Sampler quilt

Good morning, not a good picture but wanted to show .
you I put my sampler together. I made the gingerbread  boy blocks but decided I didn't want them in the quilt so will use them in another project. I won't get it quilted for a while. CBQ is my favorite quilter and she will visit this summer and take it home.
  We are having warm windy weather and our snow is almost gone. Hope we don't get more. : )
  Well, back to the sewing room. I am making quilt tops for charity this week.

Table Topper

Good afternoon, Just got home from my Guild meeting. We had a farewell for one of our members that is moving to Alaska. Also planning for our Quilt Show which will be in June. Have been working on my sampler trying to get it ready to quilt. Did get a table topper made for a friend. Several quilters had their quilt at the meeting- completed They were very pretty. Guess I am really getting slow. Weather is in the 40's today with wind so our snow is slowly disappearing. Hope you are all having a good sewing day. Mary

More gifts

This picture is a tablet case- big enough to carry my charger and a camera case with a pocket that holds extra batteries and the cord. Now I won't have to look for batteries and chargers when I need them. Thanks CBQ
  Warmed up in SD today- temp is 30º now and the snow is melting.

More blocks



Sampler blocks
These are the last 4 blocks for my sampler quilt. It has gingerbread boys and a gingerbread house but I am saving them for  another project. I may have to make a couple more blocks but that will be easy.. It was fun taking this class with other quilters.. We have had snow and very cold weather and are enjoying a few warm days before it turns cold by the weekend, It showed 39º in my vehicle when I was out and about  this afternoon.. The weather has been so changeable this winter. Hope you are all having good days and getting lots of sewing finished. Mary

Good morning, I have been lazy about writing on my blog but 1 of my New Years resolutions is to try to post twice a month. Haven't been doing a lot of sewing but am  working on my sampler blocks and will have some pictures to post later in the week-have also started a scrappy quilt and have been cutting my scraps. I should have been cutting them after each project but it was so easy just to throw them in my scrap basket. I am trying to do a lot of down-sizing. After 60 years of quilting I have lots of scraps
  Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and will have a happy and healthy new year.

New blocks

We are in the 10th. month of our sampler class. These are the 3 blocks for November. Now I would like you to see what our weather is doing. We had 9 inches of snow  a couple weeks ago and since have been having a heat wave, This is what my back yard looks like today.
