I'm Ba-aa-ack!!

We took the month of June to travel and visit with our families. I delivered all the quilts in my previous posts. :-)

On the way back we saw some wonderful rainbows~ 

Our motor home campground was right out in the middle of the prairie in Wyoming.

The 50+mph wind gusts were not very fun, but the rainbows were sure pretty! 

I attended a small retreat during our trip and worked on these Scrappy Trips blocks in Christmas scraps (Of course!)  I followed Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville's tutorial.

Since we have been home I have made 10 more blocks. I want to do 26 more so that the quilt fits a queen size bed.  I counted out my strips last night and need to do more cutting. :-/  It is an easy block and I am hoping when it is all sewn together it doesn't look quite so crazy! I never knew I had so many red Christmas prints! (My Mom had a lot of red too as I acquired her stash earlier this year.) 

I will be back soon to show you the gift I made for my fellow retreats, and some of the gifties I received. ;-)

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!

I Hope You~~

...aren't tired of seeing the quilts I managed to get quilted and bound in May. :-)

Two are for my DBIL and two are my Mom's.  The photos really don't do any of them justice, but they are the best I could do with my little camera and photo program. I really miss my old program! If you click on them, they should enlarge.

Today I made more 'wonder cream'. See this post for recipe.

This time the cream is white instead of baby lotion pink~ I had no idea Baby Magic was white or I would have used it last time. :-) My DH likes to use it on his cuticles, and my Dad on his arms so I am sure both will like the white better. LOL

I really love this stuff~ perfect for summer sandal feet too! 

My calla's are blooming like crazy~

And finally a little cross stitch ornament I finished~

A friend and I do a 'Christmas in July' exchange because December is always to busy to really take the time to enjoy the stitching.  Our theme was red cardinals~ I hope she likes it! :-)

That's all for today~

Until next time~

Happy stitchin'!!
