Waiting

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

********More snow and cold { I hope not } or warmth and spring on its way? **********

This is another set of blocks that's been waiting in the wings to be finished.

By "waiting in the wings" I mean folded in a bag in a box.

Yes, my head is downcast in shame.

Unfortunately I had one jelly roll { a win } and am now finding that it's not going to be big enough so I'll incorporate some other fabrics for sashing, I think.

For now it may just end up back in the box.

While I'm on the topic of "waiting" and Lord knows we all do enough of it.

 Take a moment, maybe while you're "waiting" and please send your prayers and positive energy to the folks in Australia that are now bracing for another disaster.

 If you've been checking your blogs you're seeing the monstorous storm heading their way. It's just terrifying to see the images.

For those of you in the eastern Canada and our neighbors to the south stay safe in the midst of yet another winter storm. This one looks to be real nasty.

The weather seems to be going crazy along with the goings on in the world.

I think Mother Nature is really pissed.

Fin....finally

 

It's finally come full circle, and it's only taken me a year and a half to get it there!

This is my binding all stitched together and waiting to be pressed.

May I digress here a moment...

Way back when, before I started my own blog, I needed a helping hand for free motion quilting.

I started to hunt around on the internet and eventually googled fmq,

low and behold but who should pop up but non other than...

Amandajean

This gal's tutorials absolutely rock and this is where I found out how to bind quilts the painless way!

I highly recommend a visit, you'll be going back for more time and again.

 

So here it is! My first finished quilt of 2011!   

Complete with label.

Do you label your quilts?

Last but not least,

here is a stack of dog coats for "Bullet's Buddies" ready to go.

I may just list a couple either on my blog {if I can figure out a payment method}.

I think the one on top is so funky and it's quilted too!

Hope you have a fabulous day...

It's a comin' slow but sure.



This is the second panel of my undecided project. I can't wait to start the quilting on it. The house is quiet, Bullet {our rottweiler} is finally able to sleep and when I've finished this post I'm trekking down to my sewing machines to hide for the rest of the day!

What's your favourite part of the projects you're working on?

Have a great day!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas, YAY!!!



I love Christmas. Love, love,love the holiday! I would be very happy living at the North Pole year round.  Snow? Bring it!! Cold? No problem  { I live on the Saskatchewan prairies, nuff said! }
Isolation? Some days it actually is welcome! I'd have no problem with any of these minor set backs as long as I have my sewing machines!

This is the start of either a wall hanging or a quilt. Haven't decided and it will depend on how much time I'll have to spend on it.  We are expecting two youngsters at the end of school today. They will be staying with us for a little while so their parents can sort themselves out. 


Have a wonderful day!!

Balls, Bears and Quilts

I made this bear a while ago, a first attempt that turned out preety darn cute { I think }. Anyways,
the ball he has is a little something for our Grandson along with this ~

a Rag Quilt but made out of fleece for those chilly cruises in his stroller around Calgary. It is so cozy and warm with two layers and I added some Thomas the Tank Engine cotton from my stash ~

I picked up this flannel for a song on Ebay, just shy of 5 yards for $4.00 s&h included!! I managed to sew up some jammies for my boys, top & bottoms for my little man and bottoms for my big guy!! 

Another Rag Quilt but this one is flannel with a batt filling. I'll be putting it in my shop.

Last but not least is this wip, my Quilt of Valor {please excuse the pic}. This will be ready to go shortly, it just needs a backing and to be quilted. I'll post a better pic when it's all finished.

Have a great day!!

Keena's quilt

Stay tuned ;o)!!

...and this...

Just have to toss this one in the washer/dryer and it's off to my shop. Yes indeed. I've managed to defy modern technology and set up my Etsy shop { click the button on my sidebar for a peek}.

lost & found

My little guy is back at school and things are starting to fall into a routine, of course that will all change on the 22nd when my youngest is off to kindergarten. I'm going to feel a little lost in silence.

I did manage to have found my mojo {yaaay} and finish a quilt that has been sitting for a few months.

A friend brought some blueberries over the other day so...

another one

This little red beauty is 36"x36" and all ready for baby due to arrive in October.

Flowers & Frogs

This quilt is for a friend's first grand-daughter, Tianna Katherine Irene born July 4th,2009.
The yellow is alot brighter than it's showing...Mom is not a "pink kinda gal"
