Quilt Market

Went to Quilt Market to represent Abbi May's quilt shop. What fun we had. Some of the fabrics were just spectacular. Tammy is my friend on the right that I went with.


I love this pattern. I could see these fabrics used with a dark brown. Lots of tote bag ideas. This poppy fabric was amazing.


I got to see Gina again. I really need to figure out how to embroider on clothing better.


This is a baby quilt I have to make. The 3D aspect with novelty inside it.


Met Mark Lipinski at Market too.

We stayed with Tammy's cousin and he had Candy, the parrot. Isn't she beautiful? She adopted me and made sure to let me know when I was not showing her enough attention. Seemed to want to eat everything I had too. LOL

A Machine Quilting Blog

A Machine Quilting Blog that is amazing to look at. She quilts the spaces more than I normally do, but it is amazing.

sewing Sunday

I actually sewed some this weekend.

I had two Birthday blocks to complete. One is a substitute for the block I couldn't get. I'm still going to try it, but....I am having trouble with that block.

The other was 7 blocks for Tammy. This was an easy pattern, so it went together VERY quickly.

I also did some cleaning. I also found out I can't find my SS card, my passport, birth certificate for DD and marriage license. Where is everything????

Eagle wall hanging

A friend needed a small wall hanging for her son's Eagle Scout presentation. So, this is what I came up with.

Hope they like it. If not....guess I'll start over.

It was good to sew some tonight. Still need to do the binding.

slowly

Still not much sewing going on. Two big projects going on at GS and PTC, so my time is limited. DH came home for 10 days and we will be doing more family things away from the house, so that limits my time too. But it is a good limit.

I am using some of my fabric for DD's Bronze award for Girl Scouts. She made some pet beds. Still need to figure out the yardage for that and she is making dog tug of war tows by braiding fabric. So, I'll have some use, but not really any sewing.

I received the fabric for the Eagle award wall hanging and am excited about getting that started. I will need to add in that fabric and then delete it when the wall hanging is done. What fun.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend.

embroidery

Still not doing much on the quilting, but I did get to embroider some yesterday. I'm making a small wall hanging for an Eagle Scout.

My problem now is my eagle is more than the 6.5" I wanted it to be. Just a fraction over, but.... So, I need to figure out what I'm doing with the center and if I still want to make a star from it. Time will tell.

I have 2 birthday blocks I need to work on and hope to do some this week.

I just have too much Girl Scout and PTC Fundraiser things going on. But, hoping to get some time soon.

Slowly getting back to sewing

I had 2 birthday blocks to make in Jul and 1 in Aug. I got the material early, but life got in the way and I didn't get them completed. So, I finally finished the second one. The last one is the hardest and I'm going to tackle it today.

I've been using DHs 9 patches as my starter/enders. I need to focus and get it finished too.

I logged in all the magazines I had sitting around and the kids have filed them for me -- or most of them. LOL That is nice to be able to find the ones I'm looking for. I think I'll be going through them to see if I want to sell some off.

My desk is cleaned off with a list of things to do. Maybe I can take one off the list each day and life will be good.

I'm looking forward to getting back to sewing.

Oh, we have a new addition to the house. Chris, the parakeet. DD loves him and I think she likes to handle him lots. Hoping to train him to do some tricks. He got on my finger this morning, so that is working better. It is nice to have a pet in the house.
