"F" blocks done

The alphabet BOM is "Friday the Thirteenth".
I had 2 to make to be up to date and got them done today.

This one is mine.  I think I would like the outside another floral, but this will do just fine. 

This is for Lynne and I made sure the background fabric was not on the outside.  I like it better.

Design Wall Monday

The main design wall can't be shown, since it is a mystery.  But, my design cutrains are there.  Two projects on them.  The left is the sampler with flower names blocks.  I have 3 more to do and then I can put that together.  The one on the right is the long term bonus triangle block.  I really like this one.

Check out the other sites from Judy's blog.

Happy Father's Day!

Wishing all the Fathers out there a wonderful fun filled day.

I'm not sure what we are doing.  My Dad is still not up to going out to eat, and DH is still sleeping.  We shall see what happens as the day progresses.

Saturday is done

I worked on this lovely BIG pillow for a wedding gift that was needed for today.

I got it done.  Not 100% happy, but it is OK.

I now need to work on the quilt.  It is not done.  :(*  I hate not having things done on time.  But, life has been really crazy lately and I procrastinated on this way too long.

I love the colors and learned that I need to make sure the rings have a variety of values in them.  The darker one is not to my liking, but I like the variety of colors.

I also learned that there is a way to put the rows of the double wedding ring quilt togehther and making it like this is not that way.  LOL

I am going to make the rings up and then align them to the white after I get them all made.  I found that I got better when I did a couple rather than one section at a time.  Practice makes perfect. 

So, I will start cutting A and B sections to sew them together with a variety of fabrics.  I have them all pulled and just need to cut.

Birthday FQs

I didn't get this photo posted when I received them, but thought I'd show you while I was cleaning up my studio.

I think I will be able to use these in a patriotic scrappy quilt, don't you?

Thank you all the birthday club ladies.

It always amazes me that I have only seen 2 of all these FQs.  LOL

Tuesday

I'm still working on testing the mystery, so I can't show photos of what I'm doing.

Judy did a video on her way to do machine binding, check it out. 
I normally do mine by hand because I enjoy it most of the time.  It wasn't so long ago that I hated doing hand binding.  LOL  Now, it is relaxing.
Today has been a day of doctors for DD and DH.  Spent over 2 hours there, and wish I had a binding to do.

Off we go to horseback riding for DD.  When we get home, I hope we can get some things done.
