spikes

I love the spiky quilts!

Also on my to-do list.

...I have the patterns...

...have the templates..

...the fabric and the books.

Just need more time...

...just need to wake up one day and

DO IT!!!

This is one intense quilt...I love it!

I should have included the makers names...sorry ladies.

Posting late today as I had to take DH to the hospital for a procedure. All is good so far.

Working on some new projects...will share when I get everything together.

It's Idol night!

More tomorrow.

Tuesday update

The quilt show was....

...a little scant on quilts this year.

But great for shopping.

Heard that someone new took it over.

I saw this quilt from across the room and thought ahhhh.

Looks like Ruth McDowell.

And yes, she used Ruth's book Pieced Flowers.

I have that book somewhere....

...on my ever growing to-do list.

I thought of Spring, my favorite season.
And now we are having spring like temps all week.
In the 60's!
Love it.

I will show some more favorite quilts this week.

And I have not forgotten our little contest with those
yellow ish
post it note looking
not square potato chip
thingies from last week.
I will give one more clue and draw a name on Friday...
....when you will find out what the heck they are.

Have a good tuesday!

the sweetest thing

Not the song...

....not the movie..

...my sweet little helper!

She has to always be by my side...but sewing with her...

is impossible!

...my latest bag creation...it's Elvis!

Have a great weekend!

fun gift

I love this!
Found it in a magazine months before Christmas...

...showed it to DH.
He remembered and gifted it to me at Christmas!

Hint update on yesterday's contest.

They are made of fabric...

...and will be used in an art quilt.

Keep guessing...there will be a winner.

Have a great Wednesday!

Tuesday stuff

Still here....

...happily back on my old computer.

Lost the cord for downloading photo's.

Looked for it all day...

DH found it...right where I left it....duh!

So the last couple days I have been printing my own fabric.

It's so much fun but I have other things I need to attend to.

I printed these up for a project...

....the first person to tell me what they are will win a prize.

Hint: they are not square potato chips.

...tomorrow I will show you what this is.

It's one of my favorite gifts.

American Idol starts tonight!

a new bag

Yay! I'm back complete with my pictures.

Here is the Earth....don't spend it all at once.

This is my first "green" bag.

Made with recycle fabric's.

Forgot to photograph the inside.

It was skull fabric.

It's a new year so I am back purchasing yummy fabric's again.

I will share those with you later.

Quilt show this weekend!!

hanging in there

My blog feels so naked without any photo's.

I downloaded some pic's and now I can't find them.

This weekend I will be able to go back to my old computer.

Things will be normal again.

I know things are supposed to be better with the new one.

Change is not always the best thing for me.

It is freaking cold here today!!!

It's 13 degrees.

That should be illegal.

I know there are people laughing at me from some of the colder states.

I lived in upstate NY for 7 years and got used to the cold.

But I don't care for the ice.

Last night after bowling we had to drive 25 miles home...

...on a solid sheet of ice!

It took nearly an hour....not my idea of fun.

And you have the nutballs that are driving like it's everyday traffic.

They nearly spun us out.

Today I am thankful to have power...

...and be in my warm home.

Not whining....just telling it like it is.
