Ryan and Jess's quilt and my giveaway

Hi friends!
 It may be big enough!
Don't for get my  Follow    GIVEAWAY

I found some more Cats to add to the pile and a couple of more larger scraps or fat 8 are some call them.

See the cute little kitties!
To get back to my quilt, I added on each side.
I think i used 4 inch and then added three's along the top and bottom so now it measures 90 by 96 which is a great size. Of course it will be smaller after i wash it.
I got a package in the mail today , i think my fabric fast may be over.
But this is for my daughters birthday quilt.

And today i got some Falcons fabric for a grand sons birthday present.

\He turned 17 and he is a Falcon fan even through they were awful last year.Atlanta is building them a big new place to play and they were awful!!!!!!

 I am still just buying for things i am going to make. Tommy says use what you have but i ddn't have but a few small pieces of blue and just scraps of the falcons fabric.

Ryan and Jess's quilt

Hi friends!
It now measures 80 by 90 inches, a little more and it should be big enough.

I added another little bit and i am thinking another row or two should do it.

I have used up a lot of scraps but their is so much more i need to cut up this weekend. Not that i am running out of already cut scraps yet.  I still have lots of half full bags. It would be nice to get them all cut up and empty up some totes for more fabric!

I am making this for one of our grandkids that got married last year.

I hope they like it.

Have a great day friends.

This and That

Hi friends!
Rainy cold day!
I had to use up some of those zippers i bought.
This is a nine inch pouch.

My Sis brought me some Dec. fabric so i used it to make a big pouch, it's ravels so i doubt if i will use it again for a pouch. I think this one is 11 inches.
This fabric  would make great dining room chair covers If you had that kind of chairs.

It's growing every day!

I added another 6 inch row on the top!

And one on the bottom, so i just like a few more rows and it should be long enough. I want to make a border of 2 1/2 inch scrap squares all around to use up some of those. I still have way to much scraps that are not cut up yet. I need to dig our some more and cut them up but still have a lot  cut so i am going to use them today.  I might cut up scraps Sat. because i can get at least one more scrap quilt from what i have .

The only fabric that i have bought this year is for my quilt on my other blog to make us a quilt. I did order some but they haven't shipped yet.  Some blue for my daughter a quilt for her birthday.

Have a wonderful day friends.

More Scraps

Hi friends!
I got my blocks added and they just fit  when i added a two inch strip of the dark green at each end.
Then i added a row of 3 1/2 inch scrap blocks over that.

where to go from here?
I added another scrap strip of 3 1/2 on the other end of the quilt top.  It measures about 53 inches right now so more scraps are needed.  I have plenty of the little bitties but they get you now where fast.

So i added a strip of 6 inch scraps, now it's nearly 60 inches but i want it at least 80 so i had better get to work.

It's warm today , storm later they say and ice tomorrow.so i went looking for some spring. It's in the high 60 ths today.

It's hard to find any!
Have a great day friends.

Yesterday

Hi friends!
Got to spend the afternoon with my Tucker yesterday!
Think i can teach him to quilt?

He loves cartoons!

I decided to add a row of blocks across the quilt , i have four made  and needed one more to make it be the same as the rest of the quilt top.

I saw another video by Jenny  Doan!

I liked these blocks , you know me i don't want to do a whole quilt with just the same blocks ! I am doing one that way on my other blog asimpleygreat but it's going to be beautiful.

Don't you love it!

I made a exception for these blocks!

Fell in love with them when i saw the video!

Have a great day friends.

Book Review/ "Under a Silent Moon" by Elizabeth Haynes

Hi friends!

A  book  review! Hardback : 359 pages Publisher: Harper  Collins
"Under A Silent Moon"
By Elizabeth Haynes
Two women share a grisly fate in the first entry of this exciting new British crime series. A blend of literary suspense and a thriller. Introduces  Detective Chief Louisa Smith. When i read this i thought oh goodies a British police novel! I am a big fan of Peter Robersons,DCI Banks series.

You can order here

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/under-a-silent-moon-elizabeth-haynes/1113968938?ean=9780062276049

In the crisp early hours of a Autumn morning the police are called to investigate two deaths The first is a beautiful woman found dead , her cottage drenched with blood. The second is a car with a women's body inside at the bottom of a pit.

DCI Louisa Smith and her team start working the case and find that the two are connected..
I loved this book even through it was not a bit like Banks!
I didn't know that the British Police had Analyst to help with the investigation. This book doesn't follow the regular line that most do. It follows 4  people, two police officers , Louisa Smith and Andy Hamilton, Her chief officer plus two daughters , Flora Maitland and Taryn Lewis  of the family's of the two victims.
It uses a different way of posting time lines so that the detectives can just read the evidence.
 Being on the week end a lot of evidence has to wait until Monday. It gets very [sit on the edge of your seat ] Intense toward the last ! I had never read one that goes into detail of the morning briefing that  the police have to get the latest evidence. I had problems following all the different people until i went back to the first and read all the names and who they were.
Their is so many different stories all going at once.
I love the way it was written and the people  and situations were so real.
It covers wild sex down to family spats with equal skill. I liked it so much i bought a short story by her last night.

Elizabeht Haynes Is a police Analyst, a civilian role that involves determining patterns in offending and criminal behavior. She is the author of three previous novels " Human Remains" , " Dark Tide' and 'Into the Darkest Corner", which was selected as Amazon U.K. best book of 2011.

She lives in a village near Maidstone , Kent, with her husband and son.

Have you read any books by her?

Note- i received a copy of this book as part of the TLC book tours in exchange for a honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Ryan and Jess's Quilt

Hi friends.!
I have been working off and on, on this quilt.
I think it time to add something else , a block line or another line of the bigger scraps.

This  picture is the the snow from the carport

It's suppose to rain most every day next week so this will all melt..

On the fifteenth i broke a needle and hunted every where for one, then i read a email that said 100 needle's for $12.99 so ordered them . It has taken them a while to get here. I think at first they had so many orders that they had a hard time filling them. But after they shipped they changed the day several times, must be because so much of the US is under snow. I have ordered from them before and got it in a few days. At least i have needles to last for a while.

I have never ordered needles from them before but a few at Walmart is 4 dollars so i hope this is a good buy.

That fabric I won and got at the first of the week makes great zipper pouch's, i added a small zipper pocket but was to lazy to change my foot so it pokes out a little.

I guess this one is for me!

Have a great day friends.

Snow and babies

Hi friends!
It started about 4 and this picture was taken at 8.

This one was made at 12 last night.

It's falling off the trees fast because the temps are suppose to get above freezing for a while today.

We got 8 or nine inches last night and that more than we have had at one time in years the roads are clear and our power is on that what is important.

I made snow cream for the first time in many years, i guess since my kids were little.

Tucker loved it!

Angel bundled him up good.

My Daughters grand!

Look at Bentley's eyes, he loved it.

Hasn't been that long i made him a quilt before he was born.

Can't wait for Easter to see them hunt eggs!

Just a little over a month!

Have a good one friends.
