Nette's quilt

Hi friends!

Another rainy day!

This makes 8 days!!!!

I added another churn dash to it and it measures 27 by 27, needs one more!

I was busy quilting a quilt on my other quilting blog yesterday and this is all i got done to it.

I opened my Snow by Moda and was shocked.  Snow in the south is blinding white !
This looks more like snow ice cream!!!
Guess i will have to buy some white today!

Have a great day friends

Nette's quilt

Hi friends!

Rainy day[I am so tired of them}

Yesterday i asked my self what i wanted to sew on and myself said this!!!!

It;s going to be the center of my daughter's quilt.  I am going to put two more churn dash's on it before i am finished with the middle block of her quilt.  It will match her pillows.
I have got to get started on Mark's quilt next , so i will be working on two quilt's.

All my flowers are sitting down inside the back porch so maybe the storm's want destroy them.

Our Garden is water logged and we have lost one tomato plant  to it.  Gardens don't like being flooded.

If it doesn't stop soon every thing will rot and we want make much.

I was giving away what we hadn't eaten out of the freezer but Tommy said to wait because we might not have any thing to put back in it.

Prayers for Sandie , she is having surgery today.

Have a great sewing day friends.

Hi friends!
Another rainy day!
Last Saturday i started to change the bed and knew i Had to make a pillowcase.  Last week i just washed and dried the pillow case i had on Tommy's big pillow and put it back on.  Sew i made him one , of course he's comment was " Flowers?"

I made it a little big because they always shrink a little.  I like it but i love all kinds of beautiful fabric.

Yesterday we visited brother and sis and their grands went in swimming even through i had on a long sleeve shirt and sweatpants.

They didn't stay in long because the water was cold, too much rain and not enough sun.!!!

Have a great sewing day friends.

Pillow's for my baby!

Hi friends!

Rainy day!

Yesterday was my daughter's birthday., so i made two of these blocks and bought two queen sized pillow's

Backed them both with this floral pattern fabric.

And made two pillow's just alike!

After the race went off, by the way little E won!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think he is just the nicest one racing!!

Tommy always watches Nascar!!

We drove up to my daughter's and gave her her pillows.  I made them large because when you wash them they will shrink a little.  I am going to make her another quilt because the first one i made was her's and you know it wasn't great, the second one was for red haired daughter so i will be making her another this year too.

With the grands i still need to do 5 queen sized and two twins to finish up their's.

It may be next year before i get all those done.

Wow!! That's a lot of quilt's!

Have a great sewing day friends.

Friday Finish

HERE is the link to my followers giveaway that ends tomorrow. Be sure to sign up!!!

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
I finished this yesterday but it was to late to take our side pictures and i was afraid that i might not get the chance today.
But i did!!

It finished at 60" by 75 ". Before i washed it , it was 64" by 80"

Don't know whether the lose of inches is due to the Muslin backing are not.

I used two big pieces of muslin and sewed them together for the backing and that stripe for the binding.  Every thing on the front is the  best quilting cotton.  It has a lot of the same fabric that the first quilt had in it and a little more that i had found when i straighten my fabric.  Plus one more scrap that sis gave me.

Have a great sewing day friends.

Binding Lane's Quilt

Hi friends!
Rainy day!
I got my binding sewed on, then you have to trim very carefully.

Trim good with your binding laying on top of your quilt like this.

This is where i started, before i went to bed i had two sides done!

Should finish it tonight and wash it in the morning.

I like that stripe for a binding for a child's quilt

Have a wonderful sewing day Friends.

Lane's Quilt

Here

Hi friends!                                                                                         is the link to my Followers Giveaway

Beautiful day!                                                 

Last Friday a week ago  i started this quilt for Mark's son Lane.

Then i didn't sew for a week except for letting Alisha add some little blocks on.

I started back working on it last Friday and it growed fast.

I sandwiched it Monday night and yesterday the girls did some of the quilting for me.  I quilted it in wavy lines so they could handle that.

Now all i like is sewing the binding on and trimming it and hand sewing the binding down and maybe i will have a Friday finish.

Have a wonderful sewing day friends.

Random day

Hi friends!

Beautiful day! This is my Craftsy  order.  They had 4 yards of Kona snow for 25 dollars.  They had a sell last week and i grabbed some.

I use a lot of white.  It just seems to make your colors pop!
I made this last Friday before the world tilted. I have had nothing on my mind but my sweet daughter and her problems  since
It's for Marks son Lane's quilt.  I did two rows of his quilt don't know whether i had blogged about them or not.

.That's as far as i got.

That last frost got the ends of some of our trees .  That happens every few years.  May not have even noticed if i worked like i used to. When you work you don't have time to notice things like that.
Have a great sewing day friends.

The Grands

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
I have me a sewer!!!
My granddaughter Alisha wanted to learn to sew and did really good.

While my daughter was in the hospital we keep her youngest Sat. night and SundayWe took them home Monday after she called and said they were going to let her come home,  It's a hour away but feed the kids , took them home and waited at least 2 hours after we got to the hospital for them to release her. All hospitals are the same , it takes forever for them to move.
She is doing better !
I am trying to get her a good family DR. for the last few years she has used the wellness center at work and they usually have pretty good Dr's but not now!!
Hoping to hear from them today to get appt. for new patient, they alot more time for those.
I have my cell phone in my pocket but if they don't call by 3 o'clock I will call them back.
This Dr, stays open until 6 and my daughter get off work at 4: 30.
Most Dr. don't stay open long enough for first shift people to see them.
Have a great sewing day friends, maybe I will get back to sewing soon.
