What happens when…

The lid on the kibble container comes off while feeding the dog???

One HUGE mess

 

and a confused pup!

Maybe…

I could get some sewing done if there weren't so many wonderful blogs out there to read!

Round Robin Fabric Part 2

I went back to my LQS today to look at more fabric. I decided the Brown didn’t really go with the other fabrics…

Here is what I ended up with…11 lovely FQs

The lady at the quilt shop doesn’t like the pink plaid with the others, what do you think? I have no idea what I will do with all the left over fabric. I could use a few suggestions.

I also bought a 1/2 yard of fabric to go with the brown FQs

I couldn’t find anything else to go with them, so once again, I have no idea what I will do with 2 FQs and a 1/2 yard of blue and brown fabric!

Friday Night Sew In

I just signed up for the Friday Night Sew IN. I will be sitting at my sewing machine making some progress on the many project I have going right now. How about you??

Stop by Heidi’s block and sign up!

Round Robin Fabric…

I have joined a Round Robin. I have decided on my block (Wonky Star), and I have bought my fabrics (think I am going to go buy a few more so I can make several more blocks). Now I need to get the blocks made and write up my instructions :) This is going to be fun, but also hard to wait a WHOLE year to see the finished product!

Round Robin Sign Ups…

I joined a Quilt Block Round Robin. There are 10 of us so far, and we really need 2 more. If anyone is interested in joining you can follow the link to check it out.

Block 1 finished…

I have finished my 1st circle of geese block. I realized about half way into this that I didn’t count right, so the quilt will be a little smaller that I had planned. Because of that, I will have a few blocks left over. I will be framing this one and hanging it on my wall in my sewing room. There will be another one just like it and I will be making it into a mini quilt/wall hanging. This will be used as a give away for my 150th post. I just realized last night that I passed my 100th post without knowing.

Before sewing the 4 parts together and removing the paper…

 

After sewing the 4 parts together…Not squared yet :)

Now off to make some more blocks!

The 1st Day of 2010

This is how I spent the later part of my day…
stacking neat little piles of NEPTUNE for my newest quilting adventure. Each one of these stacks will make 2 blocks. This is the last of my NEPTUNE :( I am going to be so sad when I sew the last piece. I just love this fabric, but I will have another pretty quilt when it is over :)
 
This is only half the block.
 
I am using the tutorial form here…

and the template from here…

I can not believe how much I like to paper piece. Yesterday was the 1st time I tried it and now I am hooked! Thanks for helping me get out of my quilting shell Donna :) I think you have created a MONSTER! LOL
This one is going to be one that will take a while to finish. I am sure after a while it will go a little faster. I plan on making 16 blocks,add white sashing around the blocks and a coordinating binding to complete the quilt.

1st Photo of 2010!

Here is the 1st photo taken in 2010. It is of my Hubby and dog Kody watching drag racing videos online…

1 Year, 12 Quilts—January Block

Here is Donna’s block. This was my 1st time to paper piece…in fact it was my first time to so anything beside sewing squares or strips together! I am surprised that it even resembles what it is suppose to be. Although I am not really pleased with the block itself. I wasn’t sure how to do the seams and they are messy, and 1 of the points don’t match up. I thought about ripping it all out and try again, but was afraid that it wouldn’t go back together and I didn’t have enough fabric to start over from scratch.I sure hope she isn’t disappointed with it.

 

Time to Say Good-Bye…

To 2009. Seems like you arrived only yesterday and now it is time to say good-bye. You have been an interesting year full of many changes, but like all things, you too must come to an end. Tomorrow I will be greeting a new year, 2010, but until them I am going to enjoy one last day with you!

I hope everyone has a Safe and Happy New Year!

My Gift…

I wanted to share a picture of a gift I received from my Grandmother. It belonged to my Great-Great-Grandmother.
 
Everything still works. My Grandmother even has all the attachments and the original owners manual!

Neptune Scruffy…

Top is complete. I just LOVE doing these Scruffy Quilts. I decided to do this one with 2 stacked squares instead of three. Super fast and super easy! I have the binding and backing fabric ordered. As soon as it gets here, this little baby is going to be my 1st 2010 finish!!!

After looking at it, I noticed that 2 of the strips were switched. I don’t know how that happened unless my hubby and dog were playing and the dog messed it up and hubby tried to fix it…oh well.

This is my favorite block…I love the black on coral :)

I just love the NEPTUNE line…I think it will always be my favorite!
