August 7 2017

The last few days have been extremely busy. My Church held VBS and boy was it fun!!! Seeing all the kids and how much they had learned, it was awesome!! I can't wait for next years VBS!!

I did manage to finish a wall quilt. It is a gift to a lady that works with my husband.


Everything was hand sewn except for the "in His service" center patch and I embroidered it on my little Brother SE425!

I'm actually proud of this one!

Until later,

August 1 2017

Hey!

I rested most of the day yesterday as I was extremely tired from our trip back from Mom &Dads! I had a great time and look forward to going back soon. 

Both of my brothers are doing great from their heart Cathy. Both within a month and one day of each other....

Day I have been busy cleaning and of course my carpet cleaner decided it was done so it went toast on me. I dug II the old one and got the hallway. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't suck up the water. I have to wait until the carpet drys now in order to get the dirt and stuff up. Maybe one day I can get another shampoo/vacuum. 

More later maybe!

July 26 2017

I haven't done much today since I didn't rest well at all last night. I just can't seem to get motivated. 

My husband and I went to look at a treadle machine in hopes of buying it but it was junk. Parts missing, rusty and gears stripped. Not worth it but we will keep looking. 

I did clean and oil my featherweight. She is ready to go for a while again. I'm thinking I need to order a belt for her because the one on her is a little worn. I will look for one tomorrow probably. 

More tomorrow!!

July 24 2017

So another day has come and gone. I did manage to learn how to do FaceTime today and ft to see my Mom and Dad via my brother. That was sooooo cool! I'm starting to really like this iPhone thing! 

Tomorrow I plan on working on my "I am American" quilt. Once I get the final strips on it and the boarder, I will need to decide how and what design I want to hand quilt on it. 

I will keep y'all posted with ideas I may come up with over the next few days or so. 

Maybe some pics to come along as well!


Here is a block I just completed! Looks pretty good I think!

Enjoy life everyday because tomorrow is not promised!

June 11 3017

Just hanging out with the hubby today. We went to Church this morning, ate lunch with his family and then headed off to BassPro and Joe's Crab Shack for early supper. We also hit B&N as well but no find on what I was looking for so I guess it will be a Nook download!

I will slap up some pics soon I hope of what I've been seeing and such!!

April 6 2017

Hey everyone!

Been a little busy trying to figure out some colors for blocks.

I chose them, then I forget what block it's for. So now I actually label them....Duh....Should have thought of that sooner.

As of midnight, March 31, 2017, I am no longer a paramedic. The brain tumor and surgery took that away from me and no, I'm not happy about it and I have cried a lot. I can't fix it!

I want MY life back!!!

Ok...Off of that subject.....
I will continue to match colors for my blocks and I will post pics when I can.

Hope y'all have a good day, stay safe and God Bless you all!!

Until next time,
Bobbi

Man-o-man....It has been a while. I have had some ups and downs over the last few months but I still co time to push forward.
I have completed a couple of quilt tops over the last few months. One that I really like and the other I don't. I need to learn to READ all the instructions before I start another mystery quilt...Arrg!

Anyway, I will try to post some pictures of them soon.

Hope y'all have a great day and I will try to blog more sooner than I have been lately!

January 30, 2017

Yes, i have been on hiatus for a good while. Dealing with the Holidays and sinkness in the family took some time away but hopefully I'm back on a regular basis now.

So, what have i been working on...
I was able to finish my Christmas tree Wall Quilt.....i will post a picture of that one later.
I'm still piddling around with my Dear Jane blocks....that will be a never ending project! LOL
I have also been hand quilting the first quilt i made 15 or so years ago from scraps that my Mom gave me. I do this at night while watching the tube.
I have started a new quilt called the "Spool Quilt." It's fairly simple but yet intriguing as well to me. I have 4 color combs that i am using. There will be 10 blocks of each color combination.
These are ready to be sewn together. I will post a pick later of it once it is put together. The block will finish at 12 1/2" before sewing them all together. Once that is done, they will be finished at 12".
The quilt will be approximately 83" x 83" give or take.

Ok, back to the sewing machine!!

Remember, Life is SEW good!!!!
