Busy Sunday

I started my day making bread and cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon rolls mostly for a work event tomorrow. This afternoon I finished up a order for 14 coasters. I am so glad to be finished. I'm thinking Clemson colors.



I met my son and family at Cracker Barrel for a nice lunch on Saturday. On the way home I stopped at the quilt shop in Orangeburg SC. A Stitch In Time, Again. They had lots of 50% and 40% off fabric. I couldn't pass up a good deal.


The Black on Whites are for my Easy Street Quilt. I will post my progress tomorrow.

There might be some more sewing tonight OR not. I'm pretty tired so I might make an early night of it.

Purple strings and more

As promised, here are the purple strings. They measure at 7 1/2 inches square. Aren't they yummy?


The whole stack so far. The spool of thread is 4 inches high.


This morning I have ground flour, made bread and two batches of apple raisin cinnamon rolls. They are rising as I write this. YUM!

Now I can play in the quilt heaven! Yes.

Sunday Therapy

I started my Sunday morning with bread baking. YUM!!!!



I love to bake and you just can't beat anything made from scratch.

Last night I quilted another top, with feathers. A very feminine looking quilt enhanced with feathers. Some areas have "creative stitching" and that makes it unique. The long patchwork strips came from a scrap bag from Joyce. She is so good about keeping me in scraps. I really appreciate it!!!! I added the smaller strips and the border. I love this creativity in making beautiful quilts from your scraps.



This one has the binding stitched on.

A close up



Today I stitched the binding on this top and another.



Here is Blackie checking out the progress of my hexie project. I am really pushing to get it finished as I want to get back to my appliqué projects.

Hope each of you got quilt therapy this weekend.

Stitching and baking

I started my bread making early this morning and by golly I think I've figured it out. This is the best batch so far. It's even crunchy on top. YUM! One loaf is half gone. Does anyone know where I can get taller loaf pans?




On to the stitching... This is not the best picture. This the eye fooler top I did a few months ago. Time to get this baby finished.








I quilted up a QSC quilt for kids yesterday with a different free hand pattern I had never tried before. It came out very well.




And for the kitty lovers, here are my boys all snugly in bed on a rainy day.
