Bye Bye June!!!

So, what have you guys done so far this summer???

Gotta check out those new giant marshmellows!!

Now I have been quite busy actually and some of it actually involves sewing.

I have turned into a Bonny Hunter wannabe I do believe.

Embarrassingly, Lola and I took a class with her about two years ago.

Well, not embarrassing for Lola because she is finished with hers, but it is for me.

Joy is on her second one--a Christmas one that I would love to get busy on as well.

But for now my Pineapple Blossoms are pretty much all in one piece.

Now, I just have to finish trimming up this pile of bits that will become the first border:

And just to make sure that I am not bored. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

I have started her Story-time Stars for my nephew.

Christmas can take its time getting here please.

And more little bits that I have to get put together.

I don't think I quite have 180 four-patches done yet, but I am getting there.

There are more things in the background there that need finishing and a quilt that needs starting for my God-daughter, but for now I need to do laundry and probably water the garden and and and...

Everyone stay cool, cause baby it's HOT out there.

Finishes and Furry Ones

Since I am always complaining about having to rewash the bowl on my mixer before each use cause dust crawls in--I decided I would get to the mixer cover pattern that I have had for quite awhile. Course I will probably wash it out anyway, but it looks pretty.

It is a shame to tuck it under the cabinet now, but I still do not have room.

I am busy working on a few other things, but the first priority right now is getting the school year over. Hopefully we will be getting all of our end of the year testing done next week and the creativity can begin.

HOPEFULLY!!!!!

For now, here are some common scenes from the sewing room.

Sadly I can not join them in their napping--too much to do.

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Just in time to show off the green I finished my table topper!

Yippee--I have to say I danced a little jig because I have a finish for OPAM and it is not midnight on March 31st.

So happy that I am aiming for a second finish.

The weather has been so nice lately (except when it is almost too hot) that we have been outside wandering and checking out everything that is blooming that should not be and both of my guys ended up finding these:

I didn't find one, but I have them. If I were any luckier I might start oozing green or something.

Going to go eat some Lucky Charms and see if I can sew some more.

Hope you all have a weekend full of rainbows and pots of gold.

Happiness!!!!

The rare perfect point!!!!! Yippee!!!

Thanks Mom!!! My very own cat.

Course poor Squeaks was happy until everyone started staring at her.

Hope everyone is having a happy Thursday.

Hopefully I can finish something later and have a happy Friday too!!

Another Top in Need of Quilting

Finally got the last border on Nirvana

It is one of the Block Central BOMs that Joy and I started a bunch of moons ago.

One of these days I am really going to have to break down and quilt some of these.

For now, I have a few dozen more to finish!

A Finish and Robo-Kitty!

I made it a day early even with the shortened month.

A little late for Valentine's Day but maybe I am just early for next year??

Really bad lighting--need to get my Ott light out of the box.

Think that goes with the organizing.

So now I need to figure out what to work on next.

Dresden plates, more strings, or one of the gazillion patterns I just bought.

Guess I will go figure that out as long as CeCe doesn't shoot me with her eye lasers.

Maybe I should clean the litter box first???

Talk to you later I hope.

Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival--Part 1

This is what I left the house with Friday morning.

and here are some of the things that I came home with:

Love Lynette Anderson

and of course no shopping spree would be complete without

bringing home a pile of purple.

and this is my motivation

Sadly it is a wee bit blurry, but I would love to do one like this with these colors.

Do these two look tired????

It was a good day!!!

More photos soon.

For now I must get back to sewing for Christmas Club.
