I have a few more blocks to share with you for my Gypsy Wife quilt. Let's start with the filler blocks . I have four pinwheel blocks that are 6 1/2" square.... And then there are two 4 1/2" square pinwheel blocks... There are two 8 1/2" old maids puzzle blocks.... And two 8 1/2" sixteen patch blocks.... I have been enjoying my adventure in the sewing room, what are you up to?

I don't think I am rushing the blocks for Gypsy Wife , they just seem to be flowing out. I have a few more finished and I am loving it!   This is called "Star Block".  It is 9 1/2 " square This is called "Indian Hatchet". It is only 6  1/2 " square. These are puss in the corner blocks, one has a border,the other not. One is 5 1/2" and one is 7 1/2" square. This block is called "Crazy Anne" and is 10 1/2" square.  So there is a lot of variety and color! I am truly enjoying it,chatter later ladies, Martha!

My Gypsy Wife seams to be moving along, as I have blocks #2 , #3 , #4 finished and ready to show you! #4 #3 #2 I also have a new pic with hubby's help of my Wooly Critter Sampler.... I still have to bind it. I am using the light blue from the inner border to bind it. When that is finished I will try to take a pic without shadows. chit chat more later, Martha.

I have a short preview of some things to come.... I have been making placemats with roosters on them. My first block of "Gypsy Wife" by Jen Kingwell , Country Threads is also doing a sew a long on this. This is my Wooly Critters quilt by Brandywine Designs back from the quilters. I still have to bind it. I did not have anyone around to help hold up the quilt for me to take a pic, so after it is bound I will take another pic for you. Chatter more later, Minnesota shop hop starts next week, might get a little busy!

I promised you a better pic of my runner once it was quilted and here it is.... I have some binding to do on some mug rugs to do tonight.... I  have already finished four others a bit smaller.... Finishing up some ufo's while the sewing room is clean.  I am linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching  .Chatter with you later,Martha.

So much has been happenng this week!  I bought a desk for my sewing machine and took down my counter top it was on.  I rearranged my sewing room, which took a whole day.  Here are a few pics... Thought I would throw a couple of pics of one of the two parades we saw for the fourth also.... We had our Simple Whatnots meeting and had some great show and tell. Linda Arganbright brought her sampler quilt made with Cherrywood fabric.... Linda Johnson brought a log cabin cardinal wall hanging... And a Minnesota shop hop table runner. Mary Theurer brought her version of True Blue for us! Gail Temple brought a number of things for us to see and share. First was her cardinal wall hanging... Judy and Lorna brought in their small quilts also! Judy also brought this small quilt  as a treat for us ! I also had time tomake a small table runner and now am in the process of quilting it.... Hopefully I can get a better pic o
