Off to see the quilter.........

Flimsy is complete and on its journey to be quilted...........

That border fabric is just right....  and to think I ordered it after the center was done.....  Thank you to Thousands of Bolts for such lovely fabrics at low prices........  I have been shopping with them for years and have always been pleased........  They even have a color match item that works great.............



This was our sunrise today.........  Fog and the sun coming through............ 

Now off to get ready for the Knit Witz this afternoon...........

Frustration........

I haven't received comments in a long time and when I comment on other sites it is returned as undelivered........
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Design Wall Monday

I finally found some time to be in the studio...........  Instead of organizing the stacks of "To Be Done" I just cleared the cutting table and dove right in........

Now the center of the top is done........  Yesterday I went to Thousands of Bolts and ordered the border fabric and the backing........  I am hoping that by the time it gets here I will have the borders done on Georgina's quilt........

This is the pattern I am using......  I got it as a kit years ago from Nancy Notions....  That was the kit I used for the red and white quilt I finished in June........

One day I plan to do the math and make another one but smaller............  So easy to cut and assemble......

Check out Patchwork Times for more show and tell....

Off the Needles

My waiting room socks are finally complete........  I have my Sock Sack that was a gift from Peg...  You can find the tutorial HERE........  It is easy to grab on the way out the door when we leave for the doctor's office..........  I already have another pair cast on and ready for the next visit.........

Check out what else is going on at Patchwork Times... HERE

Catching Up

I know it has been a long time but it has been difficult to get to the computer.....

We had guest and when that happens I spend time with them...........

After they left I grabbed a jigsaw puzzle to assemble........  You do need time to remember the fun you had together........ 

This sunflower volunteered under the bird feeder.........  We have had wind and rain from inclement weather but this flower has stood tall with its face into the wind.  The leaves might have billowed back but the flower remained steady............ 

Jean Mello  was one of my visitors.......  She made the plaid pumpkins........  The painted one was in the box from Lu.......  They are lovely on the desk......

Gave a box of fall flowers to Donna and this is what her magic did......  Simply stunning..........  The perfect addition to my foyer.

When Donna stopped by for a visit she brought this arrangement.  She is always sharing her talent....

This on a small side table......  Picked it up last year at Michael's for 90% off.

A perfect fit for the bathroom.......

A pumpkin or two under the tree.........  That has changed already..............

And then the mail............

I ordered the BOM from Keepsake Quilts......  This is January.....  Wouldn't it be lovely to have this finished by then?

Jean Mellow had one of these bags.......  Of course I wanted one too......  Ordered it from Kay Buckley.......

Lots of room for thread and other needed items........

Yarn arrived for the baby sweater I need to make.........

Best of all was the surprise package from my dear friend Lu......  I forgot to get the painted pumpkin to put in the picture......  The angel sits by the sink in the kitchen.......  The tea smells as good as it taste....  The candle has the delicate aroma of peach tea........  Napkins to use today when the girls come and some treats for the pallet.

Lem fell and broke his clavicle........  That was on Friday......  We did go to Emergency and they gave him pain medication and sent him home till he could see a doctor on Monday......  We spent all day yesterday doing that.......  Primary care physician in the morning for a referral.  Pick up ex-rays at hospital and have lunch before heading to the orthopedic doctor that afternoon.....

Today I hope to just rest...........  He is doing much better and maybe he can rest also.......
