Silly Me

I have about 30 more Joseph's Coat blocks to hand stitch.

WHY did I only pack THREE to bring along on this 2 1/2 week road trip?

I finished two already on the way to Arizona:

Here they are sitting in the cacti:

Why didn't I bring more to work on???

Finish

I finished my Authentic quilt top which was my final March goal for CG&GQC:

Photo taken at night with phone camera.  Thanks to everyone that has already given me ideas on quilting this.

Returned this afternoon from my quilt retreat.  I sewed on my Hope Valley quilt and I'm happy with how it is turning out.

We are leaving tomorrow for AZ for a few weeks and will be stopping in TX on the way home, so I don't know when I'll post again.

i love love love this quilt........

I worked on this for the Friday Night Sew In and it is half way together.  I finished the final four blocks and put the first seven rows together and seven left.

The colors aren't the best again in this photo, but I am having so much fun putting this together.  Every Merry-Go-Round (Sandy Klop pattern) out of Authentic by Sweetwater for Moda is cuter than the last.

I got this fat quarter bundle from Natalia at Piece N Quilt and ordered the backing from her today.

I can't wait to finish this quilt.  Happy sewing!

Woot woot!!

Finished my Quilt For Kids project which is also a completion for The Charming Guys and Gals Quilt Club!

It's Kung Foo Panda fabric and it turned out so cute.  All washed, soft and crinkly and ready to mail tomorrow.

Sorry about the poor photo from my phone again.  I really need to get a camera.

 

Friday Night Sew In

I have too many projects to complete and this will help:

I remembered I am going on a quilt retreat on Monday, so this will be a great time to get my quilt top together.

See you on Friday March 19th! 

March Sewing Progress

Finished my second Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along block:

The color isn't true as this is a photo from my phone, but you know the lovely Simple Abundance colors.

Here are both blocks:

Poor color again.

And for one of my Charming Guys & Girls Quilt Club goals for March, I finished the binding on the Quilts of Valor quilt:

And my Downy Quilts For Kids quilt is ready to be quilted:

They sent the cutest kit - Kung Foo Pandas! Go check it out - it doesn't take long to finish one.

March Goals for Charming Guys and Girls Quilt Club

No camera yet, so this will have to be my photo for this post.

My Goals:

• Binding on Quilts of Valor quilt
• Start and finish Downy Quilts for Kids quilt
• complete Authentic Merry Go Round quilt top

That will be about it since I was in Florida for six days this month and will be leaving for Arizona on the 25th.

Authentic Merry-Go-Round

I just remembered I could take a photo with my phone and show you my design wall with my Authentic Merry-Go-Round blocks so far!!

 

And I finished my first block for the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along using my Simple Abundance jelly roll:

 

 

 

Since we last spoke...

Burned out bulb in sewing lamp (hard to find replacement):

 

Two month old iron no longer heats up (at all):

 

Water pipe to the house broke (for the third time in six months):

 

(No water for five days)

Tooth broke and needs a crown:

Sliced finger with rotary cutter:

 

Camera broke:

(all of the above are Google images)

So............................I got a ticket to Florida for a week:

My Mother (who is 89 and hasn't flown for 25 years) and I are going to spend six days with my sister in Punta Gorda!

All of the above is true.  My Merry-Go-Round quilt is coming along nicely and I wish I could show you that and/or my Florida pictures once we return, but it's not looking promising for a while.
