Hot day, inside work only!

It is so unbelievably hot outside. My goodness, the weather man keeps telling us the humidity will stop soon, but as of yet I haven't noticed it.
It certainly is a good day to stay inside with the air conditioner.

The camera connection with the computer is fixed. And here is what you have been missing.
This is a wall hanging I made as a birthday gift for my boss' wife. It really isn't her birthday till December, but I always get ahead of myself. And besides, I get to enjoy it for a couple of months till I give it to her.


This is the 2nd turning twenty quilt I made with some fat quarters from my stash. It is an addictive quilt to make. It does livin up the sewing room.

And this afternoon I managed to finish up the t-shirt squares. Now I am ready for the sashing and borders to be added. But all I have to do is wait till the gal I am making it for deceides on her material. So I get a break from it for awile.
So what new thing am I starting???? I started the Hobo quilt. I have four squares done, and just putsing around with some more cutting. Not a big hurry, cause I have no idea where it will be going yet.

Where's the picture???????

No pictures?????? No way to add pictures! At least for the time being till I figure some other way of transferring my pictures to my blog.

But I did want to let you all know that I am back to myself again. Yup. I spent the whole day today working on projects. I finished the binding on the homespun quilt and got the label on it. I did a small wall hanging I plan on packing away for a christmas gift. Such a cute quilt, need to find a nice hanger to go with it when it is given away.

My daughter is so busy telling all of her friends about her mother's quilts, that now I got tricked into makeing a t-shirt quilt for one of her friends. A scary project indeed since I have never made one of these before. I was lucky to find a t-shirt quilt pattern onine free. (thank you google)
I got all the t-shirts cut out and ready to get the interfacing ironed on so the blocks will be easy to sew together. Need to confirm with her friend as to what kind of material/pattern she wants for the borders.

Wish I could post a picture. Hopefully by the time the quilt is done I can get a picture loaded on this site.

Where have I been???????

Where have I been??? I would love to be able to say that I was just lying around the beach and basking in the sunset.



Nope not so much. Just been so busy. Between my job and my house and the dogs, I have little time lately for myself. The weather is so nice now so I tend to spend alot of time outside. The dogs love to go for walks and seem to be waiting form me when I get home from the office. I started giving plasma twice a week also and that is a squeeze in of my time. and there still is the babysitting do for my children.
I did have a vacation, really! A short one for the fourth of July up by my sister in Michigan. A wonderful relaxing weekend just visiting, and touring around and fishing. So relaxing!

You know, I had all the time in the world for my quilting and now I have become very lazy. I have finished the quilts that I wanted done for christmas gifts this year and right now I just need to finish the hand binding work on this last one and they will be all complete. I want to start the sweatshirt jacket I am making for my grandbabies for christmas gifts. Don't want to leave anything to the last minute.

So I need to kick myself in the butt and get a move on. My goodness, I ended up buying more material and patterns on my trip to Michigan. So now I have more on my to do list. I better get going. Just have to learn to say no to some of these things that make me waver. LOL
