Vicki and I are going to town!!!  we have started sewing the roses to our bear paw blocks. 

I didn't get a picture of Vicki's.  I will add it next time.  Wasn't sure if I liked it or not.  but looking at it now, I really do!!!  next up a red rose I think!

We have a little snowman table runner ready for hand sewing.

Vicki sewed these little baby steps for us and I need to start the embroidery!

I have the last side borders for my cheddar that is pink quilt ready to sew on!!! 

And we went to Sassy's for lunch.  Which is always good. 

Toni introduced me to lemon drop cupcakes.  So I had to have one.  OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!  I might have to try this at home.  so good...... 

so no finishes, but lots of sewing time and laughter.  Vicki is here this week too.  lets see what we can get done! 

hugs....

A little hint!

Hi everyone!  I have been madly sewing in preparation for the Wicked blog hop.  Mercy, the pile seems to be growing, not going down!!!

Earlier in the week, Bruce and I were in Palm Springs, CA.  It was a business trip for my hubby. 

This is what I was working on.....

 

And this.......

 

 

 

 

binding is almost done.  I am really loving this quilt! 



All the rows are done.  I am home now and sewing rows together.  And it's looking good!  yeah!! 

What I am working on

Hi everyone,  I had a great day today!  in fact a great week!  I had a little class at Scrapbook ETC, lunch with Cyndi, shopping - I know I was bad, again. Lunch with Mary, more shopping.  I can really explain!  needed backing for a quilt and some yardage for another.  I didn't buy anything that wasn't for a project. 

Anyway,  I was working on my blessing quilt.  I was able to finish embroidering the last sashing strip, sew on the first border, and square up 128 2" half square triangles.  Now I need to make 52 more half square triangles and I can finish the 2nd border. 

 

Does that look like 128 half square triangles? it is, I promise! 

 

 

I promise I will share soon.  but things are coming along nicely.  Today I am off to 3 Dudes  to sew with Monica, Cyndi and Toni.  Yeah, still haven't decided what to work on, since I have so many to choose from.  but I will figure it out. 

 

Hugs....

It's a wonderful Life.....

OK, the pics are out of order. not sure how I did this! This is a pic from today. our little swarm....explanation is down further on the blog. sorry about no make up, but we had a great time!

Yesterday was a wonderful day! I spent the day with Thornberries and then got to spend some time with Gunner man. we went to McD's for Ice Cream! Yum! Judy finished her top. she said she bought the kit in Houston. it's made with big chenille squares and flannel. it looks soooo cuddly! is that a word? LOL!

I should have been sewing!!!

hi again, I have been playing with my cricut! more than anything I want to make a grandmother's flower garden quilt. been thinking about it forever! do I need another project - NO!!! but I was thinking I could cut out the templates with my cricut. well this afternoon, I finally sat down and figured it out! I used the program Sure Cuts Alot. I can now cut out 21 templates at a time. I am sooo excited! AND I really feel smart for doing it! Kay and Scrappy Dew on the SCAL4beginers yahoo group helped me figure it out. Now to cut the templates, get out some of my 30's fabric, and I will have my little kit ready to go. Now if you want the template, they are scut files. you will have to email me to get them. I have no idea how to do it any other way! doing the happy dance here!!

yeah!!
