Good morning, nice morning here and we had rain overnight. Now I won't have to water my garden. Got home Friday from a quilting retreat. We had so much fun and got lots done so we are scheduling another one for next year. 
  Lots of excitement since I have been home. The spring broke on the the garage and the door fell down- what a bummer. This morning we looked out the window and a tree was on fire. Don't know if it was wiring or lightning but the electric company is trimming trees now. CBQ and DH have been here but we aren't getting much sewing finished. Lots of running around but fun. Have several quilts to bind but won't start on those until they leave. CBQ quilted them for me. More later, Mary

Happy Day!

I finally got on my blog again- Have been busy with yard and garden and have this quilt ready to put on the frame and hand quilt it. It will be the last big quilt I will do by hand, CBQ does such a nice job with her machine. I am going to sew the binding on the table topper and will finish at our retreat - I hope.. Hope to be back soon. Have a good sewing day. Mary

Flowers

 Guess it is time for me to write a note. I sure broke my New Years resolution but sometimes life gets in the way. Haven't been doing a lot of sewing- making a block a month for the Quilt Guild and I made something for the challenge at our quilt show  in June. We had our guild meeting yesterday and had a really interesting guest and she had a trunk show. Her name is JoAnn Hoffman and she designs round quilts among other things. I have seen her work and patterns in Keepsake quilting. Hope you all are getting lots finished. The picture is a bouquet of flowers I rec'd for Mothers Day.

A project in our guild last month was to sew something with pink. I made two blocks-will use them in some kids quilts. I am using only scraps and trying to get rid of some. It is amazing to see the quality of fabric between the old and the new, Hope you are all having a good day. We are getting light snow that melts almost as soon as it hits the ground,

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.
