Dont forget the giveaway!!!!

GIVEAWAYgiveaway   it ends Friday!

friends!
Beautiful day!
the top picture was before , the bottom is a finished flimsy.  Now all I have to do is quilt and bind and Wayne's quilt will be finished.


Then I will start Mark's quilt.  I hope I can finish it and do my daughter's pillow covers buy the 8th of June. That's her birthday.   Last  year I made her a granny quilt for her birthday, the first big quilt I had made.

 

I have some of that fabric in a charm pack so I plan on using it.

Have a great  sewing day friends.

Grab bag

DON'T FORGET THE GIVEAWAY!giveaway 

Hi friends! pray for Oklahoma!!Please!

beautiful day!

Look what I ordered from 'Fat Quarter Shop'!

 

 

Love that Christmas fabric!  On one of the blogs I was reading she was showing a quilt that she said she made from a 'grab bag' from the Fat Quarter Shop, so I went and ordered one.  so glad I did! 

Aren't those great!

You know I love Christmas fabric and I love this.        My sis gave me some Christmas fabric to make me a Christmas quilt so I put this in the pile for it. 

I didn't get much sewing done yesterday when we got home , they were talking about the tornado's and I couldn't think about sewing.   Those pictures were awful. Got so depressed I couldn't sleep last night.

One bit of good news was that they had counted the dead 2times so it was 24 instead of 51

but that's 24 grieving families.  for some one that has lost children it brings do many memories.

Have as good a day as you can friends.

Blocks and a win

Hi friends!                                            

Beautiful day!

I have been making blocks for Wayne's quilt .

Sat. I cooked all afternoon and made 4 --9 patch blocks.

Sunday we spent the day with my mother's family at our yearly reunion.

we had a great day!

but when we got home we collapsed.

Look what came in the mail sat.

'Blended quilts backgrounds'

I had gotten a e-mail from Angie at  quiltingreaderdgarden   that I had won it .

it's a great quilt book. Some great quilt patterns that I must try!

 

 

really interesting quilts!

we have spent the day running around and getting bills paided, I put my PC in the shop.  I like this laptop but it's not what I am used to. Of course nether will it be what I am used to when I get it back.

I forgot about my giveaway...giveaway  go their and enter I will keep it open until friday !

Why does it always come back a total stranger?  Maybe they will get it right this time.

Have a great sewing day friends.  Quilt happy

 

Sunday

The Bear!!!

Hi friends!
Rainy day!
here are the bear pictures as I promised.  It turned out good but sure was a lot of work, jack the ripper, work.
Hope every one has a great weekend.    Quilt happy

GIVEAWAY!! And the bear

Hi friends!
Cloudy day!
Today is giveaway day!  I noticed I had reached 20000 page views and 500 post so today I am giving away four fat quarters and some charms, not shown, like I always do with the fat quarters. Two of the fat quarters are 'snow day' by me and my sister. The stripe is a fat 8 but I will put another fat quarter in to.
Well I think I beat the bear!   it's in the dryer right now, can't wait to see how it comes out.  So I have a Friday finish!  This battening was what I ordered from Jo-Ann's and I have never used before and it's thick.  if it makes a good warm quilt it will be worth the extra fighting with it.
I got it with a 50% off coupon so it wasn't to bad.
I love the way it looks, so nice and thick!
I will put a picture on tomorrow.
Have a great weekend friends.   Quilt happy 

Still bagging

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
As you can see I made another bag, but still don't like it. It's not big enough for all my stuff so I may have to make up one.
I am naming this quilt 'the bear' because it's so hard to do anything with.  Seems like it's two steps backward for every step forward.
Right now I am taking out stitches so I can finish quilting it.  Something slipped when I took out to many pins before I should have, live and learn I guess.
Hubby is putting tomato's baskets around our tomatoes . I guess he will mow tomorrow.
Got to get back to the bear have a great sewing day!
