A Thrill is a Thrill…

that is how I felt when I saw this on Cheri`s blog. I loved the name of her design Apple Brown Betty, mine is more a crumble. I scooped some scraps in my scrap bags and made this Apple Crumble. I have to quilt it and I have the binding all picked out. This was so much fun for me to make! and in no time at all. Thanks Cheri for the wonderful Design

I have my 2 blocks made with the BOW with Temecula Quilt Co just loving the basket theme ready before Easter!

And I have my next block for Love Letters by Black Bird Designs ready to applique  when I go to retreat next week…yes a thrill is really a thrill

It`s a countdown for our quilt show hope you can make it check out the sideline on dates and times and please copy the flyer to add to your own blog if you are in the surrounding area of Whitby Ontario Canada

Add a love, add a little happiness….la, la, la

These wee homes are going to another part of the states the pattern is from the designer on the sidebar you can see the little house there, everyone is making scrappy homes, I also thought it would be great on tea towels

Molly gave me a scare but she is getting better a really bad urinary infection, as you can see she is no worse for wear

Then I could not resist this book by Black bird designs I think this maybe my next project, a pattern in there called Pressed Flowers and a needle keeper that just has to be made. How appropriate!

We 3 Quilters was only 2 but we shared in some cake. I could not resist this look how feminine it is so spring like! We did meet up on Saturday with our 3rd and had a wonderful lunch. We have 12 weeks left with RM and then she moves up north only 6hrs drive away from us….

I am still working on my special project and it is coming along really cute this is a portion. It is with my scraps

And also getting my next Love letters block ready to applique…not to much happening in my part of the world..LOL
I noticed that spring is cropping up in some parts of blogland this week we are hitting the teens, I would love to start gardening clean up but know it will be too early.
Still getting ready for our big quilt show at the end of the month so hope you can make it!!
Have an applique day

my TeaTowel

I was in a swap and this is the gorgeously wonderful teatowel I had received. I am terribly late with mine I will post when she gets it. I was to have it out at the beginning of Feb but have only finished now and sent it. Too many issues to talk about right now...but my swappee understands as long as you communicate with your partner.

Mamu is this ladies screen name on the group I belong to, we had meet online from another group and I just love my Teatowel but not only did she send me a teatowel she sent me a wonderful apron to match are they not adorable!!
I also got another wonderful gift that i will post the next time. I didn`t have a picture of it yet...How do you take a picture of something and make it look as beautiful as it is. I am not a very good stager, new word for me from a dear friend that just went through staging her house to sell, it sold already and she has bought a new one. I am still getting over the shock will let you know next time, I am not happy for me but happy for her (kinda, well sorta, well alright as long as she is happy)

what`s up

 

for one thing Molly`s tail it is never down it is a pare scope that you cannot miss and look her bloomers are filling in finally on a calming med and it is helping

I also started my next block  for Love Letters and

as you can see there has to be a kitty on top to let me know she is here. Nosey giving me her best pose to entice me to pet her.

also started a new mini, I had made one of these long ago but love this pattern so much I had to make it again. only I made these wonderful mini prairie points around the edge, they are 1 1/2in squares folded for the points.

The anvil blocks are 3in.

I will post all of it once it is all quilted I am just going to start basting and hand quilt it with the Baptist fan.

this is the current block I am working on for my Love Letters, this I have done more since this post, I am about 3/4 done.

I know I am sporadic on my posts but I was down for a couple of weeks with sever back pain, I know that allot of people have suffered with this but man do you ever feel disabled. I am so lucky I have my man here to help me! I feel for those that only have themselves.  I am catching up on some swaps that I could not work on due to not being able to cut. but was able to applique in my chair.

I was  lucky my applique had been prepped. I would applique a little and fall asleep in my chair, wake up and applique a little more and then fall asleep again. It was very therapeutic, I wish my honey had taken a picture cause I had Nosey on one side and the applique on the other, she would not leave me all the time I was sick, now she is glad to be back in her tree sleeping angelically

Mom and Daughter entangled, how do you like Molly`s pink belly? it is getting better. Really.

Bear is out of the Cave

Baskets of Posies May June 2011 mag

Mom Happy at work with piecing all our applique together

Audition, cut, sew

I had no idea what I was going to do to start my Just 2 quilt. Well Sew Sisters is having 25% off her fabric that includes her massive shelves of 6.99 fabric and also her 3.99 fabric. So I went and in doing so found my fabric for the boarders and that decided my on my 2 color quilt. I love those huge flowers and was so happy that now I can start 

Sale gave incentive.

 I was tired when I got home from work same old story all week kind just coming and going to work and nothing else...after the holidays, knocked me a little I think.
Well I said that is it I am starting this Just2 quilt so I cut the fabrics.
Well it was only 700pm I`m not going to bed yet. So I started piecing I got all my pieced blocks done, and applique is ready to put apply.
Now I am going to bed.
The title of the quilt should say just takes 2 hours to get these done...so these are my 2 colors for my quilt...what are yours??
