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!

Relaxing Thursday...

My Fabric Pillowcase

LQS fabric Pillowcase

Hey Everyone,


Sorry I haven't been posting much, been very busy with Doctors and test, but

hopefully that will slow down some. Found out my heart is good no clots, did the

chemical stress test and they said everything looks fine, but my blood pressure

is low and they took me off the High BP meds, they want to do some more tests to

find out why I keep passing out, they call it a tabletop test, will find out

more about it tomorrow.

Then went to lung doctor and have COPD, they want tests done at the hospital for

that, will find out when tomorrow.

Plus they x-rayed my back and have spurs and arthritis in it so have to start PT

for that soon.



Other than that I did manage to get to quilt guild this month and I'm making 2

pillowcases today for the million pillowcase challenge. Will drop them off at my

LQS tomorrow after doctor appt.



My Sil got deployed overseas last night and won't be back til the end of

November, please say some prayers for him that he stays safe & that times flies

by for DD, she is staying on the base til he gets back, they have only been

married a year and this is his first deployment so it is a big ajustment for

both of them.

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.

Friday Night's Quilt-In

We has a really good time last night at Sandi's Seasons BOM Group on Yahoo. I stayed up til 3:30 in the morning working on this stuff. The picture above is my February Mini Quilt. So I have that are ready done, it's a Challenge in the group to make one for each month.

This Stain Glass Top is a UFO Guild project and we are having a contest this year at guild to see how many UFO's we can get done. Now I just have to back and Quilt it. Hope to get it done before February's Guild meeting.

This Block is the new one for my Guil's BOM, I did the other one but they changed the size of the block so I had to make a new one. So that's done for the meeting.

I also worked on my Angel Block, it's Sandi's BOM for this year, I'm almost finished with it and will post a picture later. Plus I have to find something for my Design Wall Monday.

Well back to stitching.

Hugs,

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

This is what's on my Wall for this week. This is a Table Topper I've been working on for a couple of years now, so it's a UFO. I'm hoping to have enough blocks left over to make a small one for the table beside the couch too.


Happy Holidays!

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.

This is the fabric I started out with for this swap. I ended up making a scrappy Candlemat from it. I did the same pattern on both sides and I think it turned out nice. Goes in the mail monday.

Twin Needle Project

Today I'm doing a project that we did in Guild. (Above pictures) I think it was this year or late last year. The one I had done in guild my DD claimed and I've been wanting to make another one so I cut out the fabric and the batting for it today. ( it's hard to see the green fabric in this picture)

Then I set up the sewing machine for twin needles to do the quilting.

I'm using threads that are the same colors as in the flower fabric. and since the flowers look like they are on vines I'm using a vine stitch to do the quilting with. Here is one line done.

And here it is up close.

I also get to use my zipper foot and i'm adding some trim to this one as I'm going to be using it for the SCA. Will post more pictures when I get it done.

Have a Blessed Day!

What I've been up to.......

I'm here, not much quilting going on right now. Everytime I think I'm done with an SCA project, I find another one that I have to do, or need to make by the end of that month for an event. but i'm having fun and I am sewing just not quilting. I'm learning alot about my sewing machine and that I can sew clothes now as long as they are from the 13 century lol. The above picture is a basket cover I made.

Also I've been finishing up the Beaded bookmarks I need for St. George's at the end of this month. Here they are all finished and in the basket ready to give out to other Fighter's Ladies and Royality.

Then I figured out I needed to hot glue and sew down my Hubby's Crest of his helm for the tourney. It looks like this.

Now he has to take Velcro and add it to the top of his helm. But that is he job (chore) to do. I still have to cut out 1 more dress for me and another tunic for him in Brown so he has one to work in, he's getting his green one stained when putting up the tents and palvillons at the sites. Oh and He wants me to redo these seat cover in green for these seats we had that the fabric seating part got ruined in the rain from being to old so have to have those done by May for that campout it's a 4-day one.

Hopefully some time this month I may be able to sew something quilty, lol.

Have a Blessed Day!

Busy sewing day.

I've been sewing most of today and it's been really fun, I have most of the top done on my TR I've been making, I couldn't decide between adding Santa's to the green blocks or not but I furgured it looked better with them. Now all I have to do is pillowcase it with the backing and batting tomorrow. This is what the Santa;s look like:

The next thing I worked on today is a project for my group Learning 2 Quilt. We have a project to do each month and it's so much fun, this month we did potholders but I made mine a trivet.The last thing I want to show you is a banner I made for me to show at the SCA. We get to have them to represent us at the events, and this is the one I made for me. As I love hummingbirds and do alot of crafts I thought it represents that really well, plus it's my favorite colors.Well, that's all the news for today. Have a Blessed Evening!
