Brain Cramp

My little helper while working on Project Linus Stuff! Top picture is when she jumped up on the couch while I quickly sat down for a rest and the bottom pic is Miss Grace saying this is dog bed approved!

So yesturday at SSS I was looking over this pattern I was starting to make looked at and said ok I need 8 half square triangles of this color combo and I need 9 of this combo and 16 of this combo! So I went to town making them. Well this morning while tearing the paper off them I realized thats how many blocks of that color combos there were I needed to have then times it by 4! So here I was thinking I was all ready to begin and I still needed a million more of each color!

Project for Retreat Weekend!

Halloween Weekend Jean M. Gram, Lynn, Luanne, Debbie, Judy, Jan, and I are all attending Sunny & Lorraines Joy of Quilting Weekend! So one of the projects I wanted to bring along and finish was my Aqua star quilt I started. But man oh man does this thing have a lot of little pieces! So I have been chain sewing them together at night before bed one group at a time so I don't have to hog the ironing board that long each time. Also i want to be able to get a lot accomplished this weekend. I feel I might take WAYYYY more then I will be able to do but would hate to run out of projects while there! :-) Here are all my little pieces!

A phone Call from Jean!

Today while Gram and I were cleaning out the closet that we keep our fabric in we recieved a phone call from Jean! She was informing me that the quilt that I am going to quilt for her is on it's way! Looks like I have some work ahead of me and need to finish up my quilt that I have on Lizzie. I am just doing a meander on it hopefully Lizzie behaves herself and I can get it done in a timely manor! :-) We shall see when my package arrives!

Quilt on Lizzie

So Friday afternoon I put a quilt on Lizzie one of my wedding quilts. I have the wedding on Sunday and really wanted to get this one done before the wedding and give it on the wedding since I don't see this bride as much.

This is the quilt on the machine! The machine is busy stitching away!



This is what the quilt looks like I really hope she likes it, we shall see on Saturday or Sunday when I give it to her before the wedding Sunday afternoon.

Gram's Birthday

On August 23rd 2010 we celebrated Gram's 80th Birthday with a HUGE surprise party that I started planning in March. We then (the ladies that sew on Fridays most of them with the help of a few other people) made gram a quilt. My cousin when the time came decided he would make an ice carving for the party.


This is what most of my summer was spent working on! With the exception of the wedding quilts I have been working on too.
