QWL returned

I played with a postcard, but didn't finish it.
I did get a QWL returned from the lady doing the binding. I didn't have one ready for her. Guess I need to make sure to get at least one finished this weekend so I have it for her next week. It is nice to have some help on the bindings. I've not been doing much this week. Maybe it is just getting back into the swing of things and doctors appointments. I do hope to quilt more this weekend.

DD quilt top done

Well, I did finish doing the final border on the UFO for DD. Not done much sewing with it being the first week of school and having doctors appointments.

But, now I need to finish quilting a QWL and a QOV before I start on the round robin.

I really need to do some piecing too.

How do I get all these things going?????

Happy Birthday DD

Happy 8th Birthday to DD today. Here is the hug given to "brother" for his present. He's not too sure about how hard she is hugging. LOL

Quilting was on hold. Did load a QWL, but didn't do any quilting.

Karate was fun with the birthday spankings.

Tomorrow is the birthday party.

LIttle sewing

Today was a day to run around. DD had a dentist appointment and then we had to eat. I still had this horrendous headache that made using a rotary cutter not a good idea. So, I napped.

I did get the binding sewn on a QOV that I will start working on tomorrow.

I have the batting for the QWL cut and things ready to load on the long arm. I think this is goign to be a quick meander to get it done and the quilt ready to bind. I think I can get 2-3 more in the box before sending it on. I need to do that soon.

I did get 2 of the 5 shelves of fabric loaded tonight. So, I am making progress.

Tomorrow is DD's birthday, so I doubt I'll get much done in the sewing arena.

So, did I get any quilting done today? Nope, not anything. I did get to make a birthday crown for DD. You know, she is turning 8 on Friday and NEEDED a crown. LOL

So, she picked out the fabric and I had to make a crown for the birthday girl to wear.


Here she is. LOL wearing her crown.



Here is the soon to be birthday girl with her flowers from Miss Kim. DD is ready for her Karate lesson and wants to carry her flowers with her everywhere she goes. LOL

Thanks, Miss Kim.















Her she is as a glittered up girl ready to go to dinner. She came out of the bathroom all glittery. It wouldn't come off -- only in the shower and we were hungry. LOL

QOV quilted

I finished quilting the Baptist Fan on a QOV.

Not perfect, but better than the first time I used the templates. :)

I know what I need to do. I just don't like the idea of having to stop at almost every point to make sure it lines up.

Makes me wonder if using the rulers would be easier???

UFO on hold

UFO is on hold because of a day at Splashtown. Oh my, I like roller coasters, but I think I'm too old for this. LOL There was only 1 that I'd not do again, because it got my back. Most were on tubes and it was fun. DD and I both liked the one in the dark the best. LOL

I came home and to do something quilty, I tried the Baptist Fans again. I am getting better, but boy it is taking me lots of time to do it. I have to stop at one point to make sure it will line up right. :( So, this is NOT a quick pattern.

I'm about half way done on a QOV, so maybe I can get that done tomorrow. We are home tomorrow because DH has a dentist appointment.
