One Quilt

Hi friends!

Yesterday I saw this pale blue fabric with boats and loved it , today not so much!
 

Part of this is blurry but you can see the blue fabric better!  White boats on a blue sea!

The color works with the panel but it just looks washed out next to the other. Plus I just have maybe a half yard of that fabric!

I think I will think about it and work on the other one for a few days until I know if I like that.

The flash made it white out!

My latest diamond painting!  Not completely finished yet.

Have a great weekend

Sping And Scraps

Hi friends!

Every thing is blooming! But it was chilly this morning.

These bloom according to color! Purple first!

No sewing the last two days because we were looking for Lawn Mower parts! A few years ago we spent 150. this year so far we have spent 45$

But the year is not over! Our mower is 17 years old!
 Hubby is trying to make it last, So glad he can work on it!

Did manage to get a few scraps cut up!

Trying to stay ahead of them! 

Stay Safe Friends

One Thing Right After Another

 Hi friends!

 For some reason our country doesn't have Smucker's Blackberry jelly! In any store! So we have had to resort to ordering it!

 However our mail system just slams things around and this time from 12 bottles, we could only salvage 9 bottles!  Last time we only lost one!

They think money grows on trees! Two busted all to pieces and one the lid had popped off and it was probably full of glass.

Today we drove miles for John Deer parts!

Our yearly trip just to keep that thing running! Thank the Good Lord Hubby is handy!

Last night the internet went off and it came back on at 5 o'clock , just a few minutes ago!

Nothing works right !

But we enjoy every minute of our life together!

Stay safe

Boats and Looking

 Hi friends!

Over the weekend I managed to get a few more done.

Have you ever put something where you will be sure to find it and spend a couple of days looking? That's what I am doing now , looking for some fabric I put up for a special purpose!

Stay safe

Tuckeys

 Hi friends!

 Hubby was cutting down on the South forty, he he, when I noticed we had a visitor!

These were made from the back porch so I would run him off.

I guess I made a dozen shots to get two that wasn't to bad!

I wonder if this is the one that used to run around here?

Make that two dozen pictures!

My purple {flags as my mother used to say!] They bloom first.

I need to plant some more but the squirrels dig them up and eat them when I do.

I cut these two panels yesterday , was going to iron, picked up the battening spray by mistake so one of them is in the wash right now!

Do other people do dumb things like that?

And it has trees Dawn!  See!

I know I have solid green but will look to see if I have one closer to that!

This one is already in a quilt!

  A very simple tree.

Son-in-law came by yesterday stayed a few minutes then came back and left this for Hubby to play with .

Guess I better get busy looking for that fabric!

Easter Sunday

Hi friends!

My daughter and her kids came for Easter dinner yesterday. For the first time we had no babies so every one just took some chocolate eggs home with them.

Youngest grand is 19 now!

No great grands came! After they went home I had a short nap and woke up to Kim and Richard coming in.

Then Abby called and came with her family so we had a great Easter after all.

 

It's hard to get a good picture in their because of all the windows.

As you can see with this picture!
You can see we had a really good one! Realized this morning I should have remembered to give Krissy her pillow case!!!!!

Stay safe friends

My phone had died this week so I couldn't get a picture, Have a new one ordered suppose to come This week! Today would be nice!

We have a meeting tomorrow so it would be nice if I could get a picture..

If it does I will post picture maybe tomorrow after our meeting.

Spring 2022

Hi friends!

It's spring with those awful tornado's.

Tonight we are suppose to get storms but hopefully it want be bad!

When I retired I lugged brick and laid them out around a tree and dug up buckets of dirt from the woods and planted a flower bed! These above are beside the house!

Now it's a ant bed!
 

Still has a few flowers blooming in it but not many.

My latest diamond painting!

I have been sewing!

Made this yesterday, hot peppers, Fits the subject!

Saw the fabric and grabbed a yard, even thou I have way to much fabric here already! Hubby just takes off when we get in Walmart so I made a trip through the fabric! While I was "looking" for him!

Want to have a few of the double pot holders when every one comes Sunday , if anyone wants one!

Have a great day , stay safe

Quilt for Two Greatgrands

Hi friends!

We have two great grands sons , brother's, that I haven't made a big boy quilt for so I started one yesterday.   Maverick and Brad!

This is a small panel that Sis gave me when she was clearing out some space so she could sew in her sewing room .

A little closer look!  After I added some colors.

Sis used to have a house here , her retirement home and one in Athens where she worked! But since she retired she just has one here  so she bagged up some and brought it to me a few months ago.

I have been enjoying it! Going to try to get at least one quilt made for one of them in the next few weeks.

Takes me longer to get one made now!

I want to use this for the whole bottom of the quilt!

 

That's my plan for now.

Hopefully I can get started and make some progress today

Stay safe

 Our lawyer grand kid's , Michael and Ashley came and  Our New Yorker , Tatum for a visit yesterday. She is down for a week for a friends wedding. Their parent Chris and Amy are in Mexico for a wedding of Amy's friend . A friend from Gainesville, Ga. where they live.

I love making blocks from this book!

Our Weekend

Hi friends!

My new kitchen curtains!
 I am fuming today, got a letter saying they were going to sue us over a book that we didn't order! I have always heard that if they send you something you didn't order, it's yours! Plus it cost to send that stupid thing back. And all it is is a summery of magazines we already gotten and  paid for.

I guess we want be ordering their magazine again! Thing is we get about three of their magazines every month!

We get "Farm and Ranch", "Country" and "Country Extra"!  Already paid for the next year, "county " is paid for two years.

This morning I was thinking about ordering their "Reminisce" Magazine. Want now!!!!

After our company Friday night, I realized I had   forgotten to take picture's.

I cooked gravy , Steak and Biscuits and baked beans for my sis, and my sis-in-laws birthday.

Sis's birthday is March 16 but she was on Vacation and Sis-in-law's is in April so we make it sometime between.

I told you last week I finished and gave the t-shirt quilt to My daughter-in -laws Sis   last Thursday.

This t-shirt quilt!

I also made her a stack of Kitchen things to carry to her son. Promised her I would make her a few to.

Made this for Sis.

Made my sis-in-law one with M.D.

Didn't have enough to spell hers out. Plus It would have been hugh!

Have a good one and stay safe.
