Old Quilt Tops

Hi friends!
I spread out this very old quilt top made by either Tommy's mother or grandmother to pin the places it had come apart.
Sewed those up and started to iron and found a least a hundred more where it had frayed and pulled lose from the other fabric.

So as i spray starched and ironed, i took it to the sewing machine and fix each section as i went.

This is the last section and it's has pins here and there.
Maybe i can finish it today and start to put it together.

This is 24 yards of unbleached muslin that i bought for the backs of all the quilt tops.
I just hope it's enough to do four for the girls for Christmas.
With a 50 percent  off coupon from Jo Ann's i got it for 99 cents a yard.
It's more like what would have been used when they made these tops many years ago. I wish i new who made them but their was some sewing machine seams where some one had tried to fix them before, i guess his mother because she had a machine but so did his grand mother i think, a treadle!
We will never know because his mother died a few years ago at the age of 91 and for years before that she didn't answer questions.
Have a good one

Deers and squares

Hi friends!
I already have 5 of these blocks already quilted!
So i should make another quilt with them, Right?

I went out to take clothes out of the dryer and there was a deer in our yard.
By the time i got my camera he was across the street.

between one shot to another he just disappeared!
That fence is pretty high but Tommy says they can jump over it!
To bad i didn't get a shot of that.

I added two more rows of three inch squares around the car's on Dawson's quilt. But spent most of the day sitting with Tommy, he was really sick.
Yesterday he got up with a breaking out all over him so i called the Dr.s office and went and picked up some more pills.
 Now he is taking a z-pack plus benadryl but he's a little better today.
Getting sick on the weekend when your Dr is out of his office doesn't work!
Me i just go to the closest Dr i can find but not Hubby!
Maybe he is on his way to recovery now.

Two Finish's

Hi friends!
I started this a few days ago but didn't have enough binding to finish it.
So when we went to Walmart i got some and over the weekend i finished it up.

All finished now!
And the other one!

This is the one that had a wreck on my newest machine!
But the problem was the thread and it went into the trash!
So that's two finish's!
Two more to add to the stack of baby things for our soon to be g-g's
Have a great one

Small Finish

Hi friends!
A Monday Finish!
A very simple Christmas table runner.

See how dry every thing is here , we are in extreme drought!

I just got back from carrying Tommy to the Dr.
He though he might have strep because so much of that is going around but the swab said different!
He gave him antibiotics to combat a sinus infection.
I tried to get him to go to the urgent care but he is stubborn.
As long as his lungs are clear!
Have a good one

Scraps and a router

Hi friends!
Day before yesterday i needed more three inch squares so i spent the afternoon cutting them up.

Now it's full again.
I need to cut every weekend so i can empty some totes on the back porch.
When i got up yesterday i turned on my internet and it worked for a while and went off. I messed with things started and restarted it and it came on for a few minutes and went off again. My router was nearly 5 years old and the cheapest. So we  went  to walmart and got a new one. The last one you installed with a c.d.,not this one!
My computer is just a year old and i hadn't installed any thing on it so it took me a while to figure it out. Buy then i was so tired i didn't do anything else .
Amazing how tired you can be clicking on things for nearly two hours!
I had it on by 4 and i started after my hair apt. at 2 !
I stopped to load and unload the dryer and other things , so i wouldn't pull my hair out!
It would tell me to close it down and restart my computer and then i would lose the installer.
Oh well it's done for a few years maybe.
Have a great weekend

Yesterday and New bib fabric for Sable

Hi friends!
Yesterday i went through my stack of baby things and realized i had not made burp cloth's for my monkey bibs and i still needed to make another bib for a burp cloth so i did that.

One bib i really didn't have enough fabric left so i pieced it.

This came this morning , fabric i ordered for Sable.

That completed the matching sets. Going to have to find some flannel to make Bentley's brother's a blanket because i made Sable one. I did get another car finished.

On his quilt!
I need some ideas for Sable a quilt but i am sure i will see something i love before to much longer.
We went to the funeral of my nephew today. He was 64 years old and had cancer.
 He was just a child when i married my first husband many years ago.
Have a good one

Baby Things

Hi friends!
I made two John Deer one's bibs so far, if i can find more scraps from that quilt i will try to make a few more.
Sable's Mother told me she would love to have some. And i know Bentley's little brother will like them.
I started Bentley's little brother's quilt. As soon as they decide on a name i will change that!

I cut out another car for it but haven't finished it yet.
Thinking about maybe some tractors to or a truck!

The back of Sables!
I got some pink binding to do her a precious moments bib to.

Her's will be pink trimmed.
Have a good one

Sable's Blanket

Hi friends!
Missy's youngest son and his wife are having a girl so i get to do little girl things.
Her Dora blanket!
These are quick to work up and i used one of the stitches on my brother 6000.

It doesn't have a lot of good stitches but this one is a vine with leaves on both sides.

I bought this flannel with this in mind but we have had boys since then , I did make Olivia one before she was born just recently.
That Brother 6000 is bad to pull lots of thread up from the bobbin and mess up the stitch.
It's the one i bought me for Christmas last year. It had good reviews but it not as good as my big brother. Of course i gave 7 times as much money for it but i needed one to do zig zag to fix Tommy's work clothes.
It did it once while i was working on this.

I guess it would work for a boy but i just think girl when i see Dora.
Have a good one
