Another binding finished

3 done- 2 to go. This is what I call my traveling quilt. The squares were brought by guild members. Whenever we travel we bring a 6 in square of fabric for each member. This one has 224 squares and I have a lot left for another quilt. It was quilted by CBQ. Won't get at the other 2 right away as I have some other things to catch up on.. I am making another scrappy quilt with 2 and 4 in. squares. Hope you all are getting lots done.

This is my table topper that CBQ quilted for me. DH is holding it for me and complaining ; ) I got the block patterns on Jacquelynne Steves website. She makes some beautiful blocks. .

Finished

This is one of the quilts CBQ quilted for me. Don't know why the picture looks fuzzy. It is from a strip block exchange I did on the internet.Hope you all are staying safe from the storms.

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,
