Much better and busier week!

The vertigo is all gone:) Of course the Chenopods are not and ragweed is starting to show up:( Oh well have upped my allergy meds and that seems to be working:)

I was home 3 days and got 1 quilt done:) Oh well I did get that done:) LOL!!! Thursday I had errands and eye appt... had to order new glasses:) Kinda happy about that since these are 3 years old!

Friday was Bee:) Almost have all the Steampunk blocks done:) Then need to sash. I did find backing fabric at $8.50 a yard and then 25% off that:) You need to check out Jordan Fabrics out of Oregon. They have great tutorials and fabric!

Saturday was hubby errand day... we bought him clothes, new living room furniture... couch, ottoman, and wing back chair for me:).... then to Home Depot for light and other goodies for hubby's room and hallway makeover. Oh and I ordered a new refrigerator that morning online at home depot ... it was almost 1/2 price:) Then to lunch and then to Ledgers our local  furniture store to get hubby a badly needed new recliner:) Everything of course had to be ordered... esp since I wanted them in a certain fabric:) So they will all be here in 4-6 weeks except the fridge... it will be here this week. So.... the living room has to be finished by then... good to have a deadline! Hubby will be taking a week off for vacation towards the end of September so we will gt it all done then:)  Then we went to friends house to play cards:) That was fun!

Today we headed to Cabella"s to pu hubby's ammo safe. He is one happy boy!!

I am home most of the week so am really hoping to get more then 1 quilt done but we will see since the next one is custom:)

Ok on with the pictures:

This is Gayle's quilt called Patio  by Happy Zombie.

Love the fabrics she used! I outlined most of the lilies so they pop!

You can really see it on the back:) Was fun to quilt!!!

Hope ya'll have a great week!!!

Up and down week..

I truly mean up and down. The allergies have triggered vertigo so I am fine sitting still or laying down but once I am up and moving so is everything else:( UGH!!! It's an inner ear thing so more antihistamines... have had it before but it's been awhile:( Feels like your drunk without the wine drinking:(

I did get a few things done though...

Gayle made this runner for her church.

Just rays of love in the quilting!!!

Pat made this Doxie quilt as a gift for a visiting friend next month:)

Love that the pups are on the back also:) Just loop meander.

Ruth Ellen made this chemo quilt all from her scrap stash:) Awesome!

Just loop meander quilting.

As you can see just simple quilting this week since I don't know how long I would feel well enough to quilt. Have a more complex quilt loaded for this week already... high hopes:)

Millie is all done except for her fill in border pieces. I have ordered 3 yards of Kona Hyacinth for that:) So finished up the 3 Spargo birds I have been neglecting... I can sit and stitch all day:)

Only 9 more to go:)

I did start another embroidery project that has been patiently waiting in my cart... I am almost 1/2 way finished with it. It is a double hoop project and is coming out nicely... maybe it will be done next week??

Nothing going on in the remodel front... prob Labor Day weekend:)

Koko had a vet appt and all is well with her.... she had her surgery over  year ago now so was glad to hear all is well... still on special diet:(

Back to high temps and drought here:( Mother Nature tempted us for a bit:)

Hope you all have an awesome week!!!

We got rain:)

Had to believe it would rain in August in the great state of Texas but it sure did!! Of course my house didn't get much but Dallas area did!

Pat and I traveled North Friday morning VERY early to attend the Plano Quilt Show. Was a good show with tons of vendors... so many we did not see! A lovely lunch at Abuelos and then cards and drinks at Linda's house:) Saturday was MABD in Allen and then the drive home.

It rained almost all the way up after we left my house and about 50% of the way home. We SO need it!!! No complaining here!

I got the quilt that was on the frame finished and that was about it for the week... not sure where the days are going but they are going fast!

Here are my pictures:

This is Shelley's antique Trip Around the World quilt made entirely of Hexies:)

Lots of feathers:)

As you can see on the backing... I did change thread colors throughout.

Millie is all put together except that empty spot and the fill in pieces. Having a hard time figuring out what color to fill in with??? Any Ideas???

Saw one at the Plano Show and she used a dark blue and then added a border of the same fabric so it looks like the Millie is floating. That is an idea???

Home 2 days for sure this week maybe 3 so am hoping to get a little quilting done:) LOL!'

Callie update... all is well with the Wild Child!!! Her tummy looks good and she is still in love with Hubby:)

Have a great week and Sew on and on!!!!

Not sure what happened to this weeK:)

The week got away from me... I had a sick day Monday,  quilted most of Tuesday, Wed quilted a bit and finally got my crown put on... they forgot about me:(

Thursday I was at vet office at 7:45 am to drop Calli off to get spayed, nails clipped, tail checked and get her boosters. That was fun! Tried to get hubby to catch her since she loves him more:) She tore him up with her nails:( So I finally caught her and stuffed her in the carrier... she is a bit wild:) Then went off to get groceries and take a nap. I got like 2 hours of sleep the night before... Jax and Waldo were NOT happy there was no food out and let me know it over and over again:( Brats! I got a call to pick her up at 2. She had a lovely cone on.... so when I opened her carrier she flopped around like a fresh caught fish on the ground:( Poor thing! She hid under my bed for about an hour or so to regain her strength and went into kitchen and flopped some more but by golly that cone was off! Was getting worried about her yesterday as she pretty much had been hiding and not eating much... this morning she ate and drank and joined us in the living in:) Yea!!!

Friday I went to Temple to visit my friend Rosemary who had ankle surgery and we had lunch together and did handwork:) Nice visit!

Yesterday hubby and I ran away:) LOL!!! Not far though:) We headed to Joann's in Rock Rock, IKEA, and then to Cabella's. Ate at Catfish Parlour in Georgetown on the way home. We usually go the back way home on 183 but the deputy wouldn't let go through because they had a grass fire they were battling:( So we took the long way home through Florence and Killeen. Oh and since 35 was a bit backed up after we left IKEA we got on 45/130 and it took us right to Cabella's:) Lovely! Also took it back to Georgetown! Definitely the way to go and worth the tolls!!!

So I have a few pictures for you:)

Margaret hand stitched these beautiful flowers!

Lots of curlz and outlining!

You can see the quilting on the backing especially!

This is what's still on the frame... hope to finish tomorrow!

5 more Steampunk blocks made:)

I have one more Rosette to make for Millie but have already started sewing the sections together:) Have to decide on the border fabrics next...Not home much this week:( Am heading to Plano Show on Friday and MABD on Saturday and then the long drive home:(

Hope ya'll have a great week!!!
