I have just been busy with life and trying to win a GO from other bloggers. It has been fun looking around at all the other blogs. So much that I lose track of time and then don't have time to post on my own blog.<br />I haven't posted any flowers in awhile but I have been working on them. Here are a few that I have finished. I took the pictures quickly so they are not the best. I have them on my design wall and the lighting wasn't that good. Now I am off to go look at everyone's flowers.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-J9i-5hHPI7WRm2ZI37Dv8Vw9dfNTNxHi9J2UT5iy9kL1BkKn_WQgwCQ05TmZImhNwUfqEGRkyI3eqqPUoSZGKQwmvljksFTtRYqxoUg21bbLfPDQgFIQ8a-PRmhebhalgO19330z9s/s1600/IMG_1332.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516942223921132866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-J9i-5hHPI7WRm2ZI37Dv8Vw9dfNTNxHi9J2UT5iy9kL1BkKn_WQgwCQ05TmZImhNwUfqEGRkyI3eqqPUoSZGKQwmvljksFTtRYqxoUg21bbLfPDQgFIQ8a-PRmhebhalgO19330z9s/s320/IMG_1332.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrAKXUjg2WD9lRvYGBdIUVMNZ0thcTH9Cyq5lyj7Lb39-5sEukR1U54BM4jO6vc_6IJQdPjQD8qfIlc5tN_uG9Sv3T26wyhkzlIhqoozf6hiKWJluFQ5DAu6NsuARjoJsm5CJkb-kOco/s1600/IMG_1331.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516942217613792418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrAKXUjg2WD9lRvYGBdIUVMNZ0thcTH9Cyq5lyj7Lb39-5sEukR1U54BM4jO6vc_6IJQdPjQD8qfIlc5tN_uG9Sv3T26wyhkzlIhqoozf6hiKWJluFQ5DAu6NsuARjoJsm5CJkb-kOco/s320/IMG_1331.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85749/thim3/be330b9f74e1ecf05c23b6d333fa08d4.png" /></a>Thim3http://www.blogger.com/profile/12088761441744841170noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215630280690639864.post-40328698422720872572010-09-12T14:04:00.000-07:002010-09-12T15:28:00.725-07:00Learning Freemotion Machine QuiltingI enjoyed having five days off from work. We had some very nice days compared to the days leading up to my days off with all the rain. We needed it though.<br />I have been trying my hand at freemotion machine quilting. Last month I took a class at my favorite quilt shop <a href="http://www.tomorrowsquilts.com/">Tomorrow's Quilts</a>. I had a lot of fun and learned some good ideas for freemotion quilting. I did seem to have some trouble getting my stitches to look good. I tried using different thread and needles. I think I may have it right now. Here are just two of the many sandwich squares that I have been practicing on.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKnQQ9TxNO9Sa8gIFE_QC4MqVtJ0-Jsv49VulgWrYvGdOwvct_Xpq9gsvNdQscHnHSUeD40kcS7UPYJHZtJrCnGwz1Fpaj4okkxDUTq4MFsQZ_5FHhW-GjdmBVY4Uew7oSSEl7erXUA5w/s1600/IMG_1307.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516141306877817746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKnQQ9TxNO9Sa8gIFE_QC4MqVtJ0-Jsv49VulgWrYvGdOwvct_Xpq9gsvNdQscHnHSUeD40kcS7UPYJHZtJrCnGwz1Fpaj4okkxDUTq4MFsQZ_5FHhW-GjdmBVY4Uew7oSSEl7erXUA5w/s320/IMG_1307.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKk8gc6uHQVscNRw8wXTHQ_OLG30To5og8nCQjvxiBmdVXWxVjCNhdQXffzb4b4XiM8k4w7EpAtB5ke-YiRpQL5pwEy7KR8o1Q2_Qj7qzDpqrvQmO9_pDhlqaVa3iVVVLLFndBuC6Us0s/s1600/IMG_1308.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516141309315506066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKk8gc6uHQVscNRw8wXTHQ_OLG30To5og8nCQjvxiBmdVXWxVjCNhdQXffzb4b4XiM8k4w7EpAtB5ke-YiRpQL5pwEy7KR8o1Q2_Qj7qzDpqrvQmO9_pDhlqaVa3iVVVLLFndBuC6Us0s/s320/IMG_1308.JPG" /></a><br />I made a small wallhanging for the class out of five inch squares that I had in my scrap box. The only thing I had time to do in the class to the wallhanging was to get it pinned.....I don't like that pinning part but I know it has to be done. After all those practice squares I finally felt a little confidence to work on the wallhanging. I did some stippling on it. Here are a few squares of it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik9CnQ5q0lkmlf1eqDyeBD2Uag9T_95cMbZJaNMHkZ0XBDhYE2JzBewF7Pkk6V-g5vvI2fAq4nzCzIxHK1Nfio-hUmIYxIJUlBu7QaSCAxpnFjQvb98VBJGPBds-LrbQ1PU-RMPLNz_6Q/s1600/IMG_1315.