Before I log off and start dinner--pasta primavera--I must tell you that I quilted my Schnibbles this afternoon along with another quilt, which I will show you tomorrow. I will do the binding while watching the Mariners WIN!
Oh yeah, did I tell your that I am on vacation this week! YAHOOOOOOO

I have finished my Schnibbles September quilt. I will quilt it this afternoon. I had a heck of a time figuring how do make the flying geese. I had learned a different method. I think that I spent more time on the flying gesse than the rest of the quilt.

I caught my sister in the act! I put the leaf in my dining room table so the two of us could sew together and visit. She rather took over! But, she was happy and this is her picture!

Help me, help me, I have created a monster--My sister has finished her first quilt top and is hooked. She is arriving in eastern Washington this afternoon and is bringing me her new prize so I can quilt it for her. Isn't it Awesome! What do you think?
I think I have an idea--sending her home with one or two of the quilts that she wanted me to make! LOL

Good morning everyone. While wandering around blog land this morning, I came across an interesting sight from Australia, Bush Baby Jag . Julie is helping her son sponsor a Pink Ribbon Breakfast with the proceeds going to Breast Cancer Research. Help Julie and her son, Matt, and the rest of us in our fight against Breast Cancer.

Great morning, I am still going to work without a jacket! While checking out some of the blogs on my bloglist, I came across a darling ribbon quilt giveaway at Our Cozy Nest. Nicole is also today's tutorial on Moda Bake Shop! Check both places and have a great Tuesday!

I forgot earlier: Good Monday morning!! I just received an email from the Fat Quarter Shop and I won a "Wiscasset Charming Jelly Cake" (A jelly roll, charm pack, and fatquarters) as a prize for participating in the Pennslvania Dutch BOM. AWESOME! and Thanks Kimberly.

I am ready. The fabric has been picked--"Kansas Winter", the fabric has been cut and now all I need is a little time to get started! LOL
PS Of course I will show the finished product--before the end of the month!
Have you wondered why I haven't posted any pictures since the 1st of September? Here is why: I finished this queen size quilt for ME! It is made with "Iced Mocha" from Henry Glass.

Okay Vicki, 3 down and 3 to go! Here is Jason's quilt! I tried to get a close up of the fabric. It is "Hole in One" by Clothworks. Can you guess that Jason is a golfer??!! Oops, Vicki corrected my numbers. It is actually 4 down and 3 to go!

Remember Melinda's quilt (7-13-2009). She sent a pic of her daughter, Heather, snuggled with the quilt on the couch. It was Heather's birthday present!

Good Monday morning, I finished my "Celebrate Spring" quilt for my friend's granddaughter. As I finished the quilt top, I was thinking of making a run to the fabric store for backing. But, when I thought about it, I had to buy so much extra fabric, that I made 6" strips for the backing. What a stash buster!!
Countdown: 1 quilt for my friend's daughter and 4 quilts for my sister. Plus 2 baby quilts for a gal at work. Quilting sort of keeps me out of trouble!

I have been visiting Laurie Simpson's blog (click here) quite a bit lately and telling her how much I love "Prairie Paisley". I finished the binding on this 60" x 60" darling last night and brought it to work this morning for "Show and Tell". One of our engineers bought it immediately!
I think that I need a "design wall" to see the whole picture. I would have changed a few placements. But, I still love it!

Remember Dick and Jane?
This is Vicki's Christmas present for her grandson, who will start kindergarden this year.
By the way Vicki, this will not look good on your couch!

This is a quilt called "Antique Brick" designed by Judy Rothermel. I really liked it. Then when I started sewing the pieces together, I didn't like it. The sashing was a woven fabric that stretched as I sewed. I put the whole thing away for awhile and then two weeks ago brought it back out and finished it. Now, I really like it again. Our niece is getting married in the fall and she might be getting this as our gift. We shall see...
