SEWING & QUOLTING….

Quilting and sewing…

with my sister on and off…I set up two sewing stations in my empty dinning room..this one below is my stations…it looks messy and it is because I am sew  on and off…I work awhile then take a break and sew and elevate my legs…so that is why working on house is going a little slow…but it is moving along…

And this is my sisters sewing station…with the ironing station in the back ground….she is working on a quilt for her youngest daughter…a crazy quilt that our grandmother made it was mostly in tatters but her daughter really loves it and ask if it could be repaired…we are taking all the good parts and adding new material to those then will piece it all back together …

Also last week I made these burp pad for my new GGD’s mom to use while burping her…I made 6 of them out of soft flannel…

After I got them made I looked at the shape and they reminded me of a dog bone…so I made a couple extra for my Maggie’s food and water bowls…and they are reversible ! Cute little owls…

Here is the one I made for the rig…cute little paw prints…sweet…

This is about it for now…I have been having a problem of to much data usage to fast ..on my Verizon Jet Pack…I post about it on my other blog so go take a look…maybe someone out there has an answer for me..thanks for looking and come back soon blessings to all donna

STASH AND A CRAZY QUILT….

In between….

all the work I have been doing on the house..I have been playing with material…this is my stash I organized it according to color…after I ironed it all…these are larger pieces..some have up to 3 yards….

and below are the crazy quilt blocks I have been working on for the last couple months…I have been using a bunch of small scraps I have collected thru out the years…in this pic I have them lined up on the bed..close together…

then I laid them out with space between them to see how they would look with strips between them…I think I like them like this…I have about 22 of them made….I need more….should I make  some scraps from my stash or hunt the yard sales and flea markets for some…hum what to do…

More stash…this is all holiday stash…in tote getting it ready to take with me….Thinking I would like to take some quilting classes..wish I could find some around here…

Well since I made this post…my GGD was born on 7-11-2014 wt. 7lbs 11 oz.…20 3/4 in long…here is a pic..

Charley Renee…

Everyone is doing great..happy and excited!

All for now come back soon and thanks for looking

YUMMY QUILT EYE CANDY…

Just before I left…

I found this local quilt shop about 5 miles from dads…oh my what goodies they have here..this was just one wall of material…

Below I took the pic just in side the front door..it was hard to get pix because they were busy that day….

And some finished items are hanging all over the store…I bet during the holidays this is a wonder land of goodness..

And a couple of finished quilts ..hanging around just two of many….

And the rest of the story…

When I get back I plan on taking a few classes that they offer at this store…later I will tell you the name I cant remember right now…in Aug. they are going to be involved in a shop hop…about a doz quilt shops from Tampa to Ocala will be on the tour…it is a two day event…I really wanted to go but I will not be in Florida at that time and…then I thought what would I do with my Maggie girl….on my down time from working on the house I want to be doing quilt stuff…but I am afraid to start something cause I don’t know what I am doing…even working on the crazy quilt blocks I found out I was doing some things wrong..most of what I am learning is from watching  Youtube..I can only watch on my phone and it is old slow and cranky…anyone out there know how I can get a new phone not pay full price and keep my Verizon unlimited data…??? Please let me know..well better get busy…thanks for looking and come back soon