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516144527691627826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik9CnQ5q0lkmlf1eqDyeBD2Uag9T_95cMbZJaNMHkZ0XBDhYE2JzBewF7Pkk6V-g5vvI2fAq4nzCzIxHK1Nfio-hUmIYxIJUlBu7QaSCAxpnFjQvb98VBJGPBds-LrbQ1PU-RMPLNz_6Q/s320/IMG_1315.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimSuTMJKULa_D_241ooFirUMU8DRFZjoOhlwUX0zoBkSvZPMSFRvOvp-lmXgbVn9IBkXo_GbO335rLWpo2_fnFgKy5aozOqWmbAVX-CQsmqhVvuM2s9hKcPxpA1EPRGqRgKsZ858YGyVk/s1600/IMG_1314.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516144516785192450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimSuTMJKULa_D_241ooFirUMU8DRFZjoOhlwUX0zoBkSvZPMSFRvOvp-lmXgbVn9IBkXo_GbO335rLWpo2_fnFgKy5aozOqWmbAVX-CQsmqhVvuM2s9hKcPxpA1EPRGqRgKsZ858YGyVk/s320/IMG_1314.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgry9c05CvdbeyyWLJYWpfmYkqWgTnAErJoUS-OssKT70Ged74jNws3_uxAqQ58LhkwJt7aPkDjc84RgLnrC-Fn16s1R_j0jvLCeZD2LU7evggMpgRwkFdYXn4tj4lcJX9Y74IG20ZB6cs/s1600/IMG_1313.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516144515073591922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgry9c05CvdbeyyWLJYWpfmYkqWgTnAErJoUS-OssKT70Ged74jNws3_uxAqQ58LhkwJt7aPkDjc84RgLnrC-Fn16s1R_j0jvLCeZD2LU7evggMpgRwkFdYXn4tj4lcJX9Y74IG20ZB6cs/s320/IMG_1313.JPG" /></a><br />I also did some machine quilting on a table runner that I had done a few months ago called Taco Salad from <a href="http://www.atkinsondesigns.com/">Atkinson Designs</a> book called "Let's Do Lunch".

I know...I could buy these already cut but I have started doing them this way and I want to finish them like this. I haven't had time to post for my One Flower Wednesdays but I have several of them done since my last post. I will try to get them posted this Wednesday.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhymjnNNvw0FuK3vf2Vdzc8c22g9gK8_SDUyqDnKml5mWju-MTm796PYjb7zPdGK7u6WnbV5uZh2tjFOT7XpsXe_Ez30eBw5dIAGFCyBbWgGI9fb5Pa6WYOwxlsUbfwCowNEE31WD3yxJo/s1600/IMG_1316.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516155510043443058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhymjnNNvw0FuK3vf2Vdzc8c22g9gK8_SDUyqDnKml5mWju-MTm796PYjb7zPdGK7u6WnbV5uZh2tjFOT7XpsXe_Ez30eBw5dIAGFCyBbWgGI9fb5Pa6WYOwxlsUbfwCowNEE31WD3yxJo/s320/IMG_1316.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85749/thim3/be330b9f74e1ecf05c23b6d333fa08d4.png" /></a>Thim3http://www.blogger.com/profile/12088761441744841170noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215630280690639864.post-42935802102486174692010-07-21T12:56:00.000-07:002010-07-21T13:24:08.864-07:00One Flower WednesdayWell I didn't get to post any new flowers last week....busy busy. First I would like to say thank you to everyone that posted a comment on my last post. That was the most comments I have had since I started blogging. I enjoyed seeing everyones new flowers....this One Flower Wednesday is fun. I may not get to post every Wednesday but I will do my best to get a few done each month. I didn't know how much the hexies were going to be addicting. I have been digging through all my leftover scraps to find more colors for more flowers. When I go to the quilt shop now I am even looking for fabric to be used in some flowers....I tell you again it is very addicting and relaxing.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSM7KUgbA0nOyMrMW76GFwwL2Awunoj9Jj5S1YzxZOu1SqnAamsXfTsU89ei__CHeiX5grIxSvmsDy1LGcbDp0sUbac1uQHE5jqqKuVHOe6eMBwl_tjDBF-419dc5Zp5fOjPNY0bSB2s/s1600/IMG_1268.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496454710882913266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSM7KUgbA0nOyMrMW76GFwwL2Awunoj9Jj5S1YzxZOu1SqnAamsXfTsU89ei__CHeiX5grIxSvmsDy1LGcbDp0sUbac1uQHE5jqqKuVHOe6eMBwl_tjDBF-419dc5Zp5fOjPNY0bSB2s/s320/IMG_1268.JPG" /></a> I like the pink colors but I have a abundance of them in my stash because I had made a pink quilt for my youngest daughter.

