Tube Quilting??.

It is sooo nice here that I just sat outdoors and enjoyed it. I have to give a lesson at our next guild meeting and am looking for something simple. ( a teacher I am NOT) I found tube quilting and made a couple blocks and I think that will be it. Wish me luck. Also I am still hand quilting my quilt. I promised a picture but that will be later. Happy sewing.

Izzy's ( Bridget's) Garden

I came across this wall hanging while looking for my fall decorations. It is a HGTV BOM from several years ago.

Hope you all had a good Labor Day. We had a dreary rainy day but had a college age GS visiting so it was a good one. Today I hope to get some sewing done.

ABC quilt

Good morning, 50º degrees here and it feels like fall (my favorite time of the year). I was looking through my supply of quilts and wallhangings so I could change what I have on my quilt hangers. Thought I would show you a small quilt that I exchanged the squares on a HGTV swap a few years ago. We each picked a letter in the alphabet and exchanged squares. Haven't been getting alot done but am hand quilting. Will show that one in a few days. Have a safe Labor Day weekend.

Any suggestions??

Have my jewel box sewed together (not pressed) and need help. I was planning an applique border but I think it will be too busy so am trying to figure out something different. It measure 72 by 84 now and I would like it to be about 88 or 90 wide when its finished.

A dreary morning here- I think it will rain- had storms last night but we didn't have damage so were lucky -1.75 in. of rain. My garden is still producing so am sharing it.

Have a happy sewing day.

1 down-11 to go

This is 1 of 12 quilt blocks my DD gave me for my birthday. I think it will take until my next birthday to finish them but if the MN. Twins are playing good I can get lots finished : )

This morning I made zucchini bread to freeze and also froze some tomatoes. I thought I was about done with them but was watering them and left the water on all night so they are greening up again : )

I also have the rows sewed for my Jewel Box quilt and now have to sew them together.

Hope you are all getting lots finished.

Not lazy-just busy

Its almost a week since I've written. Had a very nice time at the lake but the weather turned cold so we played games-ladderball and cards and ate lots. Had a bunch of tomatoes to can when we got home and guess what? There are lots more here. My SIL gave us a box of nice pears from their tree but think we will eat most of those. I will freeze some tomatoes to use in soup and chili. I did manage a few stitches of handquilting on my quilt and at the senior center. I hope you all got lots sewing and quilting finished- I enjoy looking at blogs and will have to live until I am 200 to do all the things I save. Happy weekend. BB

I'm back!!

But really haven't been any place. Just busy with my garden. Lots of tomatoes- I canned and froze them AND gave them away. Also lots of cukes. My family loves refrigerator pickles so made some of those. Not much time for quilting but I did get a little handquilting done. Think I am having sewing machine withdrawal pains ; ) so hope to get in my sewing room next week. We are planning on spending the weekend relaxing at our son's house on the lake. Hope you all are getting lots done. Have a good weekend.
