Easy Street Mystery

  Finished with Step 2 of Easy Street, Bonnie Hunter's new mystery. So far I am up to date. Hoping to stay that way, sine the final put together will probably not happen until I come back from Australia/New Zealand late in January.

Lily Jane Stipe has arrived

Just a short note to say Lily Jane Stipe arrived on October 21, 2012.  She weighed 8 lbs 9 ozs and her older brother Jake Robert Stipe loves her, of course this is only the first day after she got home.  Pictures to follow.

Fat Quarter Shop Mystery

Got my 4th block in the mystery BOM done. This is record time as I only received it Friday. Using my iPad for this post as I am waiting on my Verizon wireless modem to get here.  We kicked Comcast to the curb. They should have gotten here faster that 5days to fix my Internet. 

  

Just a short post, since I have been away awhile and the post I just did seemed to dissapear before posting.  Here is a quilt I made for Tater Tot the new grandbaby coming in October.  Her brother Jake has named her and even though it's not her real name, it has become a permanant nickname.  The quilt was made like one that Karen brought to the Indiana retreat last year.  Just chenille and flannel. 

Also, made a few burb cloths from cloth diapers and a bib.  A girl has to dress up for dinner.

Also, been working on a few other things, but those will have to wait.  Will post a picture of the Hooterville quilt later, too.

June's Quilt Square Quilt Along Block

Quilt Square Quilt Along's block for June.  Lots of little pieces. 

Trying out a new app.

Trying out a new app for my iPad. A photo from the iPad of my workspace at retreat. Lots of monkey business going on. 

 

Civil War Anniversary

Purchased this book from Rosemary Youngs, joined her yahoo group and have made the first two blocks.  I ordered the CD, to make it easier, just print and sew.  Well, easier after I remember how to use the CD.  Anyway if you would like to make the quilts and be motivated, buy the book, join the group and get busy.  Here are my first two blocks. I found the Civil War fabric at The Stitcher's Garden in Franklin, TN on my roadtrip to Indy for my retreat.  Sorry, they don't have a website, but it is a crazy store if you are in the area, go visit.

Also, got a charity top made.  This one is going to to an orphanage, you can read about it on Rosemary Youngs site, also.  I am trying to use up a lot of fabric and spread some cheer around.  Going to make duplicate quilts, but send them to different places.

Gave up on weeding flower beds and decided sewing was more fun.
