Post a picture she said...

So here is my Jinny Beyer Harlequin Charm top done, just need to attach the mitered borders. I never buy kits, so this has been a fun departure. I think I will hand quilt this? We shall see.

Get a beverage and enjoy the sunset.....

These pictures don't do the spectacle justice, it was so beautiful! Hope your day was just as stunning. I'm bow tie-ing....what a lovely day.







Whooee! Snow Day

   Better late than never! Sunshine this morning......quit service early, slid into my driveway (a controlled slide) made up my mind to stay home, then our Bible study called and cancelled! So now I'm in my fleece Mickey Mouse shirt, looking for a book!
   We had a big, intrepid group out, but by noon, most were back at the KH collecting cars.......

My favorite kind of day!

What a difference three hours makes. The first picture was taken at 7:30, the last at 11:45. Beautiful both times.

....

I spent a great morning with Jane and got my first, yes you heard right....my first block all stitched down. Whoo hoo!! Four months but if i would have shut up maybe you wouldn't have remembered. Hehe. Also added to my bow ties! I love, love, love how these turn out. Going to need fifty gazillion to finish but the journey is very fun. I hear that is what it is all about.
Exciting meeting ahead......see ya there! :0)



Another quick project done!

Made pillowcases for my niece and nephews coming to visit. There's nothing like a new pillow!!

Long overdue project done!

My nephew is only four! These were blocks signed by people at his baby shower. I sewed them into a quilt and got the binding done this morning.

The close up is my block from the shower.

Addicting!

It's growing. Not fast but really fun. I'm afraid you will have to keep watching this grow because I just wanna see the pattern unfold.

This is a biography I am thoroughly enjoying! And I got it second hand.

Happy Anniversary, Bud and Jeannie!

Yep, that's today! Maybe we should all give them a call to congratulate them. <3

Woot! Woot! Part 5 is Done!

Great to be caught up, but I'm getting set to be behind again since we will have company for a bit.

Our inspiration for the bowties

I guess there ARE 16 bows in each block.




Puttering

This and Job and Richard Jury have kept me busy today!

Just playing and wondering...

Playing with the pieces


Bows.....

Well these things go slowly! Seems like I have been making these all day. They don't grow very quickly, but they are fun to sew. Hope your day is as enjoyable.

Paired geese

Ok, I'm goosed out! But they are made and paired. Still have to cut the 3 1/2 in. Squares from the end of part 4. Then onto part 5. Whew! It's a bit of work to get caught up!

Part four...almost done!

So I'm still a bit behind, but I have parts one thru three completely done. The 64 geese from part 4 are stitched, just need final pressing and trimming. I don't know how they'll all go together, but I laid out a "block" that we **might** do?!


How's everyone else doing?

shaded 4 patch

Finally got to use color in mine. Linda you were right, they were fun to do! Also had a wonderfull day in service with the Norvells. It even stopped raining!  :D)

Part Three Done




Whoa, I'm done!!! I enjoyed making this block, but need to get the seams the same, so there all the same size. Or I am doing something terribly wrong

Invitation

Linda, I didn't mean to leave you out of service arrangements! If you're not working, come join us...... that includes any and all who are not working! And for you hard-working sisters, my sympathy and we'll see you on the weekend! I'll try to take notes and share what he teaches us!

Cutting done for parts 2 & 3 of mystery

I'm a little behind since my geese aren't done yet. I have about 85 sewn now. All the rest are cut. Part 3 is cut now too. Sewing soon...probably not much until the weekend after service.
