Playing!

Hi friends!
I worked yesterday on blocks for our quilt for Q-bees. We haven't had a meeting in two months, took Christmas off for all our Christmas sewing.
I though I would stick with tried and true blocks.

One of these plus the top one?
I also did some fun sewing yesterday!

I made two little doll pillows for Gracie and Shania. They are planning on having breakfast with us Sat.
Then I made pillow cases for their pillows.

Gracie's is a little bigger than Shania's.
Have a good one

My Weekend

Hi friends!
My strange looking cow!
She gives milk chocolate!
Haven't finished her up but will do that later.

I made Tommy a "quilt" to cover his face with when he went out side during this freeze.

I closed it in the back with Velcro.

I did some more work on Amy's pillow shams ! May be tomorrow before I send them off to her.

A sneak peek!

We got a little snow!
I haven't heard from Jessica, I will give her a few more days. If I don't hear from her I will pull another name.
Have a good one

Amy's Shams

Hi friends!
Well today is Amy's birthday!
I didn't like the way I did it at first so I redid the front to this.
Started on the other one last night.

I will get it into the mail Monday! A little late!.

This is how I did it at first but didn't really like it!
It's the same color but show's up differently in these two pictures.

With the flash it shows up green but is more of a turquoise.
Maybe I can finish them today but we are suppose to get  snow so I want be going any where until next week.
Tommy just hollowed so it's already snowing!
Hope it's not to bad!

Next Month

Hi friends!
One of my first quilts !
Went to get new glasses yesterday and it's my cataracts instead!
So I go to see about surgery next month.
I will have to sew fast to get finished with a few things because I don't know whether it will stop me from sewing or not.
I know from Tommy's they don't want you around lint  or dust or any thing that could get in your eyes, so I may have to give it up for a while.

Another picture of the four cozy's  I made for Tonia and Abby.
No sewing yesterday because my eyesight wasn't good until late.
I did get the tree down and all the decorations put up. And some cleaning done.
I may go crazy if I can't read or sew after the surgery because t.v. is something I hate.
I watch the news and N.C.I.S. and that's about it.
I will have to lesson to my kindle!
At least I have that!

More!

Hi friends!
I made two more littles  each for Abby and Tonia last night.
This morning I went to have my eyes dilated, so excuse the mistakes!

Microwave cozys

Hi friends!
Yesterday we were heating something up in the microwave and I only had one small cozy so naturally I had to make another. Then Tommy said "You should make my sis and her hubby one " so I did!

I made them one big and two smalls.
Then I remembered telling Tonia I would make her a big one. Here it is!

I made Abby one to but forgot to get a picture.
These things a worth it!
No burned fingers and you can just sit these down and start eating.
Sit them on the table or on a plate.
Have a good one

My Weekend

Hi friends!
Sat . I worked on pillow shams then looked up the size   21 by 36-41. Maybe I need to finds out what size!
moved on to working on something else until I decided to on what size.
Messed up a bag!
Oh well some days it's best  not to do any thing , so I just read!
Yesterday I worked on another quilt for my other blog so will show a little of that.

I  am working  on a quilt for my next door neighbor who has cancer.  Just found out right before Christmas but was so busy I couldn't start on it right away.
Then I watched a video of Jenny Doan making butterflies and decided to put a row of them into her lap quilt.
I have a few cut out  to see how I like them. I have two rows of the strips on point made thought I would put the butterflies between . With a border should make a good sized lap quilt.

December Finish's

Hi friends!
Don't forgot my giveaway! 
HERE
My finish's for this month, finished 4 quilt tops for the girls.
Their was just enough to make each one of them one from their grandmother's top.

 

Made one big king sized quilt for my son and daughter in law.
Made a Gazillion microwave cosy's.

I gave all my grand's that are in collage one so they wouldn't burn their fingers and the rest ones just in case they needed to heat something up.
So Adults and grand's got one.
I am starting pillow cases for Amy to go with her quilt.

Our fashion expert Addie Lou though the backing fabric would look great on them and I had just enough to do it.
Just started collecting fabric for my daughter's birthday quilt.

I need to talk to Noah and Hagen about what they want on their quilt this year.
All of my six kids need another quilt. If the power goes out they will need more then one quilt.
Most of them use electric heat.
Happy New Year
