Sew Bee Wonky Blocks....

I was able to finish tow blocks last night. Our February gal gave us carte blanche to make any wonky blocks we wanted! I had such fun making these for her. She is going to have a great quilt with all the fun blocks she will be receiving! If you would like to take a peek at some of the blocks, just click the Sew Bee Wonky Button on my sidebar. My month is April!

The Final Piece of the Puzzle!

It is done!!!

Our big re-model job is officially done. Our new queen sleeper sofa arrived. It would not fit!!!! So, they had to take it apart and reassemble it in the new room. There was no way I was going to pick out a new sofa, I just love it!

It is a soft cozy grey fabric. I choose red pillows for the accent as the table and chair set we have was my husband’s parents, circa 1950’s. The seats are red leather.

This is my new pink light. I turn off the overheard lights and this one is just right for getting cozy on the couch while watching TV!!

This picture shows my second red/aqua quilt. I think it works so well with the blue walls and red accents!



See that lump? That is me!!!

When I get older and cannot do stairs this is where I will be, just put a quilt over me and call it a day!!! I am already in Heaven!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Does this......

Does this happen to you?
Insomnia?
I did nothing unusual last night.
No coffee…
No sweets….
Normal computer surfing.
Hop into bed; wide awake, WIDE AWAKE!!!
Ok, just finished my book so nothing to read. Turn on the TV, The Nanny….
Then a little Of Conan…….
Wide awake…
Cannot give in…
Must stay in bed…
Oh look The Nanny is back on!!
2AM, set the TV timer……
Hmmm…..potty
2:30AM
Last time I saw the clock it was 3AM…
Next time I am just going to get up and
“pull an all nighter' ”!!

Hope you all had a nice Valentine’s Day and week.

Have a happy sewing weekend!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!

One of the first swaps I was in was with Nanette from Freda’s Hive. We all made Christmas Cottages using Nanette’s Pattern (HERE) and our fabrics. We sent them to her; she mixed them up and sent back new ones. This was such a fun swap and a great house pattern. I have used the pattern several times since.
I was so excited to receive my cottages and make my top. Well, it did not happen for that year, or the next, or even this past Christmas.

BUT………

It will for 2011!!!!!!

I finally have the top together! Oh my, it was such fun looking and placing the houses. It brought back such fond memories!!!

Hmmmm, I have a lot of tops done….

Quilters elbow is going to start if I hand quilt to much.
Man getting old stinks!!!

Here it is….

Not sure how to quilt it? Any ideas???

Happy Valentines Day!!

The Top is Finished!

I finished the top! It went together like a great puzzle. Thanks to Elaine all the pieces fit! I think one of the reasons I liked this pattern was the colors. I usually do not work in these tones, but something about it shouted “Try me, give me a chance”!
I am so glad I did. She is now marked for quilting and ready to be made into a quilt sandwich.

I was very happy to find out that Joann’s had their thread 50% off; so, nuts! I had to go shopping since some of theses colors I did not have in my stash.



The next step, the hand quilting. I hope to be able to show you the finished project in a few (many) months. Hopefully just in time for fall decorating!!

Have a “sew” filled weekend!
