1 1/2 inch strips and blocks. So mine will turn out larger but that is OK.

These are my hearts from this week.  The cow one needs a few more  stitches but I couldn't resist showing it.

Here is the plaid on plaid quilt top.  I think it might be finished.  Maybe another red border.  Any suggestions?

Catching Up

I am catching up on all my commitments. Proposals, QOV's and quilting for others. I quilted the last of three QOV's yesterday and I have top loaded that I will start as soon as I finish this post. It feels really good to get caught up and not have things hanging over my head. I started appliqing some hearts and they are so cute. A heart is needle turned on a 4.5 inch back ground. They are so fast to sew. As you can see blogger is not cooperating this morning. The small heart quilt (this is the back) is for the Cotton Robin which I participate in every time it is offered. I can't show the front, it will be mailed tomorrow. And the plaid on plaid top continues. I'm thinking I will put a strip of the light plaid fabric around these nine blocks and go from there. The top will tell me what to do next lol.

Enjoy your Sunday. Here in the south it will be HOT today but that is normal for us.

Hearts for the OMG Quilt

I have been appliquing hearts for the border. I have a few made but need many more.

Crumb hearts

Aren't these cute? I didn't have enough blocks to do a lap quilt so I have raided the string drawer. More to come.


While I was working in the flower beds this little toad was watching me.


I hope you are having a wonderful Easter.
