My round robin : (

Good morning quilters.For the last few months I have been doing a round robin in my quilt club. The ones I worked on were so pretty and I am so disappointed in mine. My DH says its ugly. It probably won't show up very well but I  put a basket with birds and heart flowers in the middle. I bought 3- 1/2 yds of batik to match. These are 2 of the some of the ones I worked on and the bottom one is mine.

.. One row was supposed to have flying geese- one stars and another applique.

Sampler

These blocks are from a sampler class I am taking at our local quilt shop. The pieced blocks are all half square triangles. Sure glad I have triangulations. Another windy day in South Dakota and we are praying for rain. Today I am piecing some of my larger scraps for a quilt back. Am trying to downsize but it Ain't easy. Have a good day. Mary

Quilt top

Good afternoon- another beautiful day  here. Lots of sunshine and no wind and about 72º. I haven't been able to post on my blog for along time. CBQ helped me figure it out so now I think I am back in business. I put together my traveling block quilt. and will see if I can post pictures again.  In our guild we have a suggestion that if you travel you should bring each member a 6 in. block from wherever you visited I have been doing this for a long time and so I put a quilt top together. I think I have enough squares to do another quilt. I am also working on a Round Robin with guild members, It will be finished in another month and  then I can show you. I am happy to be able to blog again and look forward to catching up with everyone. Mary

Arrrgh!!!

Somehow my new computer and my blogger account are not getting along!  I'm at my wits end here.
Hopefully I will figure this out soon~

In the mean time here is a photo of my Sew Sweet Simplicity BOM from Jacquelynne Steves.


Hope you are having a good spring. It is 72º here this morning.

Hello

I realize it has been a l o n g time I have been on my blog, No good excuse but it has been such a busy summer- my garden produced and produced, My jars are full and we donated lots to the food pantry, DH had 2 surgeries so couldn't do any mowing or yard work so guess who is doing it.. I have been having withdrawal problems from not having time to sew.
 Also my computer crashed and I had to get a new one. My printer wouldn't work on Windows 8 so got a new one. Then my new computer was corrupted and had to get that repaired. My camera program doesn't work with 8  so have to figure that out yet. so I can post pictures. Hope you all had a good summer and will have a happy fall. Mary

  Good morning- been a long time since I have been here- had a busy June. We had our local quilt show which was a huge success and I took lots of pictures but my computer crashed and I have lost lots of things. I bought a new one- its windows 8 and I am slowly figuring  out how to use it.
  Also we had company for 2 weeks ( CBQ) and did lots of things which I can't post because of my crash.
  DH had an angiogram and found one of his by passes is completely blocked but it has rerouted so guess he will be ok
  We have been getting good rains and luckily no serious storms so the yard and garden are growing- and so are the weeds..
  Will try to get some photos on soon. Happy sewing. Mary.
