Last post for 2018

Hi All,

Sorry I missed my normal blog day... family:)

My daughter flew in Saturday night and my son and his family came over on Sunday. We baked lots of cookies with the girls:) What fun we had!!! Yesterday daughter wanted to go antiquing so we headed to Antique Mall in Round Rock and then Half Price Books:) Today a little quieter... just some sewing and they went to visit MIL. She then has a friend she will be with for dinner and friendship:) Tomorrow she goes to my parents house and on Thursday another day with my son and one of his daughters:) Then Friday at 5am she leaves:( Will miss her!!! SO glad she was able to come down from Ohio:)

Also on Friday the counter top guys will be here to make a template:) YEA!!!!!

So I did get the last quilt finished and some handwork:)

So I finished the last 3 Spargo birds:)

This is Pam's quilt she made for herself. We need to do that every once in awhile:)

Love the poppies and it was a large queen so pretty big!

Hard to see the quilting but turned out really pretty! I still have a pillow runner to quilt but that will wait till next year:)

Here are all the birds on the design wall... need to sew them all together and then figure out the border.

Well this is the last post of 2018. I will be quilting my Millie most of the time I am closed so I can put her in our local quilt show in July.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

See ya in 2019!

Almost done for the year:)

As Christmas is fast approaching the baking and decorating has begun:) Hubby and I made fudge, chocolate peanut clusters, kit kats, and white trash yesterday. Today I am baking gingerbread cookies.
We also have the little live tree up and strung popcorn today to finish it up:)

As I have been baking/cooking I have been cleaning out cabinets and replacing the shelf paper. The ones I have finished look SO nice and clean! Of course there is some culling being done along the way also:)

I did get one quilt done and have been working on another the rest of the week and should... should finish it tomorrow:) It is almost a king size so taking a it of time:)

Fran made this beautiful batik quilt. I just love the colors!!!

Loops and 8's were quilted in every strip with King tut thread.

You can really see it all on the back:)

This is a peek of the quilt I am still working on....

All the chocolate peanut clusters I made:)

This will be the last week I am open and I am only here 2 days:)

Have Lunch Bunch, errands day and our Bee Christmas Party. 

It will be a busy and fun week for sure!

Hope yours is also!

December is here!

Hi All,

Hard to believe Christmas is just around the corner! Got the house lightly decorated again this year. Am sending 2 boxes of stuff to a cousin to enjoy:) Really don't need SO much stuff!!!! Now  do need fabric and thread:) LOL!!!!

The counter top guy came on Tuesday and we have him doing the counter top and the back splash for us:)  Home Depot will do all the work:) We are just tired! So the counter top will be this: https://www.cambriausa.com/Designs/design-palette/Brittanicca/
and the back splash will be white subway tile:) Nice and clean looking! Of course it will be 4-5  weeks until we can get it done:( Definitely bummed about that!!!

We did a bit more trim work today and hubby said it felt odd to not be doing anything:) It is time to rest:) I will redo all the shelf paper and cleaning out all the cabinets little by little:) Surprising how much stuff we have!

Got a little quilting done and have been working on my Sue Spargo birds pretty steady:)
So on with pictures:

Nancy made this sweet butterfly quilt.

She loves feathers so they are in the braids and on the border next to butterflies.

Used 4 -5 different purple colored threads.

Another one by Nancy using a digital bear print.

Just different colored curls all around the bear.

She made large Bear paw blocks and then got filled with swirls.

My Paper white.

Starting to bloom.

I had to tie her up as she is long and spindly... did not know I had to get her drunk so she wouldn't grow so tall. She has knocked the vase over twice so now she is in jail... kinda:) I will know better next time:)

Have 2 quilts to get finished before Christmas so have one loaded already for tomorrow:) No workmen or anything going on this week so hopefully will get some work done!!!

Have a great week!!!!
