New to me machine

Hi friends!
My loot! And this is nothing compared to the books i bought!
The fat quarter's are for Q-Bees , we pile a certain color up every month and they draw a winner and they all go home with that person. I won them a couple of months ago.
I know blue is Jan.'s color so i got one! And pink and yellow comes in there to!
The yardage of dark blue is for Jarrod's quilt.
I will start it soon! I plan on buying some turquoises and grey soon for Allie's quilt. Both of their birthdays are in Jan. so maybe i can finish both in Jan!

I got nearly two yards of the snowman and 50 % of the nearly a yard.
Someone said there was a great sale at Jo-anns , maybe! Didn't help me!

This is the machine my Son brought me!
No Bobbin case! Or bobbins! Cindy Peters is looking to see if she has one i can buy!
I hope so!
Can't wait to see on this!

Work for the Weekend

Hi friends!
Got this one ironed yesterday.
 Maybe i can get it quilted this weekend.
I am trying to do at least two or more log cabin blocks every day so yesterday put the eight up and started making them again.

Got my next three done!
yesterday all i did was go get a haircut so should have gotten more done. But it was my night to mop and clean. At least i got finished with that and today i feel awful! Maybe i did to much! I can hear my mom saying that!
Drinking a cup of tea hoping to get some energy.
Have a great weekend

Eight Blocks

Hi friends!
We ran around yesterday so i didn't think I would get any sewing done.
But last night I made a few more blocks.

We went to Rome for my drivers licences but before we went I got on their site and filled out my paper work and it just took a minute. I did the eye test and had my picture done , ugly as usual and paid ! Lots better than last time.
We came back and paid out taxes , car and property and ran a bunch of errands and bought groceries.
By the time we got home it was to late to go to the meeting where they gave our quilt to the winner and then they were going to give the 390.00 we raised to the fire dept.
I guess their will be pictures in the paper. I will post them when I see them.
On the Dr. yesterday morning , they said that drinking English breakfast tea would help you lose weight. So bough some and tried it !
I think it has lots of caffeine. I didn't tire and was able to sew after all that running around.
We will see about the lose weight thing!!!!

Company

Hi friends!
We had our beautiful Katy Jo over Friday night . We had fun!

She was finding her clothes for after her bath on Sat. morning.
This is Luke's sister. You remember him staying one day.

I had used a four inch middle and didn't like how that looked so they or on the couch to be ripped and i tried a 3 inch one.
I like it a whole lot better.
I have made one more since then.

So two and how many more for a king sized quilt?
This is a Christmas present! Going to have to move on this.

This is the other wheel chair quilt she made.

This is Bonnie's wheelchair quilt. We take them to the nursing home next month.

Doing Nothing!

Hi friends!
I made this but think i will go back and start with a 2 1/2 inch center. This size makes it look strange.

This one is waiting to be ironed so i can quilt it but yesterday i just sat down and read! I think i was just tired!

This is the view from behind our garden spot.
Made last week when the sun was shining!
Isn't shining now and hasn't in a few days and after a while it gets me down. So i read instead of sewing !
Q_Bees meeting tonight so i have been gathering things up to carry down there.

Ready to Quilt!

Hi friends!
I got it sandwiched!
It has a really crazy backing to it , three different fabrics sewed together.

My table works good for a queen sized but i hate to do a king!
Hoping to be able to give it to him Thanksgiving.

I won this the other day from Fabric and Quilts.
I love that quilt , and they sent me a pattern to make it .  Hopefully after Christmas i will have time to start this beauty.

That's a whole lot of fabric! and all beautiful!
But Christmas sewing comes first.
Have a good one , cool here and cloudy. a good sewing day.

Mark's Quilt Top Done

Hi friends!
The next row on Mark's quilt!

I put all the rows that had enough blocks made and added them together.

Added two more rows but it's not wide enough!

Added ten inches on each side.
But still not finished!

Since it's plenty long enough i just added three inches on top and bottom.

Last touch , racing strip's!
It's ready to sandwich so i can start Christmas !!!