I like to sometimes have things to work on while I watch tv...which I do to much of anyway. I have sewed my yo yos a few times....but I get tired of them and you can have so many yo yos. I went to my favorite quilt shop the other day and they were putting a quilt up on the quilting machine that had been hand sewn....it was a Wedding Ring quilt. The lady that made it had hand sewn it.....she always does such great work be it either by machine or hand. I have always said I wouldn't do a quilt by hand because I know it would take me the rest of my life to finish it...(OK Gail if you are reading this I know what you are thinking...It will take the rest of my life to machine sew all the quilts I have going now...lol)..... Ok so anyway I have joined the One Flower Wednesday over at Journey of a Quilter.<a href="http://journeyofaquilter.blogspot.com/"></a> <a href="http://journeyofaquilter.blogspot.com/">http://journeyofaquilter.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />My goal will be to make one flower every Wednesday.

Life has just kept me busy. Plus I like to look around at all the many other quilting blogs so much that I forget about mine. Summer is here so I am going to be busy with grand kids and just trying to get outside more. I will try to save a little bit of time for sewing. I am going to my favorite quilt shop this next week for a machine quilting class. I hope I will like it.....I have tried one time to do some machine quilting on my bernina machine but I just couldn't get it......so I am hoping this class with help me. I have alot of table runners and toppers that I would like to get quilted.<br /><br />I saw a pattern in one of my many quilt magazine for a quilt that was done in black and white colors. I have never thought I would like just a black and white quilt......but....now that is all I can seem to think about it.<br />Here are a few blocks that I have done....oh and I am going to put a little bit of other color in it like red or maybe some green...haven't decided on that yet.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr_HeO143siUN1lD3IsX7uGDymXxRzkiUEZ2eO0vAlr3Oz4C30D6ZWPLBvpEEo1nZP0mkBn6EBrsQBsKa6rAt5t8YGTeksVAxPB2yIlNUu91Fypv8PspXP0l16HqH0zQPNMz7JDqut5tI/s1600/IMG_1175.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483005663961533698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr_HeO143siUN1lD3IsX7uGDymXxRzkiUEZ2eO0vAlr3Oz4C30D6ZWPLBvpEEo1nZP0mkBn6EBrsQBsKa6rAt5t8YGTeksVAxPB2yIlNUu91Fypv8PspXP0l16HqH0zQPNMz7JDqut5tI/s320/IMG_1175.JPG" /></a><br /><div>With the left over 2 1/2 inch squares I made some nine patches.......ideas for another black and white quilt.</div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdRp68m7mcLlVzOfYnsxieLAjhkv4EvKi2ehFWaex-TKKZwmi7jOMXcMGf-YlpTChvs-so8QHfqT77AMfsAm67f7L5TGxViPGKI47FAu-i6z03rNgC2elPmByOORwMLTDxcSzwadX3HTA/s1600/IMG_1177.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483005671323280866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdRp68m7mcLlVzOfYnsxieLAjhkv4EvKi2ehFWaex-TKKZwmi7jOMXcMGf-YlpTChvs-so8QHfqT77AMfsAm67f7L5TGxViPGKI47FAu-i6z03rNgC2elPmByOORwMLTDxcSzwadX3HTA/s320/IMG_1177.JPG" /></a><br />This is also another idea I would like to try in black and white.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipA5Mu0dF7JJXENPk5FX519eZGoGHOOCLRz9v0qCzGjK5lJbgcwvkxMwGTdTf6MBDn5UM6zoZkb16H7JqqUo-8AgJsLsRWRfqdLjqsJXy4NhvK29OEIP58GKakJENjtgC2iM0sdBGcgIM/s1600/Picture+742.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483008869923252274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipA5Mu0dF7JJXENPk5FX519eZGoGHOOCLRz9v0qCzGjK5lJbgcwvkxMwGTdTf6MBDn5UM6zoZkb16H7JqqUo-8AgJsLsRWRfqdLjqsJXy4NhvK29OEIP58GKakJENjtgC2iM0sdBGcgIM/s320/Picture+742.jpg" /></a> Ok so it's off to hunt for more black and white fabric...that is the fun part...I will keep you updated on the hunt.<br />I hope everyone has a great quilting day.