Progress report

It is Tuesday, July 27th at 4:30 MST and I have two quilts quilted!

Only three more to go plus bindings for them all.

do you consider machine quilting a chore or pleasure??

Some of you might think I am crazy and have my work cut out for me.  I want to get these quilts finished by the end of the week. (binding not included) You see D#2, the youngest, is heading to camp tonight for a week.  She is my energetic, has to be doing something, kind of  kid.  With her gone and the teens working or doing their own thing, I hope to get these finished!!  Three are old UFO's, one is a charity quilt from the guild and the newer pinwheel.  I still have to pin two, but ran out of pins.   Wish me luck! 

quilts at the ready

birthday goodies from my friend, she spoils me rotten
My quilting buddy and friend gave me these goodies for my birthday. She is coming over on Tuesday and we are going to sew all day...our mini retreat.

Aren't these flowers amazing?  They are so tall too and look great on my counter for all to enjoy!

Still looking for a few more followers before I have my giveaway. 

Happy Birthday to me!!

Yep today is the day I get a year older!!

You can fight it or give in to it. I figure everyone else is getting older so no use fighting it.

Plans for the day include going to a LQS and having lunch with the family.

Maybe we will even go to the lake in the afternoon. For sure we are going out for dinner.

Friday it is lunch with the ladies.

Have a good one!

Hexies are blooming

I have joined Karen of Journey of a Quilter and her One Flower Wednesdays.  Each week or when ever you have some finishes, you post about the hexies your have made.  I have just started and I am really enjoying the process.  They are great to sit and do in the evening after a full day of life!

There is a special day coming up for me this week.  I would like to have a giveaway for the special occassion. 

 Hint:

You will have to be a follower to get in on the giveaway!!!
