Missing

Yes I have gone  missing in Blogland!  I went to visit my kids and grandkids for the holidays.  They try very hard to entertain us  while we are there. Even though it is nice to just sit and talk with them. They are very interesting adults,  even though they might not think so.

 My son and husband took off one day and went to a sushi restaurant.  Apparently my son has discovered an interest in it and has visited several times. My husband likes fish but has never tried sushi. He loved it ! He said I would be in trouble if there was a restaurant around here. I said that I would not be, but that he would be doing his eating out alone.

 They also visited an Oddities Resale shop. The kid that sells skeletons of  two headed animals and weird  medical oddities.  My hubby had a great time!

 This is a pic of some of my family opening presents.

We had a white elephant gift exchange between the adults and had some fun with that and decided to do it again this year!

 On the way home we stopped at a cracker barrel to use a gift card a friend gave us.  We really enjoyed it good food and shopping,made for a nice break in the trip! We had never been to one before. Another new experience.

 On the sewing front Pam Buda has her new sew-a-long on her blog heartspunquilts.blogspot.com Every Friday for six weeks I believe.

 And just to show you that I have not been totally without a sewing project a pic of my hexagon quilt half way there!

Well all for now, almost have laundry caught up and mail read, grocery shopping finished. UUUGH! Chi chat later,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.
