I haven’t been writing or doing much of anything the past few weeks, but that has changed.  I have decided to not stress over what I can’t change and enjoy things as they come. I have been trying my hand on hand stitching wool project.  I think I do like this.  Having something on handContinue reading “Ups and Downs”

The last few days I have been working on a wool mini quilt.  It has been fun.  I am somewhat glad the machine is in the shop, because it has given me time to relearn some embroidery stitches that I haven’t used in a long time.  I think I will have to do more ofContinue reading

Hubby surprised me with a “Road Trip>”  We left Wed, mid morning and went to Batesville, AR. to Marshall’s Dry Goods. It is a large fabric warehouse and is open to the public. I was disappointed when I got there and found out that 1/2 the store in the warehouse is only for business orContinue reading “Such a wonderful few days”

I finished the quilt top and now trying to decide on the borders.  Original idea was green, but the shades of green are taking over so I am thinking of a Wine color with a light purple(not lavender).  What do you think would be good?The blue gets lost, and I do like the wine.  Suggestions?Continue reading “Top finished”

I have been working on my Illusions Quilt, yard work, and family things, totally forgetting to keep up our blog. I have 3 rows of the Illusions Quilt together and hopefully tonight I will be able to finish piecing.  I can already see the different circles in it.   5 blocks left to piece.  IContinue reading “Can’t believe I am so behind”

Actually I don’t have the date for this flyer, but if you notice the price for quilting you will have some sort of idea. I got this in a bunch of things at an auction.  Was fun to see the items in Pizza boxes.  Sorry, no Pizza’s. Any suggestions of the dates of this? MyContinue reading “Quilting from long ago.”

Blocks B-E are finished and Block A is almost finished.  Maybe tonight I will have those finished.  Then put the rows together.  These are the blocks and then the layout for these.  I want to get these ready for the quilting by the weekend.  Let’s just hope my plans work out.  Seldom do they, butContinue reading “A Little Closer to being Finished”

I can’t believe that July is almost over.  I need to remember how hot the days have been with temps at 90 and up, but the humidity 10 degrees higher, this winter when it is 0 or below.  The last 2 weeks have been busy but now it is slowing down and I can spendContinue reading “July is almost over”

I started this Illusions quilt a while back and then had to put it aside for many other things happening, so now I am working on it today.  Maybe I will get it finished….17 blocks finished and 31 more to go. I am happy to be working on this again.  I am enjoying paper piecing.Continue reading “In process”

Good morning all.  I have been quilting a lap quilt so I have been quiet the last few days.  I have been working on a lap quilt pattern I tested for a lady and yesterday at 5:30 pm I finished it.  I quilted in every seam and then stitched more in the black.  Now onContinue reading “Finished and now a new project?”
