And get er done

Have I ever said how much

I love my quilting friends?

Thanks Sharon for allowing

Me to play with these pretties

This is the baby quilt lined with minky

Just stitched in center both ways

So another gift for the baby showers

I am on a roll

Deer

Ha ha Colette

Made you look

I didnt lie. This is a deer...

Just not the deer quilt. Hee hee

Did a couple more blocks of these 

And need a few extra so I

Would be able to choose

What are you doing?

How purty is this?

Remember a while back

Jacky and I were gathering 

Candy tins

And I was getting fatter eating

All those chocolates?

Well lookie here

THIS ONE IS SHUT

AND FULL

and I didnt even have to sit on it !

While on the phone one day

I just took them all out and

Made neat little piles

Anyone in for a LONG

Conversation? Lol

These need to be ironed

And tamed ha ha

These are from my 

Geese migration quilt 

Fun fun for another day

Oh baby

When I bought this um carriage full

Of fabric I had something in mind

You see my niece that is crafty needed a little help

She has a lot on her plate with a boyfriend

Newly diagnosed with ms and such but 

Has THREE new babies coming up soon....

One friend having a girl.....one future sis in law having a girl.......

And a cousin having a boy

She is knitting a blanket and made 4 quick little receiving blankets

So I got A ton of flannel and am making burp cloths

And bibs if I can find my pattern

Aren't they adorable?

Love it.......and once cut it is power

Sewing

And one becomes many

I think I am up to 12 now with a couple more cut out.

Need more boy ones so am thinking 

Of raiding my blue stash and pairing with

The gray check for backs

I MAY have overbought

( I heard that snicker!)

Does anyone have any other ideas

What I can make with flannel?

I was thinking of a carrier cover

Wouldn't these all look cute in a 

Clothesline gift? Socks couple onesies

And all pinned to a clothesline for the Mom

To see what washday is like with baby lol

What are you making?

Baby ideas?

More geese a flyin

Another purple geese block.....

And a brown and yellow

Have a red one and a sage green

One to cut pieces for.........

This quilt top is working up

FAST

Soon my pretties

Here kitty kitty

While digging in the scraps

I found this cutie and had to make

Something with it

I layered it, quilted it

And put in a zipper.

It was a little fiddly but I like it

A cute kitty zippy bag

Here they are right side up

And kitties inside too

Soooo

 Cute!

What are you making?

Thelma and Louise went on a road trip

THELMA AND LOUISE 

Alias Dawn and Jacky

Went on a roadtrip

First stop was 

Stash enhancement. Look at this....

MY RED TRUCK IN SUMMER FABRIC

HOW CUTE IS THAT?

I was good and didn't buy 

This is Jackys favorite

Some bolts we may or may not have messed with

And lookie here

Half off. Love a good sale

See this sad face?

IT WAS HAPPY

UNTIL SOMEONE

WAS A PARTY POOPER

AND FORBID ME TO

GET ANOTHER THING

um I had gift cards to spend

Please let me get the roll of

Batting 

PULEEEEEEEZZZE

Sure.......don't pay any attention to me 

And check out the batting packages

OMG whose cart is that?

Oh yeah......mine lol

After spending gift cards and then 

Some we were hungry and stopped for lunch at the Longhorn

(Not to be confused with the shorthorn)

Dont open that door

The batting will pop out!

Here was Louise's meal

Chicken honey mustard with parmesean crust  asparagus and sweet potato 

And Thelma had the chicken nuggets and asparagus

A great shopping day with a fun friend

Always makes you smile.......

Thelma and Louise may ride again soon

Vote for your selection

I thought of joining these two sets

Of blocks.....

My idea was the solids would have

Floated......

Nope 

Not sure about it

I like the modern look of these

By themselves

And these too

But i did love these as the

Center of star blocks

I always wanted to make a 

Good night irene quilt too

What way do you like the blocks?

Any other ideas to set them?

Springing ahead

Remember I got a box of solid scraps

From my friend vrooman?

Well, 

in the box was this neat strata

So I cut it in half and joined them at the

Yellow side making a runner

Found another green in the box

Divided the width by 4 to get my pieces

They happened to come out to 3.5 evenly

And sewed on borders

Only a small piece left that will

Become 3.5 squares for another playdate

And this is the newest scarf

Half done

I am thinking these will make nice

Pay it forward gifts this Fall winter season

Lots of folks here walk their dogs and what

A nice way to help stay warm

And i clear out the yarn stash

A win win 

My secret project is almost Done 

Once the recipient has it

I will reveal 

Hee hee   so fun

Whats going on in your sewing room?

Many things made

So far this year I have done a

Few projects

Table runners........

This is scarf number 4....

Secret projects 

And yes even more of these

With all going on with my blood pressure

And eye issues

And hubs issues i have been sticking with

Small projects

Quick finishes spurs me on to tackle more

Hoping to end this year with some great 

Finishes.....

We will see

What are You up to?

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
