Friday WIP+

Good Friday morning, I am in the process of sewing down the blades of my Halloween Dresdan Quilt, and listening to "The Cleaner" on Audio Books.  I am also half finished with the binding on my hexie Halloween Quilt!



Once the blades are sewn on, I can move down to the dungeon to do some quilting!  Later Gators!

Hey, It Is Fall, and The Weather is Beautiful!

Have you decorated your house for Halloween?  I have done the bathrooms and the front porch but not much else.  I just fixed myself a nice Mango Italian Soda, yummy.  This summer was the first time that I had one and was immediately addicted!  I have a counter full of syrups and a frig full of club soda.

I first saw this quilt on Pinterest and fell in love with it.  I did not realize that it was a disappearing nine patch but wait until you see it.  I made it smaller, more of a baby quilt size and quilted it with spider webs!




I have also been playing around with Ball Jars.  I made two "pumpkins" and a couple of pin cushions.


Enjoy your afternoon, until later...

Injury Update!

My knee does feel a lot better, thanks to Advil!  But I am not going to golf next week.   I am going to try to do some quilting tomorrow morning.  I have a few customers wondering where their quilts are!

I spent the morning watching the Seahawks lose and making another Twister Christmas Wreath.  I am going to have to check the first one that I made because I thing that there was another row of white all around.  I know I followed directions but...


I have to tell you that I finally found a short cut for shredding big zucchini for baking.  I peeled them, cut them into chucks, and froze them.  Then, yesterday morning, I pulled a package out of the freezer and used my "panpered chef" chopper to chop into small, small pieces..  I used to spend hours chopping zucchini with my food processor, WHAT A MESS, and IT TOOK FOREVER!

I made two loaves of lemon zucchini bread, one for now and one for the quilt retreat.  Oh, and by the way, I finished my scrappy "French General" quilt yesterday and it is sitting on the quilter!

Until next time...

Golf Injury?!

I played in a golf tournament this last week-end and "tweaked" my knee on the last hole Saturday.  I warmed up Sunday morning without pain, sew I figured that I was good to go.  By the end of the round, I was almost in tears my knee hurt so bad.

I have stayed home this week and spent some time with my sewing machine.  I haven't been able to do any quilting, just sewing.  Yesterday, I used up two partial jelly rolls of some "French General" collections and made a jelly roll race quilt.  BUT, I didn't like it, sew I have been cutting it up into 2.5" strips, making a 25 patch.  I like the look much better!  (It's a good thing because how can I cut the strips smaller?)  This is only four blocks but I like the scrappy look.


I joined a quilt guild last month and we/they are going on a four day retreat the first of November.  Yeah, another vacation.  However, this time I will have to make one meal!  LOL
