Spring like weather:)

Hi All!

Another week flew by:)

First we got VERY exciting news last week... sorry a week late:(....

Grand baby #3 will be here Jan 9th or earlier if my DIL has anything to say about it:) LOL! She wants the tax deduction... don't we all! 

So after that excitement you still have the rest of the blog to read:)

I got together with our lunch bunch on Tuesday sans the lunch part but did enjoy visiting and having some coconut cake:) Friday I got together with 2 quilting friends at one of their houses. We went out to eat at a BBQ place but all had burgers:) LOL! Then back to do hand sewing and much needed talking. Was really nice! Plan to do it again in a few weeks at another house. My turn will be after that:) And the best part of both was the hugs and no masks!

So we did get some quilting done and they have been picked up:)

Dot made this wonderful Christmas tree. 

I sure wished it was cooler when we quilted it:)

We did E2E using a design called Victory with King Tut gold thread.

Love the quilting on the back... reversible!

A Pl to practice the next design on.

LOVE the backing fabric!!!

Finished my Fall wool project. The Spring is ready to start now.

Dot's Tulip quilt.

We used E2E design called Bug-a-boo and King Tut thread called Joseph's coat.

It is a wedding gift for way further down the road:)

Dot's last quilt is called Crayon Box.

We used E2E design called Curly.

And once again Joseph's Coat as the thread.

They all turned out so nice!

Bought this pattern and tray a few weeks ago and got it stitched up really 

fast after I finished Fall. It was my handwork when I sewed with quilting friends.

So my kids got me an Amazon GC for Mother's Day. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted and then most of it was gone by the time I actually decided:( So....

I ordered the Martelli rotating cutting mat and ironing pad.

Son said he was SO glad he bought me a large pancake after I sent him a picture:) He is SO funny!!!

So far I love it. I have only used the cutting mat and prob will only use that part as I use my wool mat for pressing. It rotates SO smoothly! The best price is on Amazon!

So I have been wanting a concrete birdbath. The one I have been using was a gift from my son many many years ago but had been knocked over SO many times by critters it was very lopsided. So I found Dave on FB marketplace. He lives in Kempner and is a veteran. His Dr told him to find a hobby:) LOL! He soon discovered that after giving away his first items none of his family and friends wanted anymore so he figured he would start selling them. Well he does a great job and was joy to visit with.

So Hubby found this sweet cat... yup came home with us:) Those are the Texas plants I planted last week and they are still alive:) LOL!

Well then Hubby found him. Of course he had to have him:) LOL! So now I see him every time I look out my kitchen window:) There was also a Steelers one my son would of loved but we had run out of cash...thankfully! He was pretty low on a lot of items but I will be keeping my eye out for more items:)

So finally have a massage scheduled for this week and am looking forward to it and more quilting... back to custom:) Was nice to have the break!

Have an awesome week and stay well!
