Sewing & Fun Mail...

Thanks for all your well wishes in finding my pattern! :-) Actually, as many of these quilts that I have made, I really don't need the pattern... its just a little security measure. ;-)) LOL I could make them in my sleep if it didn't involve pins and machinery. :-) ...and wouldn't that be cool if we could do mindless sewing and catch some zzzzz's at the same time!?!? Ahhh the quilts we could make!! ;-) I am making progress~ all the blocks just need one more side added to them and then I can start playing with them. :-)
And fun mail!~ Today I received these wonderful FQ's from Kim at Kim Sherrod Studio. She had a fun giveaway a while back and I won an e-pattern and these lovelies. :-)) Thanks Kim!! :-) I don't know how you knew that I love sunflowers, but these are going in my collection for my 'someday' quilt. And I know exactly where a piece of the green is going too! :-) {{hugs}}
Back to my machine~
Hope y'all are having a great day too!
Happy stitchin'!!

Let the Clipping Begin!~

Yay! I finally got the raggy flannel/denim together~ bet you were getting tired of hearing about it! LOL :-) The next time you see it, it will be all clipped, washed, fluffed and ready to give. ;-) The clipping starts tonight, but will probably take a few days. I have clipped an entire quilt in an evening, but it is not fun and I wouldn't recommend it. :-) Your hand gets too tired! LOL And blisters aren't pretty. ;-) Lucky for me, this one isn't needed until next month~ plenty of time for clipping and ragging. ;-))

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!

...and Working!

Remember this post? Well it has only taken me almost a month to get back to the flannel/denim quilt! :-o LOL Today I made the blocks and got them all trimmed. I arranged them on the floor, but now my back is pinching me. :-/ Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get them sewn together. ~ At least I'm back to sewing! Yay! :-))

Until tomorrow~

Happy Stitchin'!!

Quiltathon Weekend

I had a great weekend! Mainly, I cut because I'm off to a retreat next weekend and wanted to have my projects all cut out and ready to go. Our family HS graduation gift is a raggy denim/flannel quilt. I've made them for all the boy graduates we've known for the past few years and they have always been very well-received. Well, this year DD graduates and I didn't think she'd really want a denim/flannel quilt. Boy was I wrong! She not only wants one for herself, but for her best girlfriend too. :-) And we do have a boy graduate this year too. So... I recycled denim for 3 quilts! They are all cut out and ready for the sewing. Whoohoo!

Next I worked on Honeyberries. I trimmed up/squared up all the blocks for the final steps. I did make it to my sewing machine to start assembling them, but forgot to take a photo! Maybe I'll be able to get back to them tomorrow.

Thanks for the inspiration for a great weekend Judy! :-)