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85749/thim3/be330b9f74e1ecf05c23b6d333fa08d4.png" /></a>Thim3http://www.blogger.com/profile/12088761441744841170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215630280690639864.post-48571708980397361382010-04-18T06:02:00.000-07:002010-04-19T06:16:46.378-07:00Working on some UFOsI get five days off from work this week so I am hoping to work on some of these UFOs. I did a little bit of work on them a few weeks ago and put them on my design wall to see what they might look like.<br /><br />I have fallen in love with Debbie Caffrey's book "Open a Can of Worms" My favorite pattern from that book is the Four Patches and Friends. It is so easy and a great way to use up some scraps. I always cut up 2 1/2 inch squares from any scraps I have left over from any other quilt projects. This pattern works very well with those squares. I have alot of flower scraps so this one I am making with those and I have another going with just all my diferent scraps.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJDI8EC6mil8EQFfs52XUsZ4yxK-EDgrYOjG56Azr6S0ypyZlvVN0cglIE15qowgtrY2vSOwP5Sb0SYFREFJSZ4w6BxNifOMtZSZ_fVSsH5S3AHziPB5FM_OLi3sjOSqHATMTJmEDevAY/s1600/IMG_1113.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461465349455734338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJDI8EC6mil8EQFfs52XUsZ4yxK-EDgrYOjG56Azr6S0ypyZlvVN0cglIE15qowgtrY2vSOwP5Sb0SYFREFJSZ4w6BxNifOMtZSZ_fVSsH5S3AHziPB5FM_OLi3sjOSqHATMTJmEDevAY/s320/IMG_1113.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUiKZ_jy0ICi5Dnmgrq5VuGSIWaVmfLzQrnTrc5pyI7ncPHzutNmvo7rnY9iI2_Hlx0jvDJ-5u3cMRJovoJuTcTMnzWp5TWgibqW05QljKiXYZswixkl6vpTBjTatLynHa7h6pk6mRK8s/s1600/IMG_1102.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461467414225381538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUiKZ_jy0ICi5Dnmgrq5VuGSIWaVmfLzQrnTrc5pyI7ncPHzutNmvo7rnY9iI2_Hlx0jvDJ-5u3cMRJovoJuTcTMnzWp5TWgibqW05QljKiXYZswixkl6vpTBjTatLynHa7h6pk6mRK8s/s320/IMG_1102.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvAS8P3maS4hZf_U8Md97T8PAsnY1-L9IjsTFN4d4DXko3fkQzGlWsPoA9aUCM486-PZ4Cy3ruSRpvuSZ4rlnxVj8HijlsbkDRXLKKdseLXdUP153ZHaN1VFfg8zdQWpkUkbdBkW6rmoY/s1600/IMG_1104.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461468611719011858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvAS8P3maS4hZf_U8Md97T8PAsnY1-L9IjsTFN4d4DXko3fkQzGlWsPoA9aUCM486-PZ4Cy3ruSRpvuSZ4rlnxVj8HijlsbkDRXLKKdseLXdUP153ZHaN1VFfg8zdQWpkUkbdBkW6rmoY/s320/IMG_1104.JPG" /></a> I really would like to finish my grandsons fish bowl quilt. It took me awhile to collect all the fish material but it was fun doing it. Every bowl has a differnt kind of fish in it. Here are two of the rows that I have done already on my design wall. I still have to buy the sashing for in between the rows. I think I am going to try to find some blue or green colors.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgne_2lGII-F7unyC0efDhLOYf_XEVDxV-8PRAYiU3VzXL3hbIjzIobGMH1PJfV_iyie7Y3KDdMjy1a73r4c1Ma_ofy7rVLmtMIYoWyQOQOYDRy89wMY1ghpQAJ-EnJzfdsePBaYvj8SAI/s1600/IMG_1106.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461471485631591026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgne_2lGII-F7unyC0efDhLOYf_XEVDxV-8PRAYiU3VzXL3hbIjzIobGMH1PJfV_iyie7Y3KDdMjy1a73r4c1Ma_ofy7rVLmtMIYoWyQOQOYDRy89wMY1ghpQAJ-EnJzfdsePBaYvj8SAI/s320/IMG_1106.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9xCGDJ7FCnyAKQnWPdg2a5JOWxn96OwQ2gk4xk6QDM6kUlx6Adxsxp9rZqTYlR0Zo_mQj5QDqhJ8TCf1Nzn18IJVAtrXw9k-ytEdUiz_JaxHKZe7FB6fO_D7OBuxdeixkRgUOLhT2po/s1600/IMG_1107.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461472285960668370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9xCGDJ7FCnyAKQnWPdg2a5JOWxn96OwQ2gk4xk6QDM6kUlx6Adxsxp9rZqTYlR0Zo_mQj5QDqhJ8TCf1Nzn18IJVAtrXw9k-ytEdUiz_JaxHKZe7FB6fO_D7OBuxdeixkRgUOLhT2po/s320/IMG_1107.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Well I better go get sewing on these UFOs.

