Cold yet again:(

The temps have gotten up to 70 before plummeting to the low 20's again:( The Groundhog or in our case the Armadillo did say there would be 6 more weeks of winter:( UGH!!!

Does tend to keep a body home and sewing:) Of course this week I wasn't home but 2 days.... 2 Bee's and errand day... still got things done:)

Got another block stitched out:)

Elaine made this sweet baby quilt.

I love that she let me "play".

It is for a little girl... I think she will love it!!!

Margaret stitched these out...she does such a great job!

Love that she used variegated thread for the roses... thought she kept changing threads... so glad she didn't:)

Solid white backing to show off the quilting:)

Cam made this memory quilt for her sorority sister.

These were pics 2 years before the son committed suicide:(

I hope it comforts her!

I bought these panels a few years back on sale and decided they needed to be a chemo quilt:)

All quilted and I bound it at We Care Bee.

Have decided to keep hand stitching the binding down... I machine did the 2 and did not enjoy it at all!!!!

This quilt had all parts donated and I just sewed them together:)

Wavy yellow lines to hold it all down.

Some boy will love this one!

Also made 3 pillowcases for donation... kits were available at We Care Bee.

Yet another block finished.....

Sewed all the Chopstick blocks together at Sew Creative Bee....

Yet another block:) Almost done!!!!

Ok so I told you Margaret was going to give me her MIL treadle... like last year..... 

Well here she is!!! Her name is Flossie after the MIL and she works!

Her serial number has her made in 1898.

She came with this amazing box of accessories.... need to research that a bit:)

Here it is all closed up.

Here is her face plate. She needs a really really good cleaning!

The Singer ensignia.

A whole pic of her:)

So have been doing a bit of research to see what I need to clean her with.... there are rust like spots on her but it's not rust... maybe just dirt as a dirt dabber has a home in it... he has moved out:)

I am SO glad to add Flossie to the family!!!

MIL fell after her shower on Friday... the health aide told her to stay right there and she did not 

listen:( She had a cat Scan and all is good... she went to Bingo Sat and is there now:)

Hope ya'll have an amazing week!!!

Super Bowl:)

Yes we still watch football..... not happy with some of the teams behavior but it's still football:) Go EAGLES!
As I am typing this Hubby is tearing out part of his bathroom wall:) YEA!!!
And my Jury Duty has been cancelled for tomorrow:) What an awesome day!!!

Busy week quilting here:

This is the first of Tricia's quilts. It is from the pattern Chopsticks by Jaybird Quilts. Yes I have one already cut out using a Tula bundle:)

I custom quilted it:)

Remember if you click on the picture it will make it bigger:) I SO want you to see the quilting!

The backing is really cool!

Another one made by Tricia!

VERY modern and fun for me to quilt!!!

As you can see in the closeup:) I used a new ruler on the border and lots of swirls.

It needed a bit of color so there are straight lines of color coming off the blocks:) Really cool!!!

The backing really goes well with the quilt:)

Lenore made this Disappearing 9 patch quilt using some batiks.

Feathers in the border and then curlz all over.

Unusual backing choice!

Got 2 more Bee blocks stitched out.... only 5 more I think:)

Well that's all from here.... have We Care Bee and my regular Bee this week so only home 2 days... SO glad no jury duty!!!

Have a great week!!!!

January is almost done......

The weather has been nice and the cedar horrible:( I have been able to keep functioning so far:)

I finished one custom quilt and started the next one... both are for Tricia so hopefully it will get finished this week:)

Had Bee on Friday... always a fun time and I got some sewing done also:)

MIL has the flu and is quarantined at her assisted living center. So hubby was home all weekend:) He is off again next weekend as his Sister is due to spend a few days. I am hoping to start the remodeling of his bathroom... we have the vanity purchased and will start by tearing out the old original tile on the wall... we will go slow but steady:)

Okay enough about me:) Here are some pictures:)

Kathy made this sweet quilt for one of her grandson's.

I meandered using King Tut thread called Joseph's Coat... perfect for the many colors:)

Love the backing and border set in triangles.

Kathy also made this quilt from one of the Guild classes last year.

Just loop meandered..... love the flowers!

Plain muslin backing.

Got these 5 sewn at Bee:) The next Steampunk BOM will be shipped next week so I am still caught up:)

And PURRRRfect is finished:)

I quilted all those lines on Dazi... took for ...ever!!! I got it done before I reopened.

The butterflies have been treated with a stiffening spray and are fluttering around.

The backing was in the stash. I had to order the binding fabric since I couldn't find anything in Dallas... found it on Etsy.

The next row on Millie is all made... have started sewing them all together. There is one more row to this Rosette.

Well that's all from here.... home most of next week so there will be quilting going one for sure!!!

Have a great week!
