Gracie's Quilt

Hi friends!
She liked it!
It's own her bed with the pillow i made for her.

Isn't she adorable?

This is her mother Kari.

Her father Eli , my daughter's next to oldest.

His toy!
Just another thing to make Mother's and Grand-maws worry!
They are very dear to me, the sweetest two people just made for each other.
We went to have that test, Cat Scan, this morning , when we got home had a message to call the Dr. ,
But when Tommy called they didn't know anything about it.
So i guess we will hang around to see if he calls back.
Have a great day friends.

Sunday

Another nearly finished

Hi friends!
One unfinished block, just like the top!
I worked all afternoon on this one.

I took it down yesterday and made it bigger. Now it holds a little more but i may have to put up a big one , this is for a small table.
As slow as i am working i want need it until next week!

Our garden is doing good so far!  We have little peppers and little tomato's.
Tommy said this morning " i don't know who planted all that squash"  Ha Ha.
We will be giving it to every one we can find pretty soon, we like it every once in a while.
They called yesterday to make sure we were going to be at our app. Monday and said for us to be early!  He has to drink something before they do the Cat Scan.
They said his own special mixture!
Praying for some good news!
Have a great day friends.

Quilt wall and wins

Hi friends!
Sis came over and brought me some flannel backed table cloths Sat so i put this one to good use.
I have it doubled but i think i will get me a chair and single it  so it will be big enough for lots of blocks.   That's about all i can get on here now.
I dug out the star blocks that i made a few weeks ago, just made 4.
You see now why my silo was sagging, i put another pin in it but it still sinks in a little.
The only thing is the only wall i have is in the hall outside the bathroom. So it's hard to get a good picture.

I made this from my [dining] sewing room!

This one from inside the bathroom!
But i do have a sewing wall to hang my blocks now!

I won this last week and it came earlier this week! Great quilts  in this one! I won it from Kate at seams like a dream.  She has a great blog , you should go visit.

I bought this one at the the quilt show last year but mostly it shows quilt from the shows all over the states so don't think i will renew it.
That 20 % from their fabric store is good but you can't use it at JoAnns with any other coupon.

This morning the fed-x man brought me this bag kit that i had won  from another Kate from fabric editions, it's a great pattern and kit that i will have to make soon. Love those girls over there to , go visit them.
We are still in limbo until Monday when Tommy gets his Cat Scan, just keep us in your prayers.
Have a great day friends.

My Day

 Hi friends!
This morning i was up before Tommy and went out on the back porch.  Before i got sat down good a big yellow thing with a green head bit me on my leg.
Tommy  wasn't out their to protect me.
 I had to come in and put on long pants and socks.
Bugs love eating on me, i tell Tommy it's because i am so sweet.
He just laughs!
Yesterday he used the fly swat to keep them off my legs!
I quit using lotion before i go out because i thought that was attracting them.
Well that didn't work!!!!
Worked on my barn block yesterday.

It looks like the silo is leaning!
I think that is just the way i have it on there.

I started a pin cushion and scrap catcher but don't have any thing to use to make it stay open. I will have to think about what i have here and see if i can make  do.Some people have used old tape measures but we use all of ours. Tommy gave me his old one and i measure quilt's with it.
Man sewing has a great video on this on u tube.
Got a new camera card a few months ago but it came in two pieces , daughter showed me how to put them together Sunday when she came for Lunch. They had changed them since i had bought one before.
I looked on the package but couldn't find any thing on it to explain two pieces!
Don't know what i would do with out my kids and grands telling me what to do on the computer and other things..
Have a great day friends.

Starting two new quilts.

Hi friend

Doesn't that look good? We are still working on left over's!

I am making a barn! Loved this one so started with it. I am thinking of two blocks in this quilt , one row barns and one stars. I have already made a few stars to start with.

Collette sent me this pattern a while back and i have been looking forward to making it.

This i the one i am starting with.

I have got this far!

 I am looking for some fabric to go with this that i got for Lola's quilt.
She loves deer!
I saw some a couple of years ago with little deer on it so will look and see if i can find some.
I know i used some of it in Kari's and Eli's quilt a couple of years ago.
Have a great day friends.

