Quilt of Valor

  This is a Quilt of Valor that was presented to my DH on Veteran's Day by the Sioux Falls Quilt Guild. He is a Korean war Vet and was really excited.

Roses- Oct. 20

My miniature roses are still blooming in Oct. Unusual in South Dakota

 Haven't been doing much sewing- am having eye problems. I think I am having withdrawal symptoms.  : )

snowflakes

Too early but we had a few flakes. Sure glad they melted right away.

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. .
