Happy Late St Patty's Day:)

Hope everyone wore their green yesterday?? My family is Scottish so no green for me:)

What seemed like a short week turned into an even shorter one with the time change....UGH!

Had Lunch Bunch this week and also had to take a sick day.... called the boss and she said to stay at home so I did:) HA!!! Cedar attacked me pretty good... it is now out of the allergy report and I am feeling much better! This will last until the Cottonwood blooms:) I know always something!

Well I did get a bit done anyways....

Marylyn made this wonderful Texas Flag quilt for her son in law for his bday next month.

Lots of fillers... curlz, stippling, swirls and mini loops along with the beadboard border.

Nice closeup of quilting.

Western backing is perfect!

Millie rosette #6 is moving along nicely!

I had forgotten to post this picture last week... it's the backing I bought for my Bee quilt at the Dallas Show. Now to find time to finish it:)

We had a Spring.. really?... storm come through last night. Mother Nature was pretty angry! Lightning, thunder and lots of wind and rain... in fact the rain was going sideways. We got 1/2 in and yes more water in Studio but I was prepared:) I have moved one of the cabinets out of the corner that leaks and put a cart that rolls there instead. The cabinet was starting to fall apart with me moving it all the time:( I think I am ready for more whenever it comes now... will get hubby to reseal everything when it dries up.

No work on bathroom this week as we are still waiting for plumber to call back... glad it's not an emergency! Will call a different one tomorrow.

Had the heater on at the beginning of the week and now the AC is on... just Texas weather around here ya'll:)

Have an awesome week!!!!

Have Guild and Bee this week.

Spring has started to show:)

Hi everybody!

What a busy week... I got to quilt 2 days, had the We Care Bee and then on Friday Pat and I headed to Dallas for the show and stayed to do the MABD on Sat. BUSY!!!

So I did a few items quilted:

Huong made this one for her niece.

Kind of an I Spy:) We used Modern Squares pantograph in light grey thread.

A nice comfy flannel for the back.

Elaine made this fall quilt .

Love the batiks she put in it.

Quilted loops all over.

My Millie rosette #5 is finished:) #6 is started and will be reds.

Elaine also made this snuggly flannel quilt.

I quilted curls all over.

Love the backing!

A male chemo quilt is all done.

Quilted loops and stars all over

LOVE this backing!!!

The new Tula is in my house:)

Made this chemo top at the We Care Bee... they supplied the kits and we supplied the labor:) Still needs to be finished but it's not due till April... wow....that's next month:)

My goodies from the Dallas Show.... lots of Kaffe for my Millie and the spray bottle is awesome!!!

And while we were in Dallas we got to deliver the secret quilt to Judy:)

Pat made this one using a Tula jelly roll:)

I just looped all over:)

Hopefully this next week will be quieter:) Only Lunch bunch and hopefully get a plumber to check all the plumbing the back bathroom since hubby got all the tile and sheet rock removed. It is all pretty much original so we thought we would rather be safe them sorry!!! Hope to get the sheet rock up next weekend:)

Have an awesome week!!!

Things are starting to bloom around here:) Yea!

March has arrived:)

The temps have warmed here in the South and the storm chances are on the increase:( Had a rough one come through Wed night with lots of thunder, lightening, and 3/4 in of rain most of it going sideways:( Did get a bit in the studio and had to clear out one of my cabinets and gave it away. It was getting pretty unstable with me moving it all the time:( I have ordered a 4 shelf cart that will be on wheels so took care of that:) So when this front blew through it kept blowing in Thursday and I was in it most of the day running errands and by the end of the day I was miserable:( Carried on through all day Friday until I started feeling better Sat... thinking cedar allergies:( UGH!!! Oh well life goes on and I will be back at the quilter Monday:)

Did get a few items done:)

Mary from our Dallas group mailed this one to me to quilt:)

Has a lot of fun playing:)

And you can see it on the backing:)

Such sweet kitties!!!

Judy Mc's Texas Flag.

Did you know it was Texas Birthday on March 2? 

LOTS of free motion quilting!!!

I made this... excuse me Bob!

For my daughter... she is  a big Jane Austen fan and attended the birthday party last year and is returning this year:) The pattern is from Elephantz... you can find all her beautiful patterns on Craftsy:)

Short week with a Bee mtg and a trip to Dallas Quilt Show:)

Ya'll have a terrific week!

There really is a sun!

We had so much rain and /or dreary days this week! Makes a person sad:(

Ended up with a little more then 3.25" of rain for the week. Had leaks 2x but not past the cabinet... I always have towels in the leaky corner!

Was home most of the week except for Bee and an errand/lunch with a friend day:) Was nice to get out even if it was miserable!

Got a quilt done plus a few other items:)

Huong redesigned a pattern for her daughter and this is the outcome:)

She wanted me to custom quilt it so there are feathers and swirls:)

The layout gives you flowers and stars...  really a stunner!

Tula Pink backing and amazing quilting:) LOL!

The second row is on Millie rosette #5.

My BOM Steampuck blocks got sewn at Bee this week:)

And my gdaughter called to let me know she has a new Emoji comforter and plain white boring curtains.... could I make her some different curtains? Well of course Nana had to get right on that!

She loved them:)

Enjoy the week and hopefully the sun shines all week for everyone!!!

Another week gone in February.....

Hi All:)

Hope everyone had a great  week... we had the normal undulating temps and more clouds then sun:( I am ready for Spring to arrive!!!

Just had lunch bunch and errands one day this week:) So I was home:)

Buster had a vet appt and at his age of 13 he is starting to pull his hair out again:( So after a lovely steroid and antibiotic shot he is more himself:) Will see how long it lasts... we are now more taking care of his day to day then his extended life.

Okay time for pictures:

Brenda made this quilt... not sure of the name but I am guessing plaid or interwoven?

Couldn't decide on thread color as a light one would show on the dark and the dark on the light... so I went with the dark to match the back.

And here is the back:) Just a stipple all over.

Here is her fall Turning Twenty quilt.

Used Autumn Days King Tut thread and looped all over.

SO pretty!!!

Marlene made this Pooh quilt.

I made sure to make the stars pop:)

Minkie on the back.

My Chopsticks quilt top all done..... is not crooked... just the angle I took the picture. Got the backing fabric on the mail on Vday:) YEA! We don't celebrate Vday around here... we love each other every day not just one day a year:)

Rosette #4 is all done:)

#5 is started:)

Today I am working on my Sue Spargo wool birds again while hubby watches Nascar:) Only have 2 projects in my Ikea cart when I normally have 3 so need to find something else to add... I do like to have choices:)

Have Guild and Bee this week:)

 Oh and am also quilting:)
