Wedding Napkins

This is what has been keeping me very busy. I am making napkins for Emily's Wedding. I try to make four a day. i will be making 150 and I have about 50 done!!

Here is the fabric I am using

a petal pink print...

and a soft yellow....

When the Wedding is over they will be washed cut and made into a quilt.

Now I need to go and make my four for today!!

Have a nice day!!

QATW Blocks

Hi, I hope everyone had a nice weekend.
My was filled with shopping...
I found my dress for Emily's Wedding!!!!!!
Softball, in the cold to watch Maggie.
Laundry, oh my Heavens, laundry!!
and some sewing.
Here are my latest blocks for the QATW bee.

Have a wonderful day!

Hmmm......

What do you think?

Does anyone have the Accuquilt Go Machine?

I am thinking of getting one and was questioning a few things. I called the company and of course, silly me, they raved about the machine. but I would love to hear what you think.

Does it waste fabric?

I feel my fabric might look like swiss cheese!!

Do the squares stretch and then are not the same size?

Would it just be easier to cut the squares?

I feel that when I cut squares if the ruler is not set exactly on the same mark the same way they are off a smidge. And as we know a smidge can add up to another and another until you are way off!

So I am thinking this may solve my problem, but I just cannot decide!!!

Hmmmmm..............

This movie ranks in my top ten list of favorites. I love all of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies, but there is something special about this one.
I really need to see Mt. Rushmore!
Have a great weekend!!

For I only have eyes for you……….

Friday Flick Pick # 6

How about something new!!
Princess and the Frog(209)
With the talented voices of:

Anika Noni Rose as Tiana
Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen
Keith David
Michael-Leon Wooley
Jennifer Cody
Oprah Winfrey
Many more talented actors


What a wonderful animated tale, it true Disney style. It has been a while since I have loved a Disney film. This is one of those. If you have not seen it yet, please do so.
Set in New Orleans, Tiana has a dream, to own her own restaurant. But kissing a frog, may make that dream only a dream. It also has a wonderful musical score.

Warning, there are some intense scenes so a little one might want to close their eyes, but that seems to be in all Disney movies. All in all, fun to watch.

Jane’s vote 4 stars

I had no idea Oprah was in the film, now I guess I will just have to watch it again!!
Have a great weekend!!

Friday Flick Pick # 5

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Staring; Too many to list!!
Director: Stanley Kubrick

Quote from The Internet Movie Base
“"2001" is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth (presumably elsewhere throughout the universe as well). Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon's surface, where yet another monolith is found, one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between computers (HAL) and human (Bowman) to reach the monolith placers. The winner will achieve the next step in evolution, whatever that may be.

Written by Larry Cousins “

Stash Manicure Post.....

Look for me at Stash Manicure today!

Advice Please.....

WARNING PHOTO HEAVY!!


When Little T was first born, I decided to make him a wall hanging using vehicles. I asked everyone who they would suggest to make these embroider pictures for me. The answer was unanimous, Michele form CalicoDaisy. We chatted on the phone (such a lovely lady) and came up with some designs. As you will see, she did an amazing job!! It has taking me a year to think about how I wanted to use the embroiders. I decided on a simple border for each as to not take away from the work. Here they are in all their glory;

Now I ran across a problem, one of the blocks was too big and part of the wings would be cut off, so I then had to eliminate another block.

These have been on my design wall for months as I have no idea how to proceed!!
Here is where I am asking for you advice…….

Should I put them together like this?

Should I put the plane in the middle? If so what color border should I use?

Should I make it 4 X 3 and just have part of the wings cut off? What color border should I use?

Should I keep the two out and eliminate one more for a 3 X 3 layout?

Sashing, border?? Holy Moly, I am so overwhelmed, I just have no idea how to proceed! Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you for bearing with me on this long post!!
