MOVING - FINALLY

We are moving May 15th ..........     Soooooo much packing and getting things in order for the move.    At least I'm not stressed any more....lol     I will start  posting again after we get settled.

Isaac's Dinosaurs

Finished putting this top together last night,  now to get it quilted and send it out to the BIG boy.......

Irish Chain

This is my get then on feathers........   I pieced this top five years ago,   it has been on and off the frame  for a month because of all this viewing and showing of  the house.    Decided I need to hurry up and get it off the frame so I can take the frame apart for moving.    Finished this bugger up last night.

This is all freehand except the border which I used a stencil .....    Once we get moved and settled I will put it back on the frame with the back up and add background fill.

Dinosaur Applique

This is what I worked on today,   finally got all the appliques cut out and fused to the background fabric.   Tonight I will assemble the quilt and it will be ready for quilting.     Have been soooooooo busy the past two weeks.    We have another open house tomorrow so things should slow down for next week.    Maybe I can get some quilting time in.........

Had a nice visit with my daughter and granddaughter,  they were in town for a week.    Also did a little landscaping around the house for this weekend.

Little Piecing Time For Me

This is what I worked on this weekend  in between cleaning out my parents house and putting STUFF in storage.    Will close on their house tomorrow,   one house out of the way.........    yeyyyyyyyyy!

Simple quilt design.......   You know me,   I love SIMPLE!

Enlarged the fabric print for the appliques,  now to decide if I want to do raw edge or turn.........   hummmmmmmm

This quilt is going to be so cute,   Big boy thou!!

Dinosaur fabric,  love the green one,  it looks like dinosaur skin.

Blocks   5 x 5

Fabric starched and ready to go.    The light green is for the weird looking bird.

                                                 Solid background is for the dinosaurs............



























I enlarged the fabric print for the dinosaurs,   cut them out and now I'm ready to start the applique work.

Dinosaur Quilt - Time to Play Catch Up

I'm OKAY!!! .....   just been very busy,  not much quilting going on.     Been working on my mothers home,  sold it last week and will close on it next week.     Had more viewing with our home the past couple of weeks.    People are interested just waiting for an offer.    I'm tired of cleaning and keeping  things in order.    Spending  time with my youngest daughter and her father who I took to the ER,  who is now in ICU with a bad heart and respiratory infection.    So not much quilting is going on around here.     I did start to design a Dinosaur quilt for a nephew ......    The little guy (6)  wants a big boys room and he loves Dinosaurs.    This is a swatch of fabric that I enlarged,   printed out and will applique each one from a fat quarter on to a solid back ground.     This will be a fun quilt to make........

Our snowfall the other night.........

Buddy in trouble as always........   He knows he is not to be on the back of the sofa without his blankie.

GUILTY

Happy Valentines Day

I love this quilt.......    I want to make it one of these days.    I don't remember who has this pattern or kit but I really love it.

I have been a very busy girl these past weeks.    Working on quiet a few projects,  remodeling a house,  having open house,  packing,  cleaning, working on quilts,  started a new blog to sell antiques etc......   busy,  busy, busy.   Turned down teaching longarm quilting classes also, just to busy.......   Here are a few quilts that I worked on in between packing and cleaning.

                                       Customer's quilt that I finished up a couple of weeks ago........

My quilt top that I've had for five years and finally quilted it.....   This will be  used for an everyday quilt.   I love the colors is this quilt.
