Colin's Tshirt quilt finished!

It's packed up and ready to go to Seattle. I like the color when outside, just need a higher place to hang it.
Of course Mama Kitty was wondering what was going on...
Hmmmm....wonder what is going on back here?
Guess who......by the time I took it down they were both sitting on the swing under it. I should've taken a picture of that too.

Sewing something-- not a quilt...

I'm not sure I should claim this or not, but after searching all over for a new cushion for my swing I ended up recovering it. It's not my best sewing job, but it will do, I guess, for outside, if you don't look too closely. It is kind of an orange & red small stripe. I might put some buttons on it or something. Looks better than the old, worn-out one. Ya have to wonder why you can't buy new ones, though.
Since I was outside with the camera I thought I would take a couple pix of flowers. This is my cigar plant...interesting flowers on it.
The catnip (on the left) has been nibbled on, though they prefer it when I cut it off for them. They aren't spoiled, but the scent is stronger after it is cut. Well, maybe they are spoiled.
I love the sweet scent of petunias...these are right outside the back door, so smell them everytime I go outside.

Sunday is the cat's day to rest.....

One inside.....
One outside.....she likes the shade on the steps....(I do have flowers out there, but you can't see them, they are on the other side of the steps.)

Oh wait, they rest every day....lol...at least around here.

I am quilting a quilt for a friend's friend today. It is small and going pretty quickly. I like those. I have a few more to do to be caught up, including 2 for my mom and one for my sister (who, by the way, is chomping at the bit for hers). I still need to get the binding on that other quilt so it can be off to it's new owner too.

Yesterday's UFO day and Friday's here!

We had a great UFO day yesterday. We had 4 quilt top finishes, a pillow finished (her second sewing project!), a stack n whack problem conquered & some great chit chat.

She is just as sweet as she looks....and very proud of her second pillow.
Besides this finish (some baby will love this), she also worked on layering and pinning a very large quilt top. She is ready to quilt it.
Yea!!!!! A sampler quilt top finished. Don'cha love her garden?
She has had problems with this one, has brought it to UFO day before, but finished it yesterday!
Her color choices really make this Sampler pop! I have been trying to talk her out of that border fabric for months...it is gorgeous!

Busy quilting week....

I quilted most of the day yesterday, after an emergency run to buy batting. I am working on a customer quilt. She wanted something simple so it is going pretty quickly. I want to finish it this morning, then have a UFO class this afternoon and a Sampler class this evening. Saturday I have a Stack n Whack class, then I have no more day classes until.....well until I schedule some! I need a little time to get caught up, regroup and make new stuff. I will still have my night Sampler classes in July and August.

Hopefully I will have pix tomorrow of a finished quilted top!

Tuesday already?

Had a great time at my family reunion Sunday. Saw some folks I hadn't seen in a long time. Then my daughters came over for Father's Day that evening.

Monday I went Quilt shopping with friends to Country Traditions in Fremont NE. It is a very nice store and I had such good luck. I have been wanting to get some of the Paper Dolls fabric since I saw it in a magazine and they had some. I also knew that my sister wanted some too, so got on the phone and called her. My cousin who was staying with her for the reunion wanted some too.....so I got some for all of us! lol Isn't it cute? I have many great memories of playing paper dolls with my sisters.
Mama Kitty is wondering...what, no kitties?
I also got these yesterday too. They were on sale! You wouldn't want me to pass up a good sale, now would you? OK...no more shopping til I get some more quilts finished!
I have been working on a baby quilt for another great niece...this one isn't born yet, so I am still on schedule. I quilted my SIL's quilt this morning too. Now to get it bound. *big sigh*

T-shirt quilt

I have been working on this t-shirt quilt for my SIL this week. I got the t-shirts when I was out there last summer....yes, I am slow...so wanted to get it finished for his birthday next week. If you are reading this Angie, don't tell, I want him to be surprised when it comes. He has probably forgotten that I took them, it has been so long! He loves music so we decided to use some music prints and picked out a beautiful fabric with gold instruments on it for the border. I am off to sew these blocks together now and maybe get it finished today so I can quilt it.
