Have a good week end,

Quilt Show

Our community has a quilt show every year. It suports the childrens home in our area. Without further adue, here are some pictures of some lovelies.

Isn't this Farmers wife a beauty!!!

And this Churn Dash. I was drulling!!!

This Dresdon Plate is a vintage quilt up for auction. WOW!!!

And this one was really amazing. Lets look at the back of it.

Yep, there is barn doors on the back of the quilt. And, inside names each block that is on the front of the quilt. And, there's a row of blocks from top to bottom. My pictures aren't the best. But, you get the idea. Right!

I really enjoyed walking around looking ar these Lovelies.  I can't wait for next year!

Grandma's Flower Garden

                                    

 My Grandmother made this quilt top.

                                       

And this is the label I made for it.

I felt very honored to have been asked to hand quilt this for my aunt.

I must admit there were days when I wondered what I had gotten myself into.

But I pressed on. And I'm glad I did.

This beauty will live on in our family as a reminder of a great talent the she has past on. And, I was blessed to be a part of it.

LOVE, HUGS, and Prayers,

I BELIEVE.... I have it fixed

I was so frustrated. This silly Gloogle+ had me as a no reply blogger. Very Sad!!

I finally found a sight that helped.

Apperantly Google+ IS a no reply blog. Not fun.

I sure hope it's fixed now.
Thank You to all that have emailed me with advice. And, sights to go to.


LOVE, HUGS, and PRAYERS,

Country Charmer Update:

No sewing on my Country Charmer this month


 

 due to these little baskets.

But do go over to http://lesleythecuddlequilter.blogspot.com/ to follow the monthly progress.


http://sewnwildoaks.blogspot.com/  is the designer of the Lovely quilt and shows us great tricks and tips on assembling the blocks. And, a lot of eye candy.

There is also pictures of blocks made over here. http://www.flickr.com/groups/2163397@N21/

There are a lot of people around blogland making this quilt. And, I now need to clean my computer screen from all the drooling. And, get to making my own!

LOVE, HUGS, and PRAYERS,

Learning something new!

I'm still working on basket blocks. I cut and organize some pieces.

Then start sewing them together. This is where I have learned something new.

Did you know this is called a Toads Toe? Yep, a Toads Toe. I see it. Funny name.
Well, any way, I now have 50 blocks made.

I am shooting for 120. Then to place them on my design wall. I am wanting a full or queen size quilt.

I'm also working on my hand quilting.

Half way there. I am falling in love with this quilt. I can see my grandma wasn't a perfect quilter. And, it is reminding me to not be so hard on myself. It's not about the Perfection. It's the journey!

LOVE, HUGS, and PRAYERS,

I Have been Sewing.

I have been working on this

It's slow going. But, there is progress.

My fingers started hurting. So, I dug through some scraps and came up with these.

They are little cuties! 4" blocks. Some day they will be a quilt. I HOPE!!!


LOVE, HUGS, and PRAYERS,
