Woof Woof!

Finished my Suzy Sack for our trip to Vegas! 

Red quilt block #4

Another block ready for my mom's quilt, 26 more to go.  I plan to have this done for Christmas.  If I can get a block done every day or every other day I should finish in plenty of time.  As long as I don't get too distracted with other projects!

Block #3

Not finished, still need to put another red border around it.  I trimmed the triangles a little of so some of my points were lost.  Not too bad though.  Need to get dressed & head to the car show though, so maybe will finish later tonight.

Barn # 3

I think this one will be mine, or could go to work as a donation for the silent auction that will be coming up later this year.  ;)

Still need to add the sashing/backing/binding, but just too tired to do more today. 

I have 2 (maybe 3) tshirt quilts to make yet.  Got 3 boxes of Harley shirts from my brother.  Have the ones for the first quilt trimmed & ready for the fusible interfacing.  Won't have enough of that or batting to do the entire 1st quilt, so will need to hit the quilt shop soon!  :D

Watermelon Mini

Found the cutest quilt hanger on Ebay, it has a watermelon above the hanging bar.  Since my hometown has Watermelon days thought I should make a quilt!  Got my center block done, waiting for the hanger to arrive to known how big to make it.

Barn #2

Built another barn today, might keep this one for myself, or give it to my aunt to thank her for giving me her treadle sewing machine.  Its a fun & fairly quick mini wall quilt to make.  Maybe one day will make a full size quilt with this block.  ;)

Watermelon Quilt

Started some blocks for my next project, a watermelon quilt.  Our will probably be another mini quilt.  Not sure how it will end up looking as I'm not using a pattern, but I kind of have an idea of what I want to do.  ;)

Golf Theme Suzy Sacks

I love getting Christmas gifts completed early!  These two are for my dad & brother to put on their golf bags.  Plan to make 2-3 more of these with different fabric for some ladies.  :)

Look what I just got!

My parents drove down to drop of some stuff, including a treadle sewing machine from my aunt!

More Shop Hopping

Yesterday spent some time spending money!  Got some great fabric & new patterns!  Started working on some "Suzy's Sacks" that will be Christmas gifts.  Check out the sweet mustang saw between shops!

Shop Hopping!

Took a half day of vacation from work & hit the road!  Only stopped at 3 shops, but had fun & got some goodies!  My list of quilts patterns to make doubled today I think!  ;)

110 Flying Geese

Chain stitching past few days with a few breaks to cut & press.  I should be able to hit the half way mark today!

I can't count!

Just realized that I only need 288 flying geese, MUCH better then the 488 I thought I needed!  So only 268 to go!  :D

20 done, 468 to go!

Baby steps!  Just got to keep reminding myself that any progress is good & it doesn't matter how long it takes me to finish this one!  ;)

I need HOW many flying geese?!?

I have a feeling the next quilt I've started working on will be an on again/off again project.  488 flying geese!  Yikes!  Pattern is Dizzy Geese & once completed should be super cute though!

Hexi Who?

Got some progress on the hexagon owl I've been working on.  Can only do a few at a time, seems to pinch a nerve in my hand after a while.  :(

Piecemakers Done

Just finished putting the binding on!  Would love to take it outside to take some pictures, but it is so windy out I doubt I could get a decent shot.
