ROW QUILT - IN PROGRESS

I'm having a lot of fun with this row quilt - So glad Sharon got us started on this.  I changed blocks for a couple of rows and I'm about to run out of background fabric - that's when I'll really have to get creative to figure out how to finish this using whatever fabric I have on hand (hopefully).  My resolution to use us some of my stash has been working pretty good so far this year.  So far I think my favorite row has been the houses.  The six rows in the pic have not been sewn together yet.   And the houses don't even have the sashing and end pieces.   I'll add these to the 4 completed rows later on.  I substituted chicken hens for the mittens and hearts for the leaves.  

I've finished the quilting on my miniature whole cloth "cross" quilt that I'm making for my daughter.  Now I'm in the process of doing the trapunto work using the needle and yarn technique.  I sure hope it looks good when it's finished.   I'll try to take a photo then - rather hard for me to photograph white on white!

This time next week our spring retreat will be history.  And I'm already planning for fall!  

I'm stuck!

Do you ever get stuck and not know hat you want to work on.  Well that's where I am..stuck.

I try not to have too many projects going at once (my brain cant handle that much..lol) and I usually do not start a new quilt until I have a person in mind to give it to.  I am attempting to make a quilt for my family this year. I have a couple that just need the borders completed but I'm having trouble deciding who is next and what quilt pattern to make for them.   And this makes it hard to get busy on the ones I have to finish.

Maybe I will get an idea and something will inspire me.

Happy Mother's Day, ladies.  Have a blessed day.

Here are Greg M., Allison and lil Ava

We enjoyed going to hear Allison and Greg sing. Ava was such the entertainer. She danced for everyone and when people applauded for Alli and Greg, Ava would bow.. So cute.

It was good to get to meet Allison's boyfriend Jason's parents. Dorothy is a quilter too but we didn't get to visit about quilting as we were in a restaurant/bar to hear the kids sing.

We also got to see our boy Danny and his buddies.

And we got to see our girl Michele. She took our picture..

It has been a lazy day for me. I have had a headache and a sore neck all day. I did manage to cook lunch do laundry and scrub my bathroom. Had to get the hairspray off the floor... The drawback to using "got to be glued" spray.

Hopefully I can get some sewing done tomorrow.

Have a blessed day.

Not a lot of sewing happening here

Last night we made a three hour drive south to watch our daughter-in-love, Casey, graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education.... We had 17 in the crowd to help her and our son, Andrew, celebrate. My hubby thankfully did all the driving and let me snooze on the way home.

We have a busy day ahead of us as well. Our daughter, Allison and her singing mate Greg, have a gig tonight and that too is a three hour drive north east this time. But we will get to see our other kids, Michele and Danny too. And of course Allison's boyfriend, Jason and possibly lil Ava.

Hopefully tomorrow I will have a little time to get my sewing room in order and get started on a few new projects. I've still got a lot of tops to get made and ready for Christmas gifts. I also have to get all my stuff gathered and cut and ready for QUILT RETREAT....only 13 more days...

Goodness I'm so far behind. It has been months since I've been in the sewing room to sew.

I will be glad when my father-in-love is healthy and back going. He is finally home from the hospital but he has a very long way to go. He can at least get to the bathroom with a walker now.

Just a tip.......do not fight with trees. They win...lol

Have a great day. God bless.

Back to Square One: Step 4

I am posting this again so that I can see if I can link it. Angela gave me some pointers and I will attempt it.
