Sandwiching and Steps to making a Wreath

Hi friends!
I sandwiches this quilt yesterday!
Plus i worked on my sis in laws wreath.
I had two that i had iron interfacing on already.
I cut backing fabric and sewed them together right sides facing and leaving a hole to turn it.
This one is turned and ironed , now close the opening with pins.
This is what a wreath looks like! I made it after Christmas.
I did two yesterday and then sewed them together.
Maybe i will have tiome to work on it some more this weekend.
Have a good one

Yesterday

Hi friends!
I am still doing strips of 2 by 6 inch colors for my second border.
I at least have those on!
Can't decide what size the next white border will be, Maybe three inches!
Maybe i can decide today and get those on!
I cut some yesterday on my sis in laws Christmas wreath , just a little because we were expecting company.
Not a good picture but Tommy is by Roger like he is my brother Howard , non stop talking.
Good to spend some time with them.
Have a good one

Birthday Dinner and winnings

Hi friends!
I cooked dinner for my two kids yesterday, birthday dinner! Both of them have June birthdays.
I also gave my daughter her birthday quilt.
My son held up his sister's quilt!
My fence picture!
I made her a set of pillow cases to match!

I at least found a quilt pattern that Amy loved, when i showed her my tumbler quilt top , she wanted one just like that.
So i will be cutting some more tumblers to go with the ones i had left from that quilt top.
Sat. the mail man brought me a book i won from  HERE
It's " crafted Applique by Lara Buccella from HERE
I wanted it so bad that i visited nearly every blog in the hop and entered.
Can't wait to try some of the things she did.

Menlo Q B's

Hi friends!
Don't forget the Followers Giveaway   HERE
Last night was our quilt meeting. We named our group Menlo Q B's.
We all tried to do a knot and then tried our hand out small quilting stitches.
Mine look like Morse code small , large, small large. But i intend to practice for the next month so maybe i will get better.
Every one was looking at Bonnie's quilt.
I worked with her for years but didn't quilt then so didn't know she quilted.
Her quilt!
She makes and quilt's each hexagon before adding them together.
A lady that i have forgotten her name made the next one.
Each one is very small!
That's a lot of work!
We had a great time. Have a great weekend

Daughter's Quilt

Hi friends!
Don't forgot my followers giveaway   HERE
Binding my daughter's quilt.
Her birthday was yesterday but i want see her til the weekend.
I have been working on binding it for a couple of days. Just work on it after i finish reading  my email at night or when the news is on in the after noon.
This is it spread out on the bed.
It has a real good drop on each side and is plenty long enough.
In a way i wish i hadn't used the yellow because it fades next to the other bright colors.
Not enough to take the whole thing apart!!!
My Rose of Sharron bush is blooming , my mother always called them holly hark.
The one i brought over here from my old house was 15 years old and died last year.
But i still have the two that sis gave me a few years ago. This one is doing good but Tommy's
 says i planted the other one on rock!
I am going to try to give it some tree food and see if that helps it, it's really short and it was planted at the same time as this one.
Have a good one

My New Quilt

Hi friends!
Don't forgot the giveaway    HERE
My new quilt i started last week.
These are additive!
What's so bad is i have almost that much tumbles still stacked up on my cutting table!
But am just making a lap quilt for another Aunt so i did white around these.
I cut the edges so i had a straight line to add to.
It's hard to see in this but i added a strip of colored two by 6 inch strips along that side of the white.
I stopped there because i didn't know if that was the look i wanted. But i don't want to get real big and i was going to add another white  strip after the colored ones.
You can see it a little better here.
It doesn't show up much on that quilt i have on my bed.
Another one almost ready for quilting.
Have a good one

Daughter's quilt

Hi friends!  Don't forget my Followers Giveaway  HERE
Got the quilt quilted !
It's big!
Nearly a king.
I quilted it with stars and loops.
Then i trimmed it off, , when i turned it over i found some extra sewed into the quilting so i had to take that out.
But i should be through by Sunday.
Her birthday is tomorrow.
Didn't feel good yesterday so didn't even turn the light on in my sewing room.
But i did go into the back porch and brought some more things and pilled then on my cutting table to go through today.
I keep finding fabric in my totes!
Have a good one
