UFO, scrap quilt and I spy

I finally have pictures on here. I still don’t know what the problem was but I have pics so that’s all that matters. Here is the rag quilt, finished at last!!

I like the fringe on both sides.

This is the scrap quilt that DD is working on. She did this much on Sunday night.

Monday she got all the small 6″ blocks done. Now it’s time to sew those into the 12″ blocks.

Yesterday, we went shopping. Then we started doing some baking, so no sewing was done yesterday.  Maybe we can get some done today.

Since today is Christmas eve, I thought I’d share a quilt I made several years ago. It’s an I spy quilt made from Christmas fabrics.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!

UFO finished, scrap quilt started

I finished the rag quilt that I was working on. I got all the edges clipped, washed and dryed it, so it’s officially finished!! I love the warmth from rag quilts.

My DD is home for a week, so she’s helping me use some of my scraps. Yeah! My goal for next year is to use as much fabric as possible to get it cleared out of here! She’s making a scrap quilt from Bonnie Hunters site. I can’t get any pictures to upload today for some reason so I can’t show how much progress she’s made today. We planned on baking cookies today, but she’s having too much fun sewing.

Sometime, I hope to show some pictures. I guess there must be a problem with WordPress, becuase I couldn’t get any pictures to upload on either computer. That is so frustrating. Oh well, have a good day!

snow day!! yippee!!

Ok, so I don’t like snow. In fact, I hate snow!  But when it snows and they call school off, then I’m all for it!!  It gives me more time to spend downstairs working……where it’s WARM! Yesterday, when I got home, the windows on my bus, had ice on the inside!! No wonder I was cold. It took all evening to warm up.

On to better things. I’ve finished quilting a hungary catapiller quilt today and have the second one loaded. Hopefully I can finish it today. I also finished sewing rows together on a flannel rag quilt that I started making a couple of years ago.  As soon as I get it clipped and washed, I can mark it off my UFO list!!!!! picture-4902

The rag quilts that I’ve made before, one side just has seams on it but this time I decided to overlap the squares, so I’ll get the ragged look on both sides.  Hopefully after it’s clipped and washed it will look good.  The bad thing is that I’ll have to clip all the seams on both sides! UGH! picture-4903

I bought a pair of  scissors a while back for this quilt. They work great so far. I like the way they open back up on their own.  picture-4904 I have a lot of clipping to do!!

Well, I guess that’s it for now.  Have a great day.

New apron

picture-4901I won this apron last night at my guild meeting. Yeah! I needed something to help lift my spirits after the last couple of days.

It’s made from a  dishtowel.  We played a game where we all started out with a clothespin attached to our shirt and we couldn’t say the word “Quilt”.  If we did then the first person to call you on it would get to take your clothespin and the one at the end of the night with the most clothespins won. My sister was sitting beside me during the meeting and she said “quilt” so I reached over and took her clothespin, she’s like…..”what are you doing?” Then my friend across the table says “You said “quilt”.  Ah ha! I got hers too! Wow, I then had 3 clothespins, I was having fun at this!!  I was the second one to show a quilt top for show and tell and I was determined that I would NOT say the word quilt while I was up there. Guess what? I said QUILT!  Well, I was then on a mission! By the time show and tell was over I had collected 11 clothespins and won the game.  You know how hard it is not to say the word “quilt”  at a quilt meeting during show and tell when you’re showing and telling about your quilt? Nearly IMPOSSIBLE!! LOL!!!!

Have a great day.
