I have gotten some really nice comments by some blog readers and have no way to thank them or answer them. So anyway thanks for stopping by and reading my blog.
I had a question about "what quilt group I was in?" I am in a group that meets in my county and we meet at the local co-operative extension office. We aren't a Guild. Just a simple group that gets together and sews all day once a month. Of course we have pot luck that day also. Lots of GREAT dished to try. We have some great cooks in our group. We make "fire quilts" for those that get burned out of their homes and we make small lap size-to crib size and give them out during our christmas parade to those that attend that have little ones or are in wheel chairs. The first year that I went to the christmas parade with the quilt group it was so cold we all like to have froze to death. Our toes and nose were froze. If only it would have snowed it would have been perfect. It was cold and it did seem like christmas. Everyone loves the quilts that we hand out. Lots of work goes into making them. We also have a quilt show at our local high school in july. It is called community days. There is always a big turnout.
Quilting is lots of fun, and ya get to meet lots of new people that normally one wouldn't meet. So, if you quilt and don't belong to a group or Guild, grab your fabric, needle and thread and go join one. I don't think you will be sorry at all.
Have a great 4th of July. And thanks to all the Soliders for serving our country.
count down to christmas

Better late than never....
I told ya that we had been working on my sewing room floor. The floor is down, now we must paint and put baseboard down. I am just happy as a lark that the floor is down. I am in no BIG hurry to get to the rest. I just love this flooring. It is pergo from Lowes. It had the padding on the back. I think that is the way to go. Hubby, myself and my mom put it all down. Looks Great!! We hardly had any waste. I have been waiting so long for this floor in our whole downstairs. I just wish it were done along time ago...Here is a pic
Check out the pic about the fireplace. Do I like snowmen or not??LOL I know,,, its June and I have snowmen pics up. Thats ok isn't it? It's my house. :)Sunday, June 12, 2011
Here's what I have been doing....
Friends at our quilt group gave me a gallon size ziplock and sandwhich size ziplock bags full of fabric scraps. Boy was I ever happy. I just love those tiny scraps! So I thought I would piddle around and do something with them. Here is what I have so far.. This is what I call a fun, no thinking sewing time....Sort of a stress reliever!
Not sure what they are going to turn into yet.... "Time will tell". I'm giving them some serious thought. Thursday, June 9, 2011
Summer is here!!!
Yip it sure is. The temps here in Ky. have sure been hot this week. It is 1pm. here and my computer says it is 94degrees. Way too hot for me...
Here is what I have been up to in the past month... I have made a few flower arrangements. I went to Hobby Lobby and found their flowers were 50% off.. Yeah! So I bought an assortment. Here is what 1 of the arrangements look like.A little bit of time is being spent on this...It is a pattern off of ravelry called "Kit's Christmas Cape" by Cathy Bird. It is for 18" dolls like American Girl or their look alikes. It is actually a beautiful purple. Not sure what it is going to show up here. I'm gonna put eyelash yarn in multi colors around the edge. I think it will be cute. Granddaughter is gonna love it.
Thought for the day...
Why do we park on
driveways, and drive on parkways....