I can't believe how much I thought how hard this block would be to do. But is isn't and is fun to do. I was looking around in blogland and came across Lurline's Place <a href="http://lurlineg.blogspot.com/">http://lurlineg.blogspot.com/</a>. She has a Dresden Plate Tutorial for this style of Dresden plate. Thank you Lurline for posting this. I love it. I love scrappy quilts so this Dresden just falls right in there. I put together a few of my flower scrap pieces and this is the one I came up with.<br /><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFISzDQvaQOANfBlZf8x2KbPqFiotmrz9BAJkdycK8l4thBuC-gQR07OkaX5-NdGDweAW33SlT16S-_Ls3hOdV6apws_dXOjB2YyY4O9kCMPUuy__TIg79TiPbysJIFRarVEOFL9fzBjk/s1600-h/IMG_1073.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448825211339957298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFISzDQvaQOANfBlZf8x2KbPqFiotmrz9BAJkdycK8l4thBuC-gQR07OkaX5-NdGDweAW33SlT16S-_Ls3hOdV6apws_dXOjB2YyY4O9kCMPUuy__TIg79TiPbysJIFRarVEOFL9fzBjk/s320/IMG_1073.JPG" /></a> I then wanted to try a smaller Dresden plate block. I had just bought the March/April issue of McCalls quilting magazine and found this pattern by Virginia Robertson <a href="http://www.virginiarobertsondesigns.com/home">http://www.virginiarobertsondesigns.com/home</a> I love this too. I will try to make this one of my many next projects to do. I got out a few of my 1930's scraps and made this Dresden up from the magazine pattern. I think this one is my favorite size of Dresden.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUcnAE_Lrh_PYPA3wiuB9XgxPQdqXp-372axuzm0GS9jmnwwMP-RWIqr1u6Mc_rBHAqpN4imsCGPJorEe8ncZpboEldLc7T8dq7uhVFq6zfr34PvOcX3ZYC1iTTuhEo1-4DCRoqf9vlYQ/s1600-h/IMG_1076.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448825217716672370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUcnAE_Lrh_PYPA3wiuB9XgxPQdqXp-372axuzm0GS9jmnwwMP-RWIqr1u6Mc_rBHAqpN4imsCGPJorEe8ncZpboEldLc7T8dq7uhVFq6zfr34PvOcX3ZYC1iTTuhEo1-4DCRoqf9vlYQ/s320/IMG_1076.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEzrRFGGybHP7gPe_gztnXA2XUctBUSgosHcr1OWvw0TRPREwPE_hrhnXSoFTNn7H0UJRd1uPo82LTjhV0MwYXwxgLHbv_uoCzme0ox4aeq5cqLmTwq4a0TD7p0ACVXtTlFEyL7iPuUFU/s1600-h/IMG_1094.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448825226220546226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEzrRFGGybHP7gPe_gztnXA2XUctBUSgosHcr1OWvw0TRPREwPE_hrhnXSoFTNn7H0UJRd1uPo82LTjhV0MwYXwxgLHbv_uoCzme0ox4aeq5cqLmTwq4a0TD7p0ACVXtTlFEyL7iPuUFU/s320/IMG_1094.JPG" /></a> I hope everyone is having a good day.<br />One quilting project, like one cookie, is never enough!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2wuF6wokM2t-qzfWxL6HmtEHGMBK0hfMgwDxeYUH1OetUEk2ZUzuVYCO5KdrxhvqumwR8RJLsAL9tz7iCa8PVfCXTRW7CE3_Hl2TNtavJBspbKtfZg38MUV330JrLEYnDcBz6MeejkE/s1600-h/IMG_1093.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448825221580498530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2wuF6wokM2t-qzfWxL6HmtEHGMBK0hfMgwDxeYUH1OetUEk2ZUzuVYCO5KdrxhvqumwR8RJLsAL9tz7iCa8PVfCXTRW7CE3_Hl2TNtavJBspbKtfZg38MUV330JrLEYnDcBz6MeejkE/s320/IMG_1093.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85749/thim3/be330b9f74e1ecf05c23b6d333fa08d4.png" /></a>Thim3http://www.blogger.com/profile/12088761441744841170noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215630280690639864.post-43248189099414964492010-02-19T19:18:00.000-08:002010-02-19T19:45:18.366-08:00Dresden Plate BlocksLet me just say that it has been a little while since I have posted on my blog. I had some knee surgery but I am doing good now and fixing to go back to work this Monday. I have been off for about seven weeks now.<br />While I was off I did try to get a little bit of sewing done. I have fallen in love with the Dresden Plate block.

They are celebrating their 5th birthday next month. I love this shop, the owner Linda and all the ladies that work there are very nice and will help with anything they can. They have asked their costumers to make a cupcake square and put our names on them. They will take all the squares and make a quilt to hang in the shop. I have seen some of the other cupcake squares and everyone did a great job. I will try to get a picture of the quilt when it is finished.<br /><br /><div>Oh and they also had a cute little cupcake potholder pattern I bought. I like to make different kinds of potholders. Can't wait to make this one.</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtthTSypF5AeBP85QPZjjNkF-QCkHFPyDnQlt6tdKnKR8Zx8uyrzk5lxstTKRXRQR4I2GBsTKW7XlyN1F0LPxwk4AlJWKJqKAe3cCl1vyWd7Te7sQq1w69b5K8Ze8HmAwa-9SDyGn2Moc/s1600-h/IMG_0873.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386201302553824322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtthTSypF5AeBP85QPZjjNkF-QCkHFPyDnQlt6tdKnKR8Zx8uyrzk5lxstTKRXRQR4I2GBsTKW7XlyN1F0LPxwk4AlJWKJqKAe3cCl1vyWd7Te7sQq1w69b5K8Ze8HmAwa-9SDyGn2Moc/s320/IMG_0873.