Finished Gracies Quilt

Hi friends!
I finished binding her quilt Sat night. It's a extra long twin sized quilt.
We are in limbo here Tommy went to do some blood work this morning and now we wait until next Monday to go for the cat scan.
I cooked dinner for my baby daughter yesterday, her birthday is today. She works 6 days a week!

Sis came over to see her.
She wanted strawberry home made ice cream instead of cake so we made some.
It was really good!
Her brother , my baby , had a birthday last Monday.
My kids are getting older, how can that be when i don't?
Put some of the strawberries that we bought from Noah for his ball team in the ice cream..
Haven't finished her quilt yet but soon.
Trying to decide which quilt to work on next, think i will work on two for a while.
Got some fabric for Lola's quilt that i need to finish before August so i have plenty of time.

See this, it's a pattern for making barns among other things that a good friend sent me, you know who you are, i am thinking about barns and stars.
Want say who it's far!
Keep us in your prayers please

Sunday

Great Morning Company!

Hi friends!
I am still working on this.
May get it finished tonight.
Woke up to the phone ringing this morning my Tatum had come up and spent the night with her other grandparents and wanted Grand-maw to cook her some breakfast. She and Addie and a sweet girl friends of Addies named after the little mermaid in the movie. came over , thank goodness i had some tea made, they love it!
Tatum and Addie loves my biscuits with sausage and bacon.
My grandbabys are growing up, Tatum drove up and brought Addie and her friend with her.
We got a call yesterday from the pillcam report and they found a small tumor so a week from Monday we go for a  catscan. Didn't figure out what was bleeding but think it was the Aleve that he had been taking for arthritis pain at night, some times he would take two. All the Dr.s say it cause's you to bleed on the inside. Depending on what this shows we may be going to Mayo clinic in Fla which is the closest place for the next test.
Maybe the bleeding was just a sign from our lord of warning about the tumor.
I thank him daily for all our blessings.

He is out there tilling the garden!
Yesterday after he talked to his Dr. he weed eated the big ditch in the front. I told him i though he should call and talk to each one of his daughters but he waited until they were off work so he could have a good talk.
Need prayers friends

Pill Cam

Hi friends!
I worked on my binding the last two nights but not quit finished !
Yesterday we had to be in Rome before 7:30 so Tommy could swallow the pillcam and then had to be back down there at 3: 25 for her to take off all the stuff.

All this records the pictures made by the camera.
We had company about 12:30!

They always eat at Grandmaws house.
Tommy was not feeling good so couldn't enjoy them like he always does.
Of course i had to put up the quilt i was hemming and when i did i had to show them the needle that was in it.
They are sweet and ask so many questions..
It will be a few days before we get the report back on the pill cam, just praying for a good report.
Tommy couldn't  wait to get back to working in the yard right now he is cutting the road side and going to weed eat the ditch.
Then he will cut the yard again.
I should finish the binding tonight so maybe a Friday finish!
I am waiting by the phone and hoping to get the report before the weekend.
I will be sewing today i hope.
Have a great day friends.

Quilting and Hubby

Hi friends!
I spent yesterday quilting this quilt.
And picking threads off where i had to take out some quilting!
Did get the binding sewed down so should be finished this week..

This thing  helps a lot.
Tommy bought this for me a few years ago. The light does help! It's a little awkward when you are used to the other ones.

I ordered some white Bella but it looks cream to , i had ordered some moda and all of the white looked cream.
Maybe it will be whiter after it's washed.

This is Tommy today!
I asked him if he wanted to go into Ingles with me but he was afraid they would call the bomb squad!
He just had his first food since 12 o:clock yesterday, apple sauce. He was not happy!
Just keep us in your prayers , we want know anything for a few days.
Have a great day friends
Thanks for the prayers

So we were up early and went to Rome this morning and are already back. They didn't find any thing so they are going to make him a apt. to swallow a camera.

We had to stop and get him some biscuits to make up for not eating since Wednesday.
He  love's Bojangles
They do have good biscuits!
It's good right now because they have just been open here for a couple pf months.
I guess i will be quilting some this weekend but Family reunion is Sunday so i wont be then.
