The Wedding quilt is DONE!

Just put the finishing stitch in the binding on the wedding quilt! I"m so happy! I"ll get a picture of it Wednesday since I go to guild and have lots of hands to help hold it up (especially tall people since it is so big!) Meanwhile I got a few more confetti blocks done. I also have been working on some thread organizers for our guild's boutique at our show in November, but no pics right now.

Off to Camp

I"m off to camp!!!! Well tomorrow I am! Finished my other clothespin bag for myself!

And made an emergency baby quilt for my sister. Her niece-in-law asked her oldest son to be the Godfather of their new baby, so she thought he should have a special present for the baby.

AND I got all my spool blocks together so I can take it to the quilter on retreat! This is a swap Darlene, Sharon, Wendy, Judy, and Carol did with me. It is going to be such a special quilt! I just love the way it looks!

And the wedding quilt is quilted and I have the binding sewn on. Now to sew it down on the back!

See you in a week!

Some finishes!!!

Have 2 new finishes to show you! So yes you've seen the tops done, but they are quilted now and have binding on them!!! (I didn't say the binding was sewn down though you notice). Above is my string stars. Doesn't it look great! Actually this one does have binding sewn down and has been on my bed for a week. Check out the back.

And my sisters wine quilt is all quilted! My friend quilted grapes and grape leaves on it. If you look hard you might see the grape circles. My sister is going to LOVE this!

And in case I didn't post it, the wedding quilt top is done and at the quilters as we speak! It is king size so I had a hard time getting the whole thing in!

The Wedding Quilt Top is DONE

Yes, I've been extremely busy. We never travel or go anywhere. This month we have been gone on long road trips 3 weekends in a row! I"m exhausted. But I did accomplish one thing! The wedding quilt top is DONE!!!! DONE I say!!!! And I had a about a 15" x 40" strip of background fabric left - now that was close! Taking it to the quilter tomorrow!

Last week went to Iowa for my middle daughters White Coat Ceremony. She officially is a P1 student now (1st year Pharmacy Grad School Student). They have a lovely ceremony where they get their white coats. My kids won't even let me take pictures anymore because they say - "its going on the blog". So Here is a picture of her with her white coat and lego head.

Wedding Quilt Update

I have the center done! Only the outside border to go!

The Wedding Quilt .... Again

Just a quick note since it is late. More progress on "the" wedding quilt! The center is 2/3 rds done! Wooo Hooo!!!!

The Wedding Quilt Continues

Miss Jan has been cracking the whip and is making sure I don't forget about the wedding quilt! So here is the center strip of it! 3 of 9 sections done! (Well actually I have been working on lots of the blocks needed for the other 6 so I have been busier than it looks). Thank you Miss Jan....

And go check out Darlene's Spool Quilt! I can't wait to get my blocks together. This is what mine looked liked as of March. Darlene's looks much better!

The Wedding Quilt Continues

Yup, it continues. I"ve now got 2 of 9 sections done. At this rate I might get it done for their 5th anniversary!

Wedding Quilt Progress

I did make a bit of progress on the wedding quilt! Here are the 9 center blocks! About 1/5th of the center done! (oh, and doesn't the blue tape add the little something extra!)

I"ve got so much going on these days. Holly is now busy packing up to move to Oklahoma. A friend told me today to slow down and take some deep breaths. So I did - and I hyper-ventilated! OK not really, but I could have!

Finally I quilted it

I finally got my scratch quilt quilted. I can't wait to use it this summer - it is perfect for summer. I just love the little letters on the background fabric. Oh darn, I forgot to take a pic of the fun back on this quilt. Well I"ll have to do it later.

And here is a second peek at "THE" Wedding Quilt. And no - this still isn't the design! It is a secret - and Holly checks in, so I can't show you what it will look like. Oh by the way, she is paniced that the red below looks pink. Adam gave me strict instructions - NO PINK! I've assured her - it is just how it looks in the picture. It is a red and white design fabric, but I needed it to end up looking lighter than a solid red I"m puttin in it elsewhere.

Hail, Hail - the quilt is started!

Yup, had hail today! But by the time I got my camera and a new battery the rain was melting it already. But for a bit it was crazy outside! I did get this shot in the grass before it had all melted and the one under the evergreens.

And while the weather was crazy outside I started "THE Wedding Quilt"! My oldest is getting married in October and I figured I had best get started on the quilt! She helped me pick out the fabrics, but has no clue what the design is. And showing you this first set of blocks will not in any way give it away!

Only 6 more months now! OMG! I had better get dress shopping! I keep telling her I'm wearing shorts and a tshirt! At this rate I may really have to!