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Happy 5th Birthday Tomorrows Quilt <a href="http://www.tomorrowsquilts.com/"><span style="color:#3333ff;">http://www.tomorrowsquilts.com/</span></a></div><div>I hope you have many many more birthdays.</div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85749/thim3/be330b9f74e1ecf05c23b6d333fa08d4.png" border="0" /></a>Thim3http://www.blogger.com/profile/12088761441744841170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215630280690639864.post-49676142253042717852009-09-25T12:03:00.000-07:002009-09-25T13:47:00.708-07:00Rag Quilting QuestionI am off work today so I am trying to catch up on my blogging.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0UHr0PJqFQ7aDrWoPjNEj3pljPH-j2u260UuU8P6fo29Wg1luwzEG8rG1kyLA0hsIuvVV_Buc_VJ-OT0N3ucwBmxGyoQMwRJfM_51YgewWVLSmadvSULK3qtKwsk5GlC67OjQZ3wTsS0/s1600-h/IMG_0851.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385506776441618818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0UHr0PJqFQ7aDrWoPjNEj3pljPH-j2u260UuU8P6fo29Wg1luwzEG8rG1kyLA0hsIuvVV_Buc_VJ-OT0N3ucwBmxGyoQMwRJfM_51YgewWVLSmadvSULK3qtKwsk5GlC67OjQZ3wTsS0/s320/IMG_0851.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I have fallen in love with rag quilts. They are easy and when you are finished you are done...no having to get anything machine quilted...great gifts to give.<br />I have only made one so far...but want to make many more. I got interested in them when my Aunt passed away and she had alot of bluejeans and blue jean dresses. I asked my uncle if I could have them so I could make a few blue jean quilts. I got looking around at different ideas for some quilt with bluejeans and came across the rag quilts. I am still trying to get all the jeans and dresses cut out into squares. I had bought some jean material from hobby lobby several years ago to make me a dress and never did. I picked up some pretty flower and pink material and made this rag quilt. I did put flannel in the middle for batting so it is a little heavy but mighty warm.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgef6sw2H5tnu3wSG_MOsH7gaAGINFcuSKKpM0_tW0rZbjzvpI7uCuWPbXzjnd93gTEy3dL6O7FMiAGAlFcBMTtJSx9cv6Rq_SHLS-nob-29vR_xtMp1WkufLNo2muZt57LHCWz1QQYy8g/s1600-h/IMG_0849.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385506785752509666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgef6sw2H5tnu3wSG_MOsH7gaAGINFcuSKKpM0_tW0rZbjzvpI7uCuWPbXzjnd93gTEy3dL6O7FMiAGAlFcBMTtJSx9cv6Rq_SHLS-nob-29vR_xtMp1WkufLNo2muZt57LHCWz1QQYy8g/s320/IMG_0849.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhydTIqV9BUjT6r_UHLZtSL9ygE1zVfTlXaGwIcr3W3Z-savuUgqTpc4dZMz8sEvqQe4V3rLFDwch8tzoihB8htOz_nG9omjWK8f4HCbDRgE9XVG2-JwCo6CSfVyczNX-VWRas30P1Arxg/s1600-h/IMG_0852.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385506795848301442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhydTIqV9BUjT6r_UHLZtSL9ygE1zVfTlXaGwIcr3W3Z-savuUgqTpc4dZMz8sEvqQe4V3rLFDwch8tzoihB8htOz_nG9omjWK8f4HCbDRgE9XVG2-JwCo6CSfVyczNX-VWRas30P1Arxg/s320/IMG_0852.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The next rag quilts I want to make are going to made out of all flannel. They look so pretty.<br />The local quilt shop Tomorrows Quilts <a href="http://www.tomorrowsquilts.com/">http://www.tomorrowsquilts.com/</a> I go to in Waco has some flannel rag quilts on display. Linda the owner just started selling the Accuquilt Go fabric cutter <a href="http://www.accuquilt.com/homepage.asp">http://www.accuquilt.com/homepage.asp</a> She used the accuquilt rag quilt dye to cut out those rag quilts. I have been looking into buying the accuquilt go. Does anyone have one and have you used the rag quilt dyes? How much do you like the Accuquilt? I would appreciate any feedback on it.<br />When I do a flannel rag quilt I will post some pics.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85749/thim3/be330b9f74e1ecf05c23b6d333fa08d4.png" border="0" /></a>Thim3http://www.blogger.com/profile/12088761441744841170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215630280690639864.post-90328568193219680772009-09-07T14:05:00.000-07:002009-09-07T20:05:24.932-07:00Changing to FallFall is in the air. I have woke up several mornings (I get up at 3:15 am on work days) this past few weeks and I can just feel Fall coming. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the colors and the cool air...not to hot and not to cold.<br />I haven't been on my blog for a while. My husband had foot surgery and I have been busy with all kind of other things. I have been trying to get some sewing done. I will post some pics soon of what I have been working on.<br />Oh school started.

I didn't even know he was standing there taking the pic.</div><br /><div>I think sometimes I have a addiction to quilting magazines. I like to read all about the new gadgets, fabric lines, and all the new and different quilt patterns. I subscribe to all of my favorites so I won't miss one. I have a question to everyone.....Do you keep any of the quilt magazines that you buy after you have read them? I can't seem to get rid of mine. I feel like I need to keep them so I can go back and look for patterns some other day. The magazines are going to take over my closet one day. The quilt shop I go to in Waco does take donated used quilt magazines and sells them for 25cents apiece. The money is then donated to the animal shelter. I have given a few of my magazines to them one time but it sure was hard to let go.</div><br /><br /><div>I remember the first quilt magazine I bought. I was in Beaumont Tx. with my mom when she had her cancer. I went to a fabric store there and at the check out there was a Quiltmaker mag. with the pattern on the cover called Friends. It caught my eye, I bought it, and read Quiltmaker ever since. I ended up making a quilt from that pattern on the cover for my new granddaughter.</div><br /><br /><div>Here are pics of three of the box's I have my mags in. I have two others that I didn't get into the picture.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg63Q96m0f26_GsAlbcLAe-KdJlEErlg1qTKm7xl28VkTKooWxpEcG7FHZHGm4iSq5ZFZdAdDpYMcZN7pHspEYwiuwypJisXSbZqRiQapsgHUIqbcWaRTl2h6X1uAIxGSixKHeb9ikLZuM/s1600-h/IMG_0789.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365440740856379314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg63Q96m0f26_GsAlbcLAe-KdJlEErlg1qTKm7xl28VkTKooWxpEcG7FHZHGm4iSq5ZFZdAdDpYMcZN7pHspEYwiuwypJisXSbZqRiQapsgHUIqbcWaRTl2h6X1uAIxGSixKHeb9ikLZuM/s320/IMG_0789.JPG" border="0" /></a> There are even more magazines that are on my sewing table.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLfp1P68FZw0zDeBR16pt84ekwHguu7dSXAbZRHeJPx46RDjPYRcTKcSDifCS3RbZ9bJEA-VkgSmP-dIKazTFfgpsYj0rD0kUllfydzUDN-fzS1RYRWb6uxEFgInWylwTkcf9PF6yVF3Q/s1600-h/IMG_0790.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365441447713632594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLfp1P68FZw0zDeBR16pt84ekwHguu7dSXAbZRHeJPx46RDjPYRcTKcSDifCS3RbZ9bJEA-VkgSmP-dIKazTFfgpsYj0rD0kUllfydzUDN-fzS1RYRWb6uxEFgInWylwTkcf9PF6yVF3Q/s320/IMG_0790.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />These are my favorite quilt magazines.

I am glad I didn't set to many goals to get done. I was rather busy these three days off. I took my grandson to the pool. He had a lot of fun swimming and going down the water slide. Yesterday I got a surprise visit from three nieces that I haven't seen in a long time. We had a good visit.<br /><br />I did get to work on the three goals that I set for myself on these three days off.<br /><br />First I started working on my scrappy nine patch blocks. I got inspired from looking around at other blogs and the nine patch sew along that was going on. I think it was started by the blog Crazy Mom Quilts. Every time I have some scraps left over from other projects I cut out any 2.5 by 2.5 squares and charm size squares that I can. I want to try to make a scrappy Irish Chain quilt out of some of the squares. I do have a lot of my Christmas squares so I will make a nine patch out of that. Here are some I work on this weekend.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzKiE-USsZMql6V2azsb60OYwUQ-rfrkJaKSTvMSbThEKC7viArTLy6ZSX7F7pmkxV3AIzsNcJ4-MbNCmvDUFiSfu2JIbrIE5DtDVKKWMcFieKlKuJ4rGAy7pY0sCkDke84REhxxEhWAY/s1600-h/IMG_0755.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362905232874713378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzKiE-USsZMql6V2azsb60OYwUQ-rfrkJaKSTvMSbThEKC7viArTLy6ZSX7F7pmkxV3AIzsNcJ4-MbNCmvDUFiSfu2JIbrIE5DtDVKKWMcFieKlKuJ4rGAy7pY0sCkDke84REhxxEhWAY/s320/IMG_0755.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_YaQ-NiKQmjICHd2o7eI23zzMF3-JjZfnvk35vZqECoBDjclxpUov8jTDqWM0BogVicO5unGPGFNqJil0uyw2OWLgXnl0uQ_e0HcKa4xtJdk_4yXfIk_jgd_pRhneO3hb00orRfWOsQ/s1600-h/IMG_0753.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362905239006673858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_YaQ-NiKQmjICHd2o7eI23zzMF3-JjZfnvk35vZqECoBDjclxpUov8jTDqWM0BogVicO5unGPGFNqJil0uyw2OWLgXnl0uQ_e0HcKa4xtJdk_4yXfIk_jgd_pRhneO3hb00orRfWOsQ/s320/IMG_0753.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I also work a little bit more on my Sunbonnet Quilt.

The pattern is from a McCalls quilting magazine from June 2006. They had embroidery flowers on it. I was going to do it that way but I decided that I would like the sunbonnets much better.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9CYMbaYCmyRdxcgQjhMFXTUpPQLtCMsqaOdBfG1E-Km0_ZQ1yTenVa89dV0Y9UdonuBiA3PnaQTIwVMx6xTxMKQcarbzlQsMK0Lyyo4g-eo-2WBvdYHj0k-YXJKRP5UOgy9t9YxEk53w/s1600-h/IMG_0627.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356606791594696962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9CYMbaYCmyRdxcgQjhMFXTUpPQLtCMsqaOdBfG1E-Km0_ZQ1yTenVa89dV0Y9UdonuBiA3PnaQTIwVMx6xTxMKQcarbzlQsMK0Lyyo4g-eo-2WBvdYHj0k-YXJKRP5UOgy9t9YxEk53w/s320/IMG_0627.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The Sunbonnets are doing sewing and working in the garden.</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbYC68X0ioSKntuOYv8MURISy7wXyx0KrHIV5-fOgU3L5yivNXdjXjHbBg9r5477M4UWD3fV8kWmjzbwITnb64zRN2J2gRAm6YomotEmYvpGDwHpRSf9wE9ClhK_k4cUWY3J7513lPTWE/s1600-h/IMG_0628.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356606801592317138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbYC68X0ioSKntuOYv8MURISy7wXyx0KrHIV5-fOgU3L5yivNXdjXjHbBg9r5477M4UWD3fV8kWmjzbwITnb64zRN2J2gRAm6YomotEmYvpGDwHpRSf9wE9ClhK_k4cUWY3J7513lPTWE/s320/IMG_0628.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygIpfYwWzNDSXJ_tOzDGitAh0ICOGXGr5A45u6JwbHjoH-JzBg2sLMlYjXVspaipvkL5CAC7Ym7h_OHS6Y2rBnhI7De2_N1FcgEKcdPOfmnr6_fqC505ZzZDYkS77uWicfXoXn7gfvrY/s1600-h/IMG_0629.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356606804364791186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygIpfYwWzNDSXJ_tOzDGitAh0ICOGXGr5A45u6JwbHjoH-JzBg2sLMlYjXVspaipvkL5CAC7Ym7h_OHS6Y2rBnhI7De2_N1FcgEKcdPOfmnr6_fqC505ZzZDYkS77uWicfXoXn7gfvrY/s320/IMG_0629.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEk_J-vKeZT3-pgg8L_Hy0Kt_LjHBerpsxyxLKsESXTkDckgS1KZodAs20v6veFx2IJBgWrUV9Rno4PvpRuVoEaOUOcvNmJUZwubCx6QtmzvWdVR3P-9BelIB0uUtZopXSGbE9i2ei_Ew/s1600-h/IMG_0630.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356606810704265522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEk_J-vKeZT3-pgg8L_Hy0Kt_LjHBerpsxyxLKsESXTkDckgS1KZodAs20v6veFx2IJBgWrUV9Rno4PvpRuVoEaOUOcvNmJUZwubCx6QtmzvWdVR3P-9BelIB0uUtZopXSGbE9i2ei_Ew/s320/IMG_0630.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>This is what two of the squares will look like next to each other.

My husband and I went to our neighbors house to watch the firework show on their deck. We had alot of fun.<br /><br />I have just recently gotten hooked on making yo yos. I have been thinking about buying the Clover yo yo maker for a while now but just thought that I would like them. Well I finally bought the extra large round maker and now I am hooked. I even went back and bought the large and small round maker and the large heart maker. I have searched the web for ideas to use them with and have found a few. I made a Christmas quilt last year and have a few leftover scraps so I decided to make a yo yo garland to put on my Christmas tree this year.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixc0RuzNKFe-M6TDlYLE5trxNCeCb6PTGktsAO1LsmAhnHQWxt-fHyyytt9et97dNZUnlJwUaxht266mydA69k4aksgTFmA8wDzu-hq-b9a9QzB5jIGEmmWRZcL3w6RWdE13l_N1coSeE/s1600-h/IMG_0612.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356222438388493938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixc0RuzNKFe-M6TDlYLE5trxNCeCb6PTGktsAO1LsmAhnHQWxt-fHyyytt9et97dNZUnlJwUaxht266mydA69k4aksgTFmA8wDzu-hq-b9a9QzB5jIGEmmWRZcL3w6RWdE13l_N1coSeE/s320/IMG_0612.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Here are a few of my Christmas yo yo I have done already.</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7cI9GCd3hZ1KDgYelwZQ-LIia1X13z1IVS40fMFmak-Of5Vf_p-URMIL2H0qbDSjNoNpNL5mWgqTyZ-fgmSbHlcsrJL0JKKR8U0Guj0IcsydRU-7UmfIx0UKz1Y5aSHPEFT6h07o-Ca4/s1600-h/IMG_0613.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356222439164274338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7cI9GCd3hZ1KDgYelwZQ-LIia1X13z1IVS40fMFmak-Of5Vf_p-URMIL2H0qbDSjNoNpNL5mWgqTyZ-fgmSbHlcsrJL0JKKR8U0Guj0IcsydRU-7UmfIx0UKz1Y5aSHPEFT6h07o-Ca4/s320/IMG_0613.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><div>I also bought the book by Atkinson Design called Big Bags Little Bags and fell in love with the tote on the cover.
