5 months behind

Finally finished the first block that should have been done by Feb. 1. Oh well maybe I'll catch up. I used CBQ's idea of using vintage sheet scraps. Thanks CBQ- ( I love visiting blogs. )

Beautiful day here but we have been getting lots of rain, wind and some hail but we feel fortunate because so many families are losing their homes because of flooding and fires.

Sorry my picture is fuzzy- guess I need to change batteries.

Flowering tree

Don't know what this tree is but it covered with flowers that kinda look like seet pea flowers. It blooms a couple times during the summer. If you click on it a larger window will open

Peonies

The wind was bad today and messed up my peonies so I took a picture before they are gone. They were really pretty earlier. We have sooo many mosquitos in the yard. Guess we will have to spray.

Hope you all had a good day.

Slow but sure +2 more

Finished 2 more blocks- am not moving very fast but doing other things. Yesterday I made 2 gallons of rhubarb slush- with vodka. Also been working in my garden. My peonies are opening so when they get a little further I will take a picture to show. With all the storms around it is scary. We have been very lucky. I like to be outside when its nice. I am going to put a quilt on the frame in the basement so when it gets really hot I can quilt. This morning I went to a bridal shower and this afternoon we had quilt guild. lots of show and tell.

Sylvia's Bridal Sampler

Have a few more blocks finished- was going to sew yesterday but couldn't read the sizes of squares to cut ; )

I had my cataract surgery on Wed. and things aren't very clear yet. Ran into some problems so will take longer to heal. I am having sewing with drawal since I haven't touched my machine in over a week. Also had a graduation- my last GD graduated from high school.

Have been looking at the quilts in the Blogger's Quilt Festival- there are some beauties there. I have gotten lots of ideas. Happy sewing and hope you are including the tornado victims in your prayers. BB

Blogger Quilt Festival

I would like to enter my Jewel Box Quilt in the Bloggers Quilt Festival. I love this quilt. It is made of all 30's fabric. I exchanged several blocks in a swap to get a better variety of fabric. It was quilted by my daughter.

Finished Table Topper

This yo-yo table topper was another project CBQ and I did while she was visiting. She made hers into a runner and I did the topper. I was never a fan of yo-yos but the plastic yo-yo maker sure helps. These didn't take long to do. I have a friend who is doing a quilt. Now I have to get busy and make some blocks for Sylvia's Bridal sampler.
