Haven't Done Much

Hey there:) I haven't been very productive these past few months. I did manage to get my Halloween Quilt finished and trying to get a fall quilt done as well. I'm not making much progress though. I've had this rotten case of the blah's and can't seem to get motivated to do much of anything. So I'm going to try and get some sewing in today on the quilt and if I can do a little each day I may get it completed! Wouldn't that be a shocker! lol Hope everyone is having this wonderful Fall weather we're having.

New Quilt Shop

I've discovered a new quilt shop, The Dizzy Daisy Quilt Shoppe and boy does she have some great fabrics and goodies. Go check it out. She's also having a give away too.

UFO Saturday

Well, we had our online UFO group Saturday and I was able to get enough blocks sewn together for two and a half quilts. One and a half red & White and one Blue & White. All are AmHero quilts and the center block is white P&B fabric to have people sign them. They're (obviously) signature quilts:) I'd hoped to get more done, but I goofed up on the first one I was working on and had some frogging to do. I only posted one picture 'cause Blogger won't let me post the second:) Hope everyone is getting ready for fall. It's about 85 here in CA today down from 100 yesterday! and the days before that. This week is going to be cool and then it's supposed to stay in the mid to low 80's. I sure hope so. We've got a good chance of another triple digit day or two before fall actually really hits us:)

Hot Summer

I know it's been a while since I've posted, in fact it's been a while since I've done much of anything. It's been so hot it's hard to get up the ambition to even sew. Usually I use that as an excuse to stay in the house and sew, but not lately. I've got several quilts going, and one blue Disappearing 9 Patch I'm determined to finish sewing on today. So with any luck I will get that done. Maybe that will give me the ambition to work on the others:) Ya think? I hope so. Have a great week or close to week end now.

Beautiful Goodies From Rengin

I just had to share the beautiful goodies I received a couple of days ago from Rengin in Turkey. They are wonderful! The trims, the fabric, gorgeous pearl lace, incredible charms, ribbon, all of which are so exciting. I can't wait to use them, in fact I have a plan for one of the projects I have going now. You can also see the amazing crocheted doilies her mother made for me! They look so pretty on my glass coffee table:) I love everything! Thank you Rengin and many thanks to your mother!
That last picture isn't supposed to be in there, don't know how I managed that, but I can't get it out. Sorry about that:(

Finished Quilts

I finally got my machine working again and I'm elated! The first two (I should say the second two, the way the pic's posted.) quilts are for AmHero's and the third one is my neighbor Sonja Muenger with her Christmas Present in July! lol My machine went bonkers the first of Dec. so I never got it quilted, so finally getting the machine back in working condition after all this time I was able to finish it. She knew she had something coming, just didn't know what it was:) So we took it over to her the other day and she was very happy with it. I was very happy to have it done and able to give it to her! lol

A Trip To My Sister's

In spite of a rotten cold and feeling like I'd been hit by a Mac Truck we went up to my sister's house yesterday. She and I played most of the day but then we got down to business and worked on this AmHero's quilt. The white blocks you see are only a few of the thirteen Signature blocks that will go in the quilt. Sonja named the quilt "Thirteen Stars and Stripes" for the thirteen signatures. I think it's going to come out pretty nice. It will have about a three inch border around it when done. You can tell I'm feeling great today, I've been up since four (couldn't breath laying down) and I'm out in the living room and now posting this! lol Oh well, the cold get's a little better every day. I'm sure glad we went up though.

OH!! The Stitch Regulator came home yesterday for my quilting machine! So as soon as I'm up to it I can connect that back up and I'll be set to go on my quilting machine/frame...once again!!! lol yaaaaaay!
