Summer has arrived:(

Hi All:)

The temps have been steadily going up and we are to be in the 100's this week already:( UGH!!!!
I have a feeling it's gonna be a scorcher this year:(

Not as much done as I had wanted.... the antibiotic side effects were doing a number on me so only quilted one day:( I did get my plan ready for the Judy Niemeyer I am starting tomorrow:) So I guess that's something! Also went to Bee:) I worked on an old UFO... prob 10 years??? Not done yet but maybe next week if I get some sewing time:)

On with the pictures:

First up are my Spargo birds #13, 14 and 15:) The next 3 are in the works:)

Cam made this original design for her mentor.

Lots of roses as that is the sorority flower.

I put roses in the corners and then filled the rest.

She had 2 floating roses so just had to add stems and leaves and then filler.

The back makes it reversible:)

Rosette #9 started:) 

Well as I was saying will be high temps so will be in Studio with AC running!!!! Will be home 3 days, have an appt to finish the lovely... sarcasm inserted... root canal and then  an errand day. And the week will be gone..... we got the texture on the bathroom walls and will paint next weekend... then floors..... slowly but surely!

Have an awesome week and stay cool or warm depending on where you are:)

Another busy week!!!

Hope everyone had a great week! Mine was filled to the top!!! Monday I got my teeth cleaned and quilted, Tuesday quilted and had Guild mtg, Wednesday quilted and had root canal, Thursday ran errands and quilted and Friday took the whole day off:) Of course that just means hand work:)

The root canal went pretty well... don't remember it hurting that much ... guess I just forgot! SO glad I got Tylenol with codeine!!! I also had an abscess under the root so am on antibiotics for 10 days:( I go back on the 30th to finish and then back to dentist to finish the root canal the following week...... SO not in a hurry to do that again!!!

Okay on to the quilting:)

First is Shelley's quilt made for her friend with Alzheimer's:(

I think it's called Hugs and Kisses. 

I did piano keys in the border and loops and hearts in the center.

I also did the emb on the back for her:)

Dot made this adorable Project Linus quilt. 

Just did loops all over with my favorite Joseph's Coat thread:)

Just love the bright fabrics and the backing!!!

Sue made this Aggie quilt. Told her mom when she dropped it off I can't do Aggie quilts:) LOL!!!

Just stippled all over with a light gray thread.

Oh and  here is the reason I did finally agree to quilt it... Hook'em Horns:)

Backing matched perfectly!

Another one of my Project Linus quilts I had made last year... finally quilted, bound and turned in.

Just stippled all over with black thread.

Elaine used a panel and added a border for this sweet quilt.

Looped all over with white thread.

Snugly flannel on the back.

Another panel quilt from Elaine.

Did turquoise curls all over. More snugly flannel as backing.

Rosette #8 is finished:)

Here it is with all of her friends... they have not been stitched together yet. #9 is going to be yellow.

Chloe was my challenge entry for our Art challenge with the guild. Unfortunately there were only 9 entries:( The theme was: I love...... Chloe is my daughters cat and will be shipped to Ohio as soon as they have settled in their new home.

The back is just TOO cool! Her name is on the gold charms and poms are being represented next to them:)

Should be a somewhat quieter week this week with more quilting:)

Had a lovely rain storm come through this morning and we ended up with 3 in of rain and 0 in the studio:)

Have an awesome week!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful day! I celebrated on Thursday also when my son and the 2 grand daughters spent most of the afternoon with me:) Fun times!!! Today my daughter called and we caught up:)There were gift cards and chocolate covered strawberries involved also:)

Another busy week here... just not in quilting:(
Had lunch bunch  and went to the dentist for a crown and he did half the work because now I need to have a root canal first:( Seems to be the story of my life right now.... so Monday I get my teeth cleaned and on Wed I get the root canal. Another fun week:) LOL!!!

I did get a few things done:

First up is Brenda's Crown Royal quilt.

Meandered all over with a green thread.

Never have seen different colors of the bags always thought they were purple. Learned something new:)

Next is Kathy J's quilt for her grand son.

Loops quilted all over with King Tut Joseph's coat... one of my favorites!

Loved seeing all the different fabrics:)

Even a piano!

Great backing:)

Finally caught up on my Steam punk BOM.

Worked on them at Bee last week and then finished them up yesterday.

Rosette #8 is moving along nicely:)

Hope everyone has a great week!!!

SO much better week!!!

Hi all:)

The bite is all healed and the rabies test came back negative... knew that already! His shots were up to date and he hadn't been messing with any wild animals.

I pretty much worked on one quilt all week... Dora flew in from NC just to bring me the quilt:) Really:) No not really:) She is visiting her SIL Dot and I knew the quilt was coming with her:)

I have also been getting my Guild challenges finished.....our art one is due on the 15th and the donation challenge is due next month. I know I am crazy but it is fun:) There will be pictures as soon as I can post them:)

OK on with the pictures:

This is Dora's wedding ring quilt.

Ruler and free hand work.... the flowers are all free hand and since nature never has the same exact flowers I am ok:) Right???

And surprise it's reversible also:)

Rosette #7 all done.....

I couldn't stand it any longer... I had to put all the rosettes on the poor empty design wall:) Can't put it lower as Bob does like to rearrange things. Looks awesome!!!!! Getting closer to the finish:)

Hope everyone has a great week... suppose to hit 90 tomorrow so our Spring is just about over:(

I am only home one day this week... busy busy!!!

The horrible, terrible week:(

Hi All,

Was definitely a bad week! Took Buster the eldest into vet on Monday... congested, loss of appetite and just looked like he felt icky... they took blood, and ran tests... all good. Then took urine from his bladder and my hand was by his head and bam I got bit:( UGH! So really for the $ he had tests and got some fluids and antibiotics. They treat you as a leper when you come in with a sneezing cat:( Suppose to be highly contagious.... he stayed in one of the exam rooms the whole time.
So went home and cleaned my bite... then quilted.

Tuesday woke up to see a red line going up my arm from the bite :( so went to urgent care and got a tetanus shot and antibiotics. Said if not better in 2 days to go straight to ER... what??? Well that got my attention!!! So went home and quilted:) Discovered I hadn't had a tetanus shot since 1973 :0

Wednesday the red line was lighter and Thursday is was almost gone:)  Today I only have a dime size redness around the bite... am still on antibiotics.

I did quilt on Wednesday and attended Bee on Friday. After Bee I had an appt to put Buster to sleep... he had absolutely no change since  Monday:(  He is now in no pain and playing with friends:)

So see why it was a horrible week? This coming week will be SO much better!!!!

Ok on with the quilts:)

RIP Buster... he was 14+ years old.

Kathy J's donation challenge quilt.

LOVE it!!!! Quilted hearts and then filled them in the plain squares and hearts and loops in the border. Love the prairie points!

Scrappy backings are my favorite.

Brenda was busy with a Sunbonnet Sue again:)

So sweet! mostly free motion and some ruler work.

Love the backing!

And Brenda made a Sunbonnet Sam? Not sure of his name:)

More free hand and ruler work.

Same backing:)

I got one of my Project Linus quilts quilted:)

Will let Pat bind and turn in for me.

I got these 5 Steampunk blocks finished at Bee. I am behind and the only time I really have right now is at the Bee:)

We have been working... very slowly.. on hubby's half bath.

This pic shows everything that we gutted a few weeks ago. The weather has not been cooperative so nothing has been done until.....

This weekend:) All the sheet rock has been installed and the first mudding done:) Will sand and reapply next weekend:) Yes the flooring still needs to come out and then we can see what needs to be replace underneath... We have most of the bigger items already purchased so after we get a bit further it should all fall together rather quickly:) I hope!!!..

Hope everyone has an awesome week!!! I SO plan to!!!
