LIFE ALERT!

IT SNOWED AGAIN TODAY; YOU KNOW THAT PESKY OLD MAN WINTER ISN'T GOING AWAY ANY TIME SOON.  YOU COULD ONLY SEE 1/2 A MILE DOWN THE RODE. I WAS GOING TO GO OUT AND TAKE THE GARBAGE CANS BACK UP TO THE HOUSE . GARBAGE DAY YOU KNOW.  WELL MY HUBBY SAYS I FOUND THE ONLY PATCH OF BLACK ICE ON OUR VERY LONG DRIVEWAY AND MANAGED TO FALL NOT ONLY ONCE BUT TWICE.  I WASN'T HURT BUT COULD NOT GET UP FOR THE ICE. HAD TO CRAWL OVER TO SIDE OF DRIVEWAY BOTH TIMES SO THAT I COULD GET A GRIP.  MY THOUGHTS WENT TO LIFE ALERT IMMEDIATELY!  MR. SEW WHAT SLEEPS DURING THE DAY AND NEIGHBORS ARE PRETTY FAR AWAY TO HEAR OR SEE ANYTHING. BUT I SURVIVED.

I FINISHED BLOCK #3 AND HAVE BLOCK #4 COLORED IN TO BEGIN STITCHING ON.



BLOCK#3






BLOCK#4

MY DAY IS NEVER COMPLETE UNTIL NEEDLE AND THREAD AND FABRIC MEET.  I AM GOING TO GO SOAK IN A TUB, I AM BEGINNING TO ACHE.  ALL FOR TONIGHT MARTHA

Onward!

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
