Fall is finally here.

I have been busy working on several different things since I last posted. I have a couple of pictures that I will post. Plus I have some great pictures of my sewing room.

The thanksgiving wall hanging is all needle turn applique. I have been working on it off and on for a couple months. I'm in the process of quilting it now, hen i will go to the Quilted Lily to hang in the store. The other is Bright Christmas by Patrick Lose. It is hanging in the store to help kick off Party with Patrick that we are going o start in November.

I have also finishe hand quilting my Liberty wall hanging I will post a picture after I get it hung.

Guess that is it for now. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Fall is on it's way

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is the first day of fall. It is starting to cool down a little bit but when it decides to rain it is still very humid.

I have been very busy working on samples for The Quilted Lily. That is the quilt store that I go to twice a week just to get out of the house and I also teach class there occasionally.

I'm so looking forward to Thanksgiving. I am going to go to visit my kids and friends the last 2 weeks of November. I think I might have Michael talked into flying up after me and staying a week. I will be cooking dinner at Parnelli's house and then probably doing the following day at Mario's for left overs. I'm sure that it will be very cold (at least to me) while I am there. The last time I was there 6 years ago for Thanksgiving it was snowing.

I guess I had better get busy and try to at least put away the stuff I brought home from the quilt store.

Happy Birthday to ME

Today I turn 61. I can remenber a time when I thought 30 was old now I am way over that and so are my children.

I have been working on a few things. A Thanksgiving wall hanging for the store. I read the book "Aloha Quilts" and fell in love with the way they are made so I have started one of those. I am also knitting a hat and fingerless gloves for Mike. Yes it does get cold here in the winter.

My shoulder is doing better but due to some staph infections that I can't seem to get rid of I have not been able to continue my PT. I have been on antibiatics off and on for the last 2+ months and they are totally kicking my butt. They finally started me on one for Mersa and it has done the trick and I am starting to feel better.

We are having a lot of rain here, usually in the afternoon and evenings. Still in the 90's during the day so I don't go out side much. It just wears me down.

We are hopefully going to go to Ohio for Thanksgiving. I am so looking forward to it.

Well that is alll for now I will post some new pixs when I get something finished.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

I have been very busy since I posted last. Back and forth to the doctors and PT. Only one more PT appointment and then that is done.

I have been working on my niece's quilt. I have one more border to put on then I just need to make sure I have enough fabric for the backing. I have also done a couple samples for the store and have some others to get done before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I decided that I should sew together the DJ block that has been laying here for over a week. I have also been hand quilting my Liberty Garden wall hanging that I have had done since 2000.

I'm working on probably too many projects at the same time but I get bored so easily that I have to jump around. Eventually I will get something finished that belongs to me and not someone else.

It has been really hot here the past week. So I am staying in as much as possible. Busy week next week then everything should be back to normal. We are looking forward to our vacation in September.

Every one try to stay cool.

Finished another one

This is a Halloween quilt sample that I made for the shop. I also did a table runner that I didn't take a picture of. I am going to change it up a little and make one for fall and Christmas.

Today I got out a UFO that I finished appliquing in 2003. It is the first applique wall hanging I had done. I have it pin basted and have started hand quilting it. Boy am I ever rusty when it comes to hand quilting. I have a DJ triangle cut out but haven't had enough concentration to work on it. Maybe in a couple days.

I hope every one has a great week.

second consignment quilt

I am dropping this baby quilt off at the quilt store today. It is the second consignment quilt in 2 weeks. I can't wait to see what she might have for me today.

I have been working on my DJ blocks. Tuesday I got 2 blocks, 1 corner triangle and 2 triangles made. Last night I made another triangle and cut one out. It is about time I go excited about completeing something. I have made Tues. my DJ day. Wed is PT day and what ever I feel like doing and Thursday is working on other projects.

Girls are leaving

It doesn't seem possible that they have been here 3 weeks already. I hope that they had fun while they were here. There really is not a lot to do atound here that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

We will be leaving in a couple hours to go to Orlando to spend the night and maybe we will get to do something there before they leave tomorrow early afternoon.
