A solid project

I am having too much fun

Wish I could stay home and play

These little 4 patches look so cute

Surrounded in solids

It would even make a cute baby quilt 

Of course i have no idea yet what i am making lol

Just 2.5 squares surrounded by 2.5 inch strips

Easy and cute and bonus 2.5 squares

Out of the leftovers

Dunkin did a cat scan to test my seams

Then did the roll test for

Softness and durability

Then the stretch test for size...

With that big butt Dunks I think 

I better keep sewing for a bit longer

Black sheep black sheep have you any wool

Ok not wool  but three skeins full

I started this scarf number 4 at the garage

While I waited for oil change and tire

Rotation

(Hey remember that camera angle my leg looks thin lol)

It is about half done

So a couple nights of

Knitting should finish it off 

And Three skeins will be

Outta the stash

(CAN YOU SEE ME DOING THE HAPPY DANCE? GO ME LOL)

A little secret sewing

How fun are these

A little secret sewing 

Can't tell you what I am doing 

Or who it is for

But having fun 

How can you not love this cat

Or this cute square 

Thanks to Julie for gifting me

This is me right now 

Buzz buzz............

You hear my machine?

farmgirl vintage

I have been a bad leader.......

I NEED TO KEEP GOING ON THIS QUILT

the raccoon block is a challenge for me right now

sooooooooo

I think I need to get with Jacky and pick two more blocks

for the month of MAY

anyone making a farmgirl?  I may try and do some

of the 12 inch blocks. saw the cutest quilt

made of 12 inch blocks

not many are needed to make a small lap

or wall

a cute sheep for Easter

a pumpkin for the Fall

the mixer for the kitchen

teakettle

any interest? or should I just finish mine on my own.........

The gift that keeps on giving

See these cuties?

As I was sewing my geese blocks

I used the squatrs JulieRose gave

Me as leaders and enders

And voila  a pile of them

Was born in no time

And as you know I got some cool

Solids from Vrooman recently

Not to mention the mailroom Stash

So I  added solids around them 

And  played with layout

Not like i have any ufos to

Work on hee hee

See this julie

STILL have half a baggie

And i made these too

For another quilt

Love my quilty friends

dresdens

anyone interested in making dresdens?

I was thinking of doing a project for everyone to join in 

that would be a small table topper

but made with the help of your friends

what do you think?  

anyone?  

I could give everyone the pattern

and then you would trade a dresden blade

with everyone and we would each make our dresden

color of our choice into a topper or wall hanging

anyone?

Four more blocks

 

I am having so much fun with this

Quilt and these scraps

I only need 4 blocks

But will make a few extra to play

With arrangement

Now the hard question

Background white?

Gray like my walls?

Or black?

Hmmmmm......

What say you????

You color my world

I am almost done with a top

The color placement will be the

Next challenge as I have a design

Floor not a wall. It also comes with

Cat-auto block removal but that

Feature is broken and blocks get

Removed before I can take pictures

Lol

Not sure if the colors I have will all

Work. The black blocks kinda stick out

We will see later when the setting color

Is chosen......thinking gray to match my

Bedroom

Then after that the 

challenge

Will be saving to have it quilted

I cant handle one that large

This is what I have been eating lots of

Lately

Fruits and veggies and less processed 

A guy at work is doing whole 30 diet

It is very restrictive but is supposed

To clean your body of toxins and

Make you feel better

He is on day 3 and says he has more

Energy

I need energy so wanted to give it a try

Am slowly preparing as i have lots of 

Things like dairy and oatmeal which are not allowed 

I was already on no sugar and no fake sweetener so that part is ok

Breakfast will be hard for me

My goto is oatmeal with fruit

Grains not allowed

Then after the 30 days you reintroduce

The dairy and grains etc and see how

Your body reacts

If negatively you have 

mild allergy

And should avoid that food 

And lately these teas are a fav

Need ways to help me destress

And get this bloodpressure down

Hubs has more health issues and it

Is difficult to take so much time off at work

To deal with it all

But this too shall pass.....

Anyone else heard of whole 30?

Tried it? 

I love veggies so the hard part will be

All the prepping ahead so I  dont falter

Solids and liquids

In school did you learn about solids and

Liquids and gasses? Lol

Ice and water and vapor

Why I thought of that this morning is

A mystery to me 

I  got this huge box in the mail

Noooooopppeee

I didnt order from Jenny

I won it at vroomans blog

She was clearing out solids and i

Just happen to be lacking solids

Lookie at all this

WOW 

LOTS to play with

There are even stratas sewn

Look at this

Can you say SQUIRREL 

I feel another play session coming on......

THANKS SHARON FOR MY NEW 

STASH

This may become a second quilt

I really like the cool colors 

Of blue green and purple

And may need to make one

I should have enough stash!

This is what i found today waking up

Does this look comfy?

I  give up

The majority of tablecloths etc were 

Moved and dishware put in but he still

Gets in there grrrrrr

All my blocks so far

Getting there..........

What are you making?

I have to sew faster

I need to sew faster

All these quilts started and no dent in the stash 

They keep multiplying lol

Here are all the HST cut from my geese

I know I know they are tiny 

I will play with them another day

Baskets? Tree of life?

Feathered star?

I prepped more of these

And cut more fabric

Blocks 2.5 and some

Geese 2.5 x 4.5

See? Messy i know but Full

I cant even put the mailroom

Stash in yet

May need   to

Make some pillowcases to move some

Pieces out

These smell so nice in my sewing room 

Have to keep there because of cats

I start my day smelling these and sewing

What could be better?

Found this in ufo pile

4 blocks sewn together 

Would you make a table topper or baby quilt as is?

Use as medallion and keep going?

These are some of my 2.5 squares

I keep making things out of them

And I 

Thought my geese would deplete my stash

Seems those geese are like rabbits and 

Multiply instead! 

Thanks Julierose

Julie I made all of these blocks

From the squares (my half mind you)

And look how beautiful they are

The three orange ones will go with

One project and the others will be in my

Geese quilt 

I AM THRILLED TO PIECES

but

I HAVE TO ASK YOU

are these trick squares?

I think they multiply

I SWEAR I KEPT them in the baggie

By themselves and LOOK!

STILL stuffed and cant shut it

YOU TELL ME HOW THAT HAPPENS

if that little fabric makes all this

Then I have a room with a potential

Of 1000 or more quilts

LOL

thanks for making my day

(Ps  dont tell Jacky but I think I 

Got the prettiest squares)

Did too did too!

I get by with a little help from my friends

My good friend JulieRose of julierosequilts

Sent me and Jacky a package

She always makes it so purty

And fancy..... with a cute card

Look at all this goodness!

Jacky and I started 

Splitting up the spoils

It started out very

Amicably........

Then there were some that both

Of us liked.......

A fight ensued...

Some squares got thrown 

And 

With kicking and screaming and

Husbands seperating us to

Avoid injury or jail time 

Lets just say we didn't always see

Eye to eye

After all, these are some FUN SQUARES

To play with

But when the dust settled 

We were both very happy

With our new stash enhancements

And are friends again....... lol

THANKS JULIEROSE! 

From the both if us. .........

You will be seeing these squares 

In a sewing room project near you.........

Loving these more and more

I am really loving these blocks

And to think this is my scraps

Funny thing

My bins are full of blues and greens 

But these are yellows and reds

Some purples and browns need

To be added to the mix

This may be a flimsy soon......

I love birds

Thanks everyone for my birthday

Wishes. I did get to sew a little

These are the migration geese blocks 

So far. Coming along quickly

Pretty soon will have to decide

On white or gray background

To put them together 

Dunks is looking for the birds lol

We also have my yellow finches

At the feeder 

Saw one the other day and they must

Have told their friends

Because it is almost empty already. 

Either that or some fat little birds!

What are you working on 

Notice 

No deer

No raccoon

No bunny or chicky runner

I am into Geese at the moment

I am a bird brain

A fly by night 

A dodo

Today is my birthday

Dunks is giving me  kisses

Phoebe is too

Hoping my friend feels better

I will be Spending the day working 

Then hoping to relax

I dont need gifts

Or flowers 

Or jewelry

Or anything at my age

Just let me sew in peace

Without interruption

Would be the best gift

No cost,no wrapping,no returning

Just pure bliss........

Next year is gonna be a big one

At least I have a whole year to get ready

Wanna piece of cake my friends?

Ice cream?

Here you go........

Thanks for stopping by
