Giveaway

There is a nice halloween giveaway.  Go check it out.

It's a Happy Halloween Giveaway!

I am still around quilters!!!!!

Yes, I am still here and quilting!  I have done a very poor job of posting on my blog lately.  I am here to remedy that one.  I have several projects in the works.  Actually, I think I am having my own Quilters ADD workshop!  I have so many projects started and none finished.  Oh well, I don't think I am alone here.  Right?  Right!

I did go on my very first shop hop with some very good friends and had a great time.  I took one picture.  I was having way too much fun touching all the fabric.  I must do that again!  I kept all the addresses of the quilt shops so that I could return sometime.  They are not all that far from my home.  I think I might be able to talk my quilting buddy, Regina into going with me..................?

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that I am alive and giving my husband grief!  And sewing some....................must do more!!!!!

Happy Quilting!

Happy Birthday!

My niece is turning 2 on Monday.  I did not know what to get a 2 year old that has everything.  I mean, how many toys can one 2 year old play with.  I decided to make her a small quilt that she can drag around.  I used 8 1/2 inch blocks.  I used a pink striped flannel for the blocks for the back.  It went together pretty quickly.  I started Thursday morning and had it snipped and washed by Friday afternoon.  Hope she likes it!

Another UFO finish!

I just finished another UFO!  This is my autumn table quilt.  It is from the "Peaches and Dreams"pattern from Judy L.  I had to make a few adjustments to make it fit the table.  I still need to quilt it.

A START TO FINISH!

Today I spent a lovely day sewing with my friend Regina.  We did more talking than sewing, but I did get two pillow cases completed.  This is a kit from Connecting Threads.  

The first Christmas project I have done this year!  Aren't they cute!

THIS WEEKEND........

I spent some time outside this weekend.  The flowers are dying,  it smells and feels like fall is on it's way.  Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love the colors and the weather.  I like to clean up the flower beds and make them fresh for spring.

I was sitting under the pergola having coffee Saturday morning, enjoying the sunshine.  Looking around, I saw a very pretty green toad sitting on the edge of the lattice side.  He looked like a ceramic statue, but I could see his throat moving.  He was only about 2.5 to 3 inches in size.

Then looking around more, on the other lattice side, there was another toad.  He was not quite as pretty, but much smaller.  Not more than and inch, maybe a tad more but not much.

I think they were also enjoying the sunshine!  It was a nice morning and then the sun disappeared.  The rain showed up Saturday night late and Sunday morning.................

MAKING PROGRESS!

Just received some great caffe fabric.  Just love it!  I am going to make some valances for my bay window and small window over the kitchen sink.  Not sure when I will get them done.  I still have to make the curtain for the sewing room.................... much to do, little time!

Working on my fall "Peaches and Dreams".  These are the small squares for the outer border.

Here is what I have done so far.  All the blocks are sewn together and I have two borders on.  Needs one more 2 inch border before the small blocks border.  I want to get it done before fall is over and it is time for Christmas.  I better work faster.......................!!!!!!!!!
