403 Post Celebration

Yes, I am late but TO CELEBRATE I am going to giveaway two tote bags!  I still need to make them, so I will draw the lucky winners next Friday, August 10, 2012.  I had the most bloggers looking at my "Ghastlie" tote, so that's the first and my "Lucy's Crab Shack" tote will be the second.  Be sure to let me know your preference!

Yikes

Yikes, I missed my 400th post.  Let me think about it for awhile and decide what to giveaway!  Any suggestions?

Sunday Afternoon

I think that it was a week or so ago that I asked "Is it fall yet"?  Well...

Small Ghastlie Tote (Sold)

Sunday Morning

It was an absolutely beautiful morning out on the golf course.  80 degrees, a gentle breeze and no tournaments to slow us down!!

I have started a quilt for a member of our extended family.  She finally decided on a black Irish Chain.  I am also using Bella Solids--Stone!  Here is just a small sample of the fabric that I have cut.  It will be beautiful.  I will keep you updated on my progress.

I also started a couple of tote bags but they are much smaller than my Sweetwater tote.  Pictures will follow when finished!

Have a great afternoon.

Lucy's Crab Shack Tote

I stopped at our local "Craft Warehouse" this morning and was a very bad girl!!  One of the many fabrics that I bought was some of "Lucy"s Crab Shack" blue canvas and made this:

Outside Fabric

Inside Fabric with Pocket

I added a "Lucy" label and my name label;  all from the "Sweetwater Label Crew"!

Quiltmaker Magazine

While checking my facebook page today, I came across this:
 

Quiltmaker Magazine via Kansas City Star Quilts

Help out the folks at Kansas City Star Quilts and get published! Check it out.

www.pickledish.com

Want one of YOUR quilts published in a book?! We’re in need of some quilts to publish in the 8th installment of the My Stars series – and we’re hoping you can help us out!

I went to the site and looked at the blocks and this one popped out at me.

 
It looks exactly like the quilt that I made for our niece.  So, I sent in a picture!

BOM Rehab

Well, this morning I played golf and missed the call in to work.  But I got my BOM Rehab finished when I got home.

"General's Wives"

 I have been working bit by bit on my "Spools" quilt and should have it finished soon.  I have also been dinking around with my pouches but you will have to click on the "Pouches" page to see them.  If you are not interested, then you won't have to look at them in my normal blogs! :)

Tetris #1

I have joined Melissa at Happy Quilting for a Tetris Quilt a Long.  I am using Moda's "Sophie" rather than scraps.  Here is my first block!

Is it Fall Yet?

I know that it is still July but I have a crazy urge to start some fall/halloween projects.  I received my fall "Primitive Quilts and Projects" magazine and love the quilt on the front cover.  I have ordered the background fabric and gone through my stash for fabric.  I am now set to start.  However, I would like to finish my "Spools" quilt first.  Since I am off tomorrow...

BOM Re-hab

I didn't get to play golf this morning, I got called into work.  But I was able to get one block finished of the "General's Wives" BOM.  I was also able to make a small and a larger matching pouch.

General Wives BOM (I am going to have to get my seam ripper out--one square is WRONG!)

 PS  We had the best dinner at my sil's Saturday.  She ordered a brisket, pulled pork, and cole slaw from "Hogg Heaven BBG" in downtown Prosser.  Yum, Yum!

Opportunities

No golf today.  There is an all day tournament.  So, this morning I got up and quilted my cousin's quilt!

I also made a dessert and broccoli salad to take to my sil's for supper.  It is her husband's 60th birthday.  Happy Birthday Jim!

I have set a limit on my latest obsession--little pouches.  I got a bargain on zippers on ebay, so when I run out, I will quilt.  Did I mention, that I got 30 zippers of various sizes!!  LOL!

My plan for tomorrow:  play some golf, work on my BOM Re-hab and then, I just don't know!  Relax??

Golf Bags

Here is my latest "Golf Bag"!  It is double sided and about 8" x 8" and is going to be given to my golf buddy, Frieda!!

Don't forget, tomorrow is FNSI!

Construction Zone

House construction continues.  I pick colors that I think will look good but when finished, I just don't know.  Opps!  Posted a little early.  The rest of the group will post on Thursday!

BOM Rehab

I worked on my "Vintage Kansas City Star" BOM this morning.

Now, I need to construct another homespun house.
