Love Quilts, Sebastian

The quilt started with all my patriotic nickel squares matched up with a white and blue paint drops fabric. Its quilted with arrows going in all directions.

A spider block quilt, quilted using computerized panto with loops and swirls. (Black thread).

And lastly but not leastly a picture of Sebastian. A little out of focus but I still like it. He's so cute and loveable. He had a parasitic shot Saturday (just in case he has parasitic lung disease). Still waiting for the blood test results.

Keep Stitching

Pet Quilts / Sick Kitty

These quilts are the ones I completed for the local Vet office in town. There will be more in the future.

Sebastian has been coughing. Mr F Q took him to the vet in December and was put on antibiotics and steroids. He improved for a short while but started coughing even more. I took him back today. The xrays of his chest are not good. Multiple blood tests will be run to get a better diagnosis. I'm hoping he will be alright.

Equipment Problems and Snowman Quilt

I have to give my Side Saddle representatives Kudos. They came Christmas morning to fix my side saddle. How's that for "SERVICE". You can find their products here. My thanks to Jennifer and Dave for rescuing me.

Here is my beat up Rowenta Master that is still working, but for how long?

I thought I would buy myself a new one for Christmas. I bought aRowenta DG 5030 Steam Generator. I was so excited to get it out of the box and set it up. Disappointment.... It didn't get hot enough to iron cotton AND the water poured out of the iron when steaming. I contacted Rowenta and I will mail it to a service center for resolution.

For you cat lovers here is a picture of Sebastian sleepily laying on the bed. Doing what he does best.

I've been trying to finish a few of my projects... I got out all my snowman blocks I received in a Snowman block exchange. I am planning on putting a red snowman border and calling it a flimsy. There was a block that was put into a wall hanging. I'll show that next time.

I'll try to get back to posting at least every week.

Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas to everyone in blogland.

This is the table runner that I made Liz in Scotland. I can show it now that she has received it. Pretty with a pointsetta on it.



Here is our small Christmas display at home. A simple little tree on a santa table runner.

All the kids/grand kids gifts underneath the table. My oldest son and family will be here shortly. We are going to have a good time.

Isn't this Santa display cute?

Liz's Table Runner

Now that Liz (in Scotland) has her Christmas box and seen the table runner I made for her I can show it... While visiting here in October I had her select a Christmas fabric. She picked the light colored one. Great choice. I took it from there. Measures 25 X 64 or there abouts.

Now she is wondering what is in the wrapped presents ... :-)

I stitched labels on quilts today, washed them. Wrapped presents and began decorating for Christmas. Hopefully tomorrow I can spend sometime in my sewing room. Maybe I will have something to show...

Princess Quilt, Special Secret Sister

Some of my finishes this weekend: A princess quilt from panels for my grand daughter. It's twin size. Quilted with free form feathers.

I have gotten to the point where I see beauty in my quilting. Instead of looking at parts of it, I look at the overall picture.

Next up is my secret sister gift I made. It was one of Mary's December gifts along with a crystal wine glass (her second glass) and a bottle of wine. She is in charge of Love Quilts and named herself "The Love Goddess". Appropriate and now she has a momento!

I have other finishes I can't show.... No peeking Liz (in Scotland). I guarantee it's pretty and festive.

I have started a Sylvia's Bridal Quilt and have about 10 blocks completed. Am enjoying the process.

Well I'm off to get some more sewing done, Christmas is coming "real soon".

Blocks, nickels and Blackie

I quilted this top today using freehand feathers. It's made up of all orphan blocks and will be going to a special little girl who wants a "big girl" quilt.

Last year our guild had an exchange of fabric squares (nickels - 5 inch). I went thru them and pulled all the patriotic ones. I am unsure of the outer border. Seems too large.. What do you think?

And finally a picture of Blackie with his coat looking real good. He's such a sweetie.
