Sunroom Quilts

A bit of embroidery, a kitty, bubble quilt,

Here is Kit. She is trying to get my attention or is getting light treatment under my "day" lamp.  Passed out is what she was!   "underfed"  as you can tell. 

 

opps,  the design is still wet from me removing the topper however, this is four of four.  Loved how they came out and client was happy too.  The design is classic car from Embroidery Library.  I added the name with my Janome 350E.  Nine colors and 20 color changes.....on my little machine...but well worth it.

Sorry not too many posts of late.....doing my second job, well not really, I was assisting my friend with cleaning out a family member's home that needed to be moved to an assisted living facility.  This one was pay back to me since she has assisted me several times doing the same thing.  We were blessed.  

This one was finished a  weekend ago while we were at Obannon State Park in Southern Indiana.  

 

 

Fawns, ten minute table runner, and pink apple core baby quilt

Camping this week at Clifty Falls State Park.  These youngsters seem quite healthy.

This one was almost a ten minute table runner.  It must have been 20 though.  Found the fabric at L & L Yard Goods in Madison, IN this week on the camping group quilt shop visits.  I also found some beautiful batik at Marge's also in Madison.  I was blessed to have a gift certificate to use on that fabric.  I will post pictures of that project in the future.  It is a bluemoon pattern that I want to do, I bought the fabric for the sashing on this trip.  

Pink Apple Core Baby Quilt.  Used the layer cake sized apple core template from Missouri Star Quilt Company.  So much fun.  I like the faux scalloped edge using this template.

May God Bless!

Thank you Susan for your purchase.

 

 

baby quilt, fmca convention, bissell sweeper

We are in Madison, WI at the FMCA International Rally. Called by a Family A'fair name this year. We have been attending seminars on everything associated with RVing. Those topics can be anything done within an RV or under the hood. I tend to go for the cooking, crafts, computer, and shopping aspects of the rally. We were up and in seminars by 8 this morning. My last one finished about four this afternoon.

I found time to visit the vendor area between classes and I came home with a Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo battery powered stick vac. We have it plugged in and charging. I am really looking forward to doing the cat liter with this little thing. The demonstrations showed how easy it picks up pieces of nuts that were a little larger than the liter. But it picked it up out of a berber style rug...so my hard floors should be a snap for it. I am also hoping it works well on the treads in the sewing room.

There were some microfiber booths that attracted my purchasing side too. More cleaning items....I think I see a pattern here.

I managed to get in some crafting today as well. I was able to pick up some craft kits between my other classes. Not nearly as good as getting to take the class but better than missing out on making fabric ornaments and a cardinal wirly-gig. I see craft classes at future local rallies.

(I cannot get photos to upload tonight to typepad. I will attempt later.

Jerry fixed a nice supper after we finished all the rally activities we were going to do today. After eating we sat outside. I did the binding on a baby quilt I had pieced and quilted before we left home. Now it is back to the computer for a bit. I thought it was interesting that a gentleman who stopped to chat noticed I worked without using a thimble. Before the night was out I did have to get a thimble out. After doing two other bindings this week my finger just needed a little protection by the time I was about half way through the binding.

Well, all for now.

Take care. May God Bless!

Sunday in Charleston, SC

 
 
This is a garden for a Charleston home.  Picture taken through the iron gate.  The books say that is okay.  There are beautiful gardens nearly with each home you walk by in the downtown district.  The gardens are in the side and back yards and the front doors are nearly on the cobblestone or brick streets.  Some "front" doors are actually the opening to the garden or the porch and the actual entry door is located off the porch.  Nice concept. 

 
Another side yard garden.

 
Colorful homes along the water, just off The Battery.

 
A Sunday stroll.  They said we were the first ones to take their pictures.....with a tone that sounded much like one of Keith or Jerry's comments.  :)

I found a quilt shop advertised.  I don't think I will be able to get there before we leave town.  I have some pictures that I would love to see if I can use them to inspire a quilt. There are images floating around in the brain but I don't know if the fingers can produce them.  Maybe some year!

More pictures and commentary on the blog 

Good Night.  May God Bless!
