this and that

I've been working on these blocks to make some tote bags. I cut out these foundation blocks to use for my heartstring blocks. I'm still working on the last borders of the qfah...now I'm just procrastinating.

I got some new sneakers and Miss Cally can't resist a new box.

I'm off to dig through my stash and find those pigs, ufos and whatever else is lurking....more pictures later.

Look what the mailman brought to me

The book is awesome....the patterns are wonderful. It's even nicer than I imagined it would be. I can't decide which quilt I want to make first....such a dilemma.

Paying it forward

Since I haven't gotten any takers on the pay it forward, I decided that I would pay it forward to 3 ladies that have inspired me. Judy for her oh so generous nature. Not only in the quilt patterns that she provides for us but she is always willing to answer any kind of quilty questions you might have. Jeanne is always making scrappy quilts to give away to her favorite charities. She shines in her own humble way. I love her projects and her decorating themes. I've been reading and enjoying her blog for quite some time. And last but not least is Mary who started the Heartstrings project. I am always amazed at how much she accomplishes. I'm going to make each of these ladies something with this fabric collection that I've been hoarding for some time. Maybe a bit of lime green thrown in for Judy........

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You inspire me to be a better person.

Look what I won

I am the very proud recipient of one of Darlene's pincushions. I just love it....it's so cute. Isn't blogging just the best!

more borders

I thought I was all done with my quilt for an hour until I saw Dot's and the extra borders really do make the quilt especially that scrappy one. Sooooo....I'm gonna frog the outer border and continue on per Judy's instructions. What was I thinking....that I could improve her design. No....I think not. I was just being lazy.....that'll teach me.

Quilt for an Hour

I finished Judy's july quilt challenge. I stopped at three borders.
My challenge for august is to finish up the other ones that I started. I have 4 of them.

All the blocks are done on this one. I need to sew all the rows together and make the borders.

Gratitudes only has the inner blocks done. The first ones needs two halves sewn together and the borders. The fishys are for the back. My leaves needs their borders. Can't decide between the top two or the bottom ones.

hourglass quilt

I started this quilt a few years ago. I made all the blocks and sewed them into rows. It then got put away for another project. So while mulling over my hour a day challenge quilt, I pulled this one out....sewed the rows and the borders. It's now ready for quilting....I was thinking either baptist fans or swirls. While I think about it I'm going to finish the hour quilt.
