Here is a sneak peak at the Spring Cross stitch swap i'm working on.

Friday Night Quilt-in

As you can see my theme for this quilt-in was St. Patrick's Day. I sewed the table runner together now just have to add the backing. Then I also made a Plastic Canvas door hanger for my front door.

Then I finished the St. Patty's Day Manget for a swap.

I've also been working on some Cross Stitching but can't show that yet. i did alot of the cs while watching the Ice Dancers last night.

Hope everyone else had a good sewing time. Please clink on the Button on my side bar to see what the others have done.

Preping Wednesday- Part 2

Let's see where was I? oh yeah, here is a sneak peak at the fabrics I'm using for the Winter Mini Quilt Swap at Quilting Gallery. This is a Plastic Canvas Wall Hanging I want to make for myself, hopefully I will get it finished before St. Patty's Day. Then I have the PC St. Patty's magnet I have to make for a swap, I have it cut out just have to stitch it and drop it in the mail when I get my partner.
Plus, I have a PC Easter Swap, we have to make a medium something so I'm making egg coasters or the Door knob hanger not sure which one will go out to my partner or which one will stay here. Have to have them done before the end of March.
Then the next thing I have to make is an Easter Magnet like this one. This one I made a couple of years ago, made one for each of in the family and also mini bunny baskets that match.
I have one more thing I'm working on but I can't show you even a peak because it's a secret swap for a Cross Stitch Spring Bunny. Will show it when my partner gets it.

Well that's my plans for the rest of the month. I also want to get some of my UFO's finished.
Hope you have a great evening.

Preping Wednesday- Part 1

Well today I didn't have to go to the RA doctor they call and changed it to March, but they did tell me good news as my lungs are okay and for now they are leaving them alone. They will check them again in a year. So, I have the rest of the week off from seeing doctors and tests.

I finished the quilting and binding on the Superbowl Mystery from Quiltbug. I even slept with it on my bed last night boy was it warm and snuggly.
These are the fabrics set to me for Quilt for Kids. I hope to finish this and the flannel 9-patches into quilts for them by April and get them mailed back to them.

This is Coco the puppy my Hubby brought home last October, She's a Rednosed and American Pit. She was starving and just a little thing then. See you can see all her bones.

Now she is looking much better and is very playful. She is a very smart puppy. The only problem is we have to keep her indoors or in her kennel because all the male dogs in the neighborhood are stopping by and she isn't fixed yet. No, I don't want a house full of puppies and she's to young.

I finished my L2Q February BOM Block and I traced the February Angel Connection & SnowBound BOM Blocks onto fabric for me to stitch.

Okay more on part 2.

I Won & update on me

Thank you so much for voting for my All Hearts Quilt. I won this weeks contest.

This is what I found out from the kidney doctor- my GFR isn't 60 it's 53.7 he went over the CT scan of my lungs with me and showed everything inside of me. He said it looked like I had a blood clot behind my left knee but it broke up and that's what caused the dizziness, he said I was lucky that it broke up as small as it did otherwise I might have had a stroke or heart attack. My knee hurt the night before the dizziness and my Hubby massaged it. The doctor said that was what broke it up.

He also showed me the damage to my lungs and told me the it wasn't too bad yet. The CT report says that there are emphysematous bullae seen in both lungs and minimal bibasilar atelectasis is seen. Not sure what that is but I'm sure they will let me know. He said my liver was swollen but it was okay and he wants to see me again in a year unless my blood tests change.

They didn't have the Echo results yet so I still have to wait till the 23rd, and I have my other new doctors to see. Plus Wed I see my RA doctor which is good because my hip has been bothering me a lot. But, I'm not going to let any of this get me down, I'm just going to go to the doctors and tell them I want to know what's wrong so we can fix it. Thanks for all your prayers.

This is the quilting I'n doing on my SBM, I free motioned the last 2 borders and the star in the middle Now I'm working on the large yellow areas in the middle part. Tomorrow I hope to SID the 2 inner borders where the triangles are. Then Monday when I get home from the kidney doctor I can do the binding.

I had a really good time this weekend even though I didn't get any sewing done. i did give away so prizes at the retreat and made up a Thankyou bag for the Hostess my Friend Sandi. See all the goodies she is getting.
Here are the 3 bags that 3 different ladies won I made the bags.

Wacky Wednesday

Well I didn't make it to guild today, went to the doctor yesterday and have to get tests done next Tuesday and go see a heart specialist, so I'm at home taking it easy til then. At least I have the SuperBowl Mystery to look forward to this Sunday. I've been slowly cutting out my fabric for it. I changed some of my fabric choices and went and bought my background it's the yellow fabric, figured I could use something cheery and some sunshine right now.

I'm still working on my SnowBound January block and I have my L2Q Bom February Block and Season's BOM Group February Angel to do yet.

Plus I have a Spring Bunny to Cross Stitch for a Swap- it's due in March.

I would like to do some crochetting if I have time. To many crafts so little time lol.

Have a Blessed Day!

February Design Wall Monday

Wow it's already February. Since I've been sick there is not much on my Design Wall. I do a have a couple of things to cut out this week so will be doing that.

The first is the fabric for my guild project this month. The meeting is Wednesday. We are making 4 Placemats and a Table Runner using the Tri-recs Rulers. I will be going if I'm feeling well enough and no tests get in the way.

This second set of fabric is for Sunday, Quiltbug is having a Suberbowl Mystery on February 7th. I'm going to be doing it in flannels.http://quiltbug.com/Free/Magic-tricks.htm The cutting directions are up for 2 sizes. i'm going to be doing the larger size now I know my fabrics aren't quite what she said but I want to use these as see how it comes out. Since this quilt is for me I can do this. I'm also going to be saving the dicerctions for the littler one and I may do that one with fabric like she says to do.

That's all for this week. don't forget to stop by Judy's http://www.patchworktimes.com/ to see what everyone else is up to this week.
