VERSE OF THE DAY

May 9

Micah 7:18-19

18 Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. 19 You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

Quilting and Deers

Hi friends!
Got this one out and trimmed off some of the battening.
Still need to quilt the white around the pictures.
Hopefully some time today. We have to make a water run! It will take them a year or longer to fix our water.
Then we sent in a  pick up of groceries at Walmart today   at three.

Picture made through screen and plastic but If I open a door they take off.
We have our own little herd.
Well we now have water to last a week, made our water run.
Just use it for cooking and coffee.
It was 34 this morning at six!
Suppose to stay that way for a few days , highs in the 60's
 Glad we haven't planted any thing yet.  Tommy is feeling much better this year so we may plant some. Not a big garden like we used to , just tomato's and maybe orka and corn. Thinks that we eat!
Stay Safe

Right now it seems to be do with what you have so they was what I had.

Getting Things Done

Hi friends!
I went with this size and sandwiched it.

Trimmed and quilted it yesterday, today I look for binding to finish it off. Maybe a black? But will just see what I have .
Sure not going any where to buy some!
Don't know whether I have black?
The baseball fabric would do it I am sure and I have plenty.
Our power was off last night for about a hour. Tommy had turned the air on it was so warm! So we noticed it!
He couldn't breath so got up and sat in a chair , thanks goodness it came back on.
Got up to news that they were shutting the Shaw plant where we used to work down because some one had this virus there.
My daughter and grand kids work across the street.  Just hope they stay safe.
Stay safe friends

Fighting Blogger ... slow

Hi friends!
Got a few minutes over the weekend to work on this.

Got this one ripped out and added back.

Want it a little bigger.

Measurement  now 51 by 45. That should be big enough.
My flags are winding down , my whites are on their last legs.

And my yellows are starting.

Stay safe friends

Progress

Hi friends!
Last night I added a few strips.

Ironed it and the last one I added was upside down! Looked at the clock and it was 9:30 so I quit.
Spent most of my day Icing and heating my bump!

Got it on the couch to rip it out.
Got to pick up groceries today,.
Both of my kids got in touch after yesterday post. Guess they or some one near them reads a few post  from my blog!
Stay safe

No sewing!

Hi friends!
Dr. office called me yesterday and called  me in  some antibiotic so hopefully I will get rid of this pecan with out getting the virus.
She thinks I have a inter ear infection.
Three days a day! Tommy had me using his neck heading pad that I ordered for him a few years ago.
I have kind of lost my desire to create lately so maybe it will come back when this goes away.. It went from a sore peanut to a pecan in a few hours.
Have a good one

Growing!

Hi friends!
Started sewing together strips last night.

Didn't get far!

Blogger is all messed up today. It like pulling teeth to get pictures on here.
I have what looks like the mumps in one side. Talked to the Dr. and they called me in some antibiotic.
Haven't been exposed to mumps lately not since my kids had them in the 60's and 70's .. Hoping these antibiotic work.
Haven't been sick, just feel stretched and it hurts .
Hopefully it will get better now.
Have a great sewing day

Boy Quilt

Hi friends!
You have heard of 15 minutes of sewing... I do about one hour!

Of course this will draw  up when I sew them together. Plus I have to add to some of the rows of three inch squares. The longest rows are about right.
May start to sew them together today.
Beautiful sunny day here but storms tomorrow. In the 70's , this weekend 80's. Go right from heat to air! Mornings in the 30's just yesterday.
Never get the chance to save any money!
 At least sending in your list you don't order as much!
Have a good sewing day

Third Quilt

Hi friends!
Worked on these this past weekend.
We just stayed at home all weekend. They have lifted the stay at home but we are in the range where it kills you so we will just stay right here.
We have 13 case's with one death.
That's a lot in our little town.

Got pretty low in my bucket so yesterday I started cutting again.

Still need a few more rows to get my size but it's getting there.

Third Baby Quilt

Hi friends!
Started sewing the 3 inch squares together last night.

Sewed the last one on wrong. So I quilt for the night!
Will have to take it off while the news is on after while.
I finished this book.

If you ever read about  "Fremont Jones : you will love her.
Author Dianne Day
About a 1920s girl whose mother dies and her father re-marries, while he is on his honey-moon she goes to San Frisco all the way from Boston.
She never liked the woman he married but stayed for his wedding.
There she opens a inquiry shop. This book is after she gets it started and takes on Michael as her partner.
The railroad wants them to find out who is blowing up trains.
They travel separately so when the train blows they are separated. He can't find her anywhere.
She is hit on the head  but when she comes to she has been rescued by a Mormon who wants her to be his 6th wife.
I have enjoyed every one of her books that I have read!
Mystery and romance
Have a great weekend

Working on Baby Quilts

Hi friends!
My box is getting fuller, I have been cutting for my third boy quilt.
From fabric's that are not to girly. Three inch squares!

I am thinking I will make a blanket out of this. I hope it's big enough.
I worked yesterday on ripping out quilting on the second baby boy quilt so today I plan on re-quilting.
Have a great day

A Finish!

Hi friends!
One baby boy quilt done , two more to go!
Now to finish quilting the other one.

The other twin boy quilt is a darker blue.

The backing is the same for both quilts! A polished cotton that is hard to quilt. It's lite blue with blue square design in it.

Still cutting for the third one.
Have a great day
Stay safe!

Fabric

Hi friends!
Sis cleaned her sewing room!
This is just two wash  loads of fabric that she brought me.

This bolt is a canvas type fabric.

This is the last of the fabric. The bottom one is a bunch of panels.
I have got to work faster! There was some blue just right for binding on the light blue baby boy quilt.
Now I just have to find some more room in my sewing room.
She stood at the end of the porch and we stood 6 feet away and I had the books I bough the last time we went to Ollies on the trunk of my car  and we swooped.
I think I got the better of it!
I figure with the easing of the restriction the cases will go way up but when we  went to get gas last Sat. the place was covered up. traffic was just as heavy as it always is! I think the older people are the only ones that are staying home. I think the young people don't think they will get it but lots of people under 65 have died from it.
But we  don't want to take any chances!
Stay safe

A little bit of Sewing

Hi friends!
I am down to hair scrunchies for Elastic. Ordered some Saturday but may be a while before it comes.
Just made this for me.

Kind of crooked but it will work.
I worked on twin boy quilts Friday and Sat. mostly ripping out quilting but I think they are now ready for binding if I can find some thing to bind them with.
The sun shined yesterday then the storms wasn't as bad as we were afraid they would be.

Need to clean up my sewing room and find some more boy scraps to cut up.
But after while we will call in a grocery order and pick it up.
Have a great day

Threads

Hi friends!
I finally got around to sandwiching those baby quilts.

The twins are due in July but sometimes twins come early so I needed to get busy.
I am sure you have heard of "Wish" you can order all kinds of things from them. Well one day I saw a site selling thread! Nice big spools of our sewing threads!
Ordered some and today I got my order!

I put my rotary cutter on it to show the size of the spools!
Not what the picture showed!!!!
It showed nice large spools! Want be ordering from them again.
Hate being lied to!
Just hope it not rotten!
I will let you know if it is.
Have a great day

Sunday

Hi friends!
They are thinking 3 tornado's hit here on Sunday.
One hit right about a mile and a half from us.Dropped some trees onto some house pulled up some more and then climbed the hill pulling up trees as it went.
Then it landed on the other side of the hill right on a trailer park. I haven't seen it yet but they were showing pictures of total destruction.
These are just on this side of the hill.

The worst damage was on the other side of our hill.
No one was killed so we are blessed.
