Peek at the Owls

I have finally gotten all my owls done and have been playing around with different ideas on how I want to put them together. I really like the brown fabric I found to go around them and I have a really good contrast fabric to use.

I also got in my backing fabric the other day

I can't wait to get this finished. Working on it a little here and there will probably take a little while longer.

Don't forget to look for the Blog Hop Party on Dec 9 and the Giveaway Day on Dec 12

My Blocks Complete

I joined the Block Swap Adventure at the begining of  the year and I have really enjoyed the ride. The hardest part for me was to actually remember.  Usually I forget and before I know it I'm running late. Just like the last 3 months. If I'm not carefull they just might kick me out (lol)

Yesterday I got busy and did my block partners for Oct, Nov, and Dec - Now I'm all caught up

I brought them to work with me today and if I don't forget I will go mail them at lunch.

 It sure is rough getting old - the mind just isn't what it use to be.

Blog Hop Party

I have signed up to participate in the BLOG Hop Party.  It's an event in honour of Quilting Gallery's 4th Birthday on December 10th

I will host a give-away starting December 9th and lasting until December 17th. Come back and see what I come up with.

Dragon Quilt Top

After all the cooking and cleaning
After all the family and friends
After all the Black Friday deals
After not being in the sewing room for what seems like months

I managed to put together the dragons my husband made. He really liked the checker board look with the yellow. I wasn't too crazy about it but turned out ok. I didn't want to do that with the dragons I made on the yellow. I will have to think about mine for awhile.

Embroidery Floss Winner

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I cooked alot and ate waaaay too much but we saw most of our children and had a very full day. I am glad it's over - now maybe I can get back to my sewing.

As for the winner of the floss
I used the random number generator. I can't figure out how to copy it so I will just have to relate the number

It's number 15 ---Sallie ----  Congratulations


I haven't been able to get much done lately but I did manage to get another Home Tweet Home by McKenna Ryan done

When I finish all of them I will embelish them a little

Embroidery Floss Giveaway

Things have been really hectic lately and I haven't been able to spend any time in the sewing room. I have really neglected my blog lately so I  thought I would make up for it and offer one of my followers this box of embroidery floss. I know this doesn't make up for the neglect but it doesn't hurt to try.

Let's make this a Black Friday deal.

 I will pick one of my followers sometime Friday afternoon.

If I don't get back on here before Thursday ---HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone.

I moan and groan about my life but I'm so blessed and thankful for my family and all that I have

Dragons and Fence

My husband finished all his dragons Friday. I trimmed them up, put them on the wall(2 fell off) and started working on the sashing and border.

I trimmed up mine but I still have 2 more to finish

This is what I spent my weekend on. As you can see there was no sewing for me. I have come to the conclusion that I'm getting too old for this kind of work. I did the fence and my brother and his wife worked on an awning over the concrete slab in the back yard. Both of us are lamenting our sore muscles.

More Dragons

I made some more Dragons last night. Now I only have 3 more to go

I started my husband on another set on blue fabric. I'm not crazy about the blue but he likes it.

He's getting pretty good at this. Soon I'll have him doing all kinds of things - and save me some time

Dragons Anyone?

I got a request for a baby quilt and I had these patterns that I hadn't tried yet. So I thought I'd see what these looked like - there are 10 total. These are going to make such a cute quilt

Block Received

I received another block yesterday for my Block Swap. I hate to admit it but I'm behind again in getting mine out. I'm past due for October. Hopefully I will be able to get to them this weekend. Last weekend I did get the binding on the 3 quilts I recently finished.

How about a picture of my newest grandson. He's starting to develop his personality
