Trunk Show

Good morning, a chilly morning here- we had a few snowflakes already but it melted right away. Hope it keeps melting until after the holidays : ) This is a picture of our guild president and Catherine who is a certified Judy Niemeyer teacher showing us some of the beautiful quilts she made They are all paper pieced and all beautiful. I have done very little paper piecing and think its too late for me but I am determined to try it.
  Sorry I haven't been on my blog much but have been busy with yard and garden work all summer. My DH hasn't been well so I do what I can and so does he.. Happy sewing to everyone. Mary

Hello, sorry its been so long since I was on my blog but I couldn't get on. I tried every thing I could so tonight we set it up so my grandson could work on my computer and he fixed it. He lives in Omaha, NE I will try to post some pictures by Thursday. Have a good sewing day. Mary

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
