As you can tell I messed up the previous (2) posts. Please over look my skills on blogging....LOL




New Project on the sewing table....



Do you see a quilt in these blocks...??? Yes it will be one soon. :) I have been sewing 2 1/2 inch blocks together for days....868 of them to be exact..... I have one more step to complete and then I can start sewing rows together...Yeah!!

Ok, enough for my blogging tonight... This computer is giving me fits!!! Going to get me some zzzzzzzzzzzz.
Happy quilting...

Quilting

I finally have the quilt top completed for the little boy that is sick. I have it quilted and the binding on it. A lable is pinned on the back. I will stitch it down tomorrow. I picked a bright blue for the back. Hubby and I will be taking the quilt to the little fellow soon. We have never met him so I am looking forward to our meeting. His father was very touched that I even wanted to make this quilt. It has taken me a little while to get this made with everything that life throws our way. But...it is ready to go.
This is the finished photo of the quilt I made for a young little guy that loves mickey mouse.  His family loved it and was very appreciative.

Spring is here!

The weather here has been nice.  We had 80 last week, then it turned back to more normal springtime temps.  The sun has been shining and it makes me feel so much better.  I have been spending time with my grandkids and playing out in the sandbox with them. 
I have pieced a mickey mouse quilt (lap size) for a little fellow that has been very sick.  I need to figure out something to do on the back and then quilt it. I am anxious to see if he likes it. It is very bright.
