Q-Bee's

Hi friends!
We had our July meeting of the Q-Bee's last night. They were watching Dejoyla hand quilt because they joined a little latter than the rest.
She gave a very interesting discussion on color.

This is Bonnie's , she hand stitch's every quilt she makes, hand makes the blocks and hand quilts them.

This is Bonnie and another one of her quilts.

This is Gladys, Beautiful!

Charlotte's Nursing home quilt pattern. She had shoulder surgery so is just now starting back with  her sewing

 Dianne Finished her wall hanging.

This is her nursing home quilt, lovely!

As part of the color presentation she had us draw squiggle's with our eyes closed  and then color them.
Coloring and I don't get along!

Faye has already finish one quilt for the nursing home. Beautiful!
until next time

Today!

Hi friends!
I also found out a couple of days ago that Wayne does not like the falcons or sports. So I put all his blocks up and pulled out all my blocks that I just made for no reason. It should be very colorful!
I was trying to find a non frilly border for it and though about   this but looks like I need to keep looking.

It may not be frilly but it really doesn't look like it will work with this.
I need some thing bright, it not finished just about half way . But his birthday is less than two weeks and I must finish it by then.

I'm still plugging away with this to and I need to look for binding for it. Should be finished soon.
Have a good one

New Bag

Hi friends!
Last night i decided i wanted a bag to carry my stuff to Q-Bee's.
Some one had sent me one but i looked and looked and couldn't find it.
Cut two pieces of fabric and another two for the lining and sandwiched it and quilted them.

Then sewed then together! Made we two skinny straps and placed then where i wanted them added a two inch strip on top of them and sewed them down putting extra stitches into where the straps were pinned.
then flipped it over pinned it fold into down where it was fairly even and sewed over the bottom and then around the top.

All packed and ready for our meeting tomorrow.

Some one who will remain anonymous sent me this cow bag that holds all my little stuff, plus my quilt top for our project and a fat quarter for a game.
All ready!

Quilting and Planing

Hi friends!
I finally got my light so now I can see to quilt my vintage farm girl quilt.
My gloves that I bought years ago  got so stretched they would slide off my hands so I am using gardening gloves.
They work just fine.

I put some blocks together on Wayne's quilt. Then I talked to him on face book and asked him if he wanted what I had though about putting on his quilt and he said yes!
I looked and looked for a panel for teen age games but didn't find anything so I am putting his name in the middle and a little something else.
I will start on that when I take a brake from quilting .
Much work to do today because Wayne's birthday is the last day of this month.

Q-Bees Quilt

Hi friends!
I finally got it right!
Picked the border!

This should be bright enough!

Trimmed some blocks for Wayne's quilt. I have been looking for a panel for the middle but haven't found any thing.

If I find something this might be enough for a queen sized quilt.
Have a good weekend

Today

Hi friends!
Do you see what I did?
I noticed at 2:30 during the night and just grabbed a ripper and ripped  it apart .
And it's still laying there!
Maybe I will have time to put it back later today.

I sewed this together and it lays flat.
Miracle!

Got this yesterday from Mabel Designs , a etsy shop and she sent me a free roll of ribbons.
Going to make pillows for Missy for a late birthday present . Her birthday was in Feb.!
All I like now  is Abby's and her birthday is in Nov.
I am so behind!
It has rained every day for over a week. Tommy is about crazy because the grass and ground is so wet he can't mow.
If it doesn't slow down every thing in the garden is going to rot.
Cooks, where we go to get produce until ours comes in is having it rough because of the rain. Their tomato's have been rotting.
Tommy said ours have black places on them to.
Last year we couldn't buy rain now it doesn't want to stop. I feel for farmers that make a living from their produce.
Have a good one

This and That

Hi friends!
We celebrated the Forth with family and friends!

We all picked on this sweetie.
 My cousins grandson or great grand son ?

From left to right, Mia, Mel ,Amy and Anna , Mel is my niece .
We had a great time catching up and a very good pot luck dinner after.
 We had a storm not long before we started but the kids got into the pool any way
We don't get to see all these people very often so we made up for lost time.
About all i did yesterday was play with my new ruler.

Can't wait to make something with it.
Just what i needed another project to start!!!
Just working on three quilts and finally got every thing for Addie's quilt so that will make four.
Have a good one

Have Fun, Stay Safe

Things!

Hi friends!
My black that I ordered for Addie Lou's quilt came with a big surprise.

They sent me this for free! They are saleing  their on fabric now!

I ironed this on both sides and carried it to where I quilt , set my machine up and plugged it in but no light. My light had blown!
I don't have one either so can't quilt it until I get one.
I bought me something!
Usually I just by fabric I need for a project but I wanted these so I got them!

Now I am ready for any size tri-angle I run into .
Have a great forth
