Suberbowl mystery from Quiltbug

Here is my Suberbowl mystery top, I did some of it backwards so we are calling it the exploding football lol. I'm going to make it into a cover for my serger. I also have the Planet Patchwork one cut out but I've been sick alot since January so I haven't sewed it into a top yet. Hope to work on it soon.

MugRug Swap and other stuff.

 I got these (above) in the mail from my Mug Rug swap partner Sandra Williams. I really really like then. Thank you so much.

 These two above and below I sent to my partner Brandi L.  I did keep 1 of the bottom one for myself.

Now I'm working on this months Plastic Canvas swaps, not saying which snowman I'm making yet. The green velvet is for a bunch on drawstring bags I have to make for an SCA event in April.

I'm also working on trying to get DSL, I am so tired of dial-up Internet. It's so slow and I can't download anything on it anymore and sometimes I think they make it go really slow just to try and get people to switch but if they don't have it in your area there isn't much you can do.
The weather has been beautiful here in Florida the last couple of days I hope it stays this way and doesn't get to hot to soon.
Have a Blessed week!

Another Week..

 Been busy cutting out fabric for the Stroll the Block 2011 Squishie Swap -it's the fabric above, we have so far 16 ladies in the swap. So it's going to be a big quilt as I'm asking for 12 1/2 " blocks this year.

The heart above is part of the Valentine's Day Secret swap i'm in. Can't show you the rest yet but Thought I would show this hint.

 The top fabric is for the Planet Patchwork SuperBowl Mystery next Sunday, I have it all cut out and ready to go. I also got my FQ Fun project done and I did 2 in one as one of them is for the Quiltgallery Mug Rug Swap. I still have to make another one and them send them to my partner.

Plus I just got finished cutting out the above fabric for the QuiltBug SB mystery.

I also cut out some Valentine fabric F8's for a swap. just have to package them up to get ready to mail out this week.

The weather is back to normal Florida weather in the 70's during the day and low 50's at night.

Hope everyone is staying warm with the snow up north.

More next week.

Have a Blessed week & Happy Imbolic Wednesday.

Wow, long time no post

As you can see I've been busy with different crafts and getting bunches of medical tests done. They finnally figured out what is wrong and why I'm getting dizzy, it has to do with my Kidneys so I got a new diet and stuff to do. Most of these are for swaps. Except for the Angel WH below and the Kitty TR.

Friday Night Sew-in

I got alot done last night was up til 2am sewing. I got alot done for the Friday Night Sew-In at Heidi's Blog (click on it to see more Sew-in ladies)
My first Block is the March Guild Bom, I think it came out great.

This second block I made a couple of days ago (above) but I fixed the corners on it so now it's right (below)

I made this block L2Q April Bom last night, it was the last one I made and as you can see I messed up the part on the top so this morning I used my seam ripper and fixed it.

Plus I made the April Guild Bom Block last night it came out right.

But I didn't like the fabric I used so this morning I made another one and I like this one much better

Now I'm going to work on my 3-D Wall Hanging, I've go alot to cut out for it.

Have a Blessed Day!

Finished a couple of BOM's

Guild Februray BOM block

 The first block is from my Guild Bom, I'm doing it in Black and Reds mostly. I just got finished cutting out March's and April's block and in April's Block you need 4 colors so I added a grey kitten print for another type of black and a red flowers for another type of red.

L2Q 2nd February Bom Block

This block is the 2nd choice they gave us for February. I didn't notice til I saw the picture that the corners are wrong will have to frog it later and fix it.
I also got the 2 Stitchery BOm's for March traced on to fabric and I'm cutting out the rest of the BOM blocks plus i have to trace the Stitchery blocks for April, so hopefully this weekend I can get all caught up. Tomorrow I have tests again at the hospital in the morning.
Have a Blessed Day!

My piles of things to finish for March

Doesn't that look yummy? It's cold tonight and we are have a party at Sandi's Wooly Buddies group on yahoo. It's an Anniversary party, so I will be up late tonight in my jammies.
See this First pile it's all Fabric for 2 projects. The first one is my guild 3-d wall hanging that we did this month that I want to finish and what's under it in the basket is my LQS's mystery from last year, it's queen size so it's taking me way to long to finish it and next Saturday is theis years mystery which I will be going to.
This next pile is all the cut out plastic canvas for a TBC (TissueBox Cover) swap at my P.C. group on Yahoo. I have to have them finished and mailed out in April. The roses you see behind them is a p.c. tissue box cover I got from a swap years ago.
These are all my BOM's i'm doing and other monthly projects. I'm alittle behind due to all the doctor appointments and tests I have to get done right now but they should be easy to get caught up on between now and April.
This is why none of the other is getting worked on right now. It's the Quilt for my SIL, we found out he is being deployed in April and I just found out they are getting leave so I will see my DD & SIL for the first time in over a year. They hopefully will be here next week so I want to have this finished by Monday. Plus I have to finish some p.c. Easter Coasters for them and an Easter Basket for SIL to match the one I made DD, which I dug out of the closet to give to her. i'm hoping to have the borders put on tonight then do the quilting tomorrow just X's in the middle of the blocks and FM on the borders, then binding done Sunday.
I really hope I can get it finished. Wish my luck.

300th Post -Wow

I can't believe this is my 300th post. I was going to have a give-away then I decided to combine it with the March Good Egg give-away coming up so stay tuned for that.
The Cross Stitch chart below is my prize from Cheryl at Prairie Grove Peddler from a giveaway she had on her blog, I can't wait to stitch it it is so cute.

This bag is from a Challenge in my Cross Stitch group, I had alot of fun making it and made the fairy into a front pocket.My Hubby has been watching the Food Channel on TV, so I decided to see what he has learned from it and asked him to make me a fancy dinner. This is what he came up with. Doesn't that look good? It's Pork chop and spring salad, with peas and applesauce. It was really good and he made some kind of sauce for the pork that was mouth watering. Plus he made steamed shrimp scampi for before that, I forgot to take a picture of it, just ate all of it lol.

Then he made dessert, it's a cimmion (sp) sauce with litely browned pears with vallina frosting on the sides. It was soooooo yummy.

Also I changed my colors for March. Got alot of sewing to do this month.

Design Wall Monday

This is what's on my design wall, it's the top for the Winter Time mini quilt swap (button on side bar) I still have to quilt it and do the binding.

I also have to finish a couple of Easter Plastic Canvas things and my Spring Bunny in Cross stitch.

Dont' forget to go to Judy's Patchwork Times for more design walls.

Tomorrow I find out my results for my heart test and my 300th Post is coming up so will post about that tomorrow, look for fun stuff.

Santa Table Topper Done

This only took me 2 years to complete but it is done and off my UFO list. The Santa is a panel and the blocks around him are from a online Squishie Block Swap at QYW in 2007. I have already put him on my livingroom table and it fits perfectly there. Now when I get the Christmas tree up it will also go on this table so I may not need a treeskirt for it we will see.

These blocks are from the 2007 Christmas Block Swap at QYW I will be working on them next to make a top witrh them, then I have pre-printed Christmas Blocks that will go on the other side of these so I have a 2-sided quilt for the livingroom couch. Hope to get it done this week/end.

It's supposed to get colder here in Florida and rain some more, nothing like what you are getting up north, but a 20+ degree drop in temps is alot of here, from 82 today to 62 tomorrow. My wish this Christmas is for it to get cold enough to SNOW in my yard, not just in Florida so I will have a White Christmas Morning for the first time in my life.

Friday I get to go Christmas Shoppping with my DS and MIL. Yes, DS is back home in Fla. So hopefully he will stay out of trouble and get a job and stay here now.
Well time to get off here and go watch TV with Hubby.

Design Wall Monday

I can't really show you what's on my Design Wall because it's a Christmnas Quilt Challenge at Quilts Your Way. But, I did get everything cut out and ready to sew this week. This is more Traditional then what I've been making lately, but I'm getting kind of tired of Fiber Arts and Applique so I figured I'd make this little quilt for the challenge. Then I will have a Wall Hanging for Christmas and I'm going to enter it in the Fair in April if it turns out okay.
so this is what I will be sewing on this week.

My Ulgy Fabric Swap

This is what I got tonight. I didn't know it was coming by UPS, I thought it was coming by the post office so I didn't see the package out by the gate and we have 2 gates so I missed it til Ruth told me that UPS had deliver it. So out I went with a Flash light to find it and I found the box right by the gate. I'm so glad it didn't rain. The Fabric below is my Ulgy Fabric that I sent her.

This is a picture of it sitting on my sewing table.

The best part is that the Egg fits behind the Chicken and yes those are real feathers.

Thank you so much Ruth.

P.S. tomorrow I will post more about the Quilt Show.
