Bryce and his quilt!

 

Here is Bryce and his quilt.

This is the 3rd quilt for this family.

I love getting big smiles and hugs

from these amazing young men.

He did tell me he wasn't graduating.

Luckily he was just kidding!

I took a quilt to the quilter on Saturday.  Should be ready this coming weekend.

Still working on my purple quilt.  Can't seem to find the perfect border yet.

Also working on the patriotic quilt I started at the last retreat.

Need to get busy on a baby girl quilt for my niece.  She is having a little girl after having

4 energetic little boys.

Happy Quilting!                     Lynda

Basket of Bunnies and Easter Eggs

  

My granddaughter, Sweet Ellie, spent the night with us

last night.  She likes to sew a project while she is here 

so we made Easter Bunnies last night.

This morning she got up and wanted to make

Easter Eggs to go with the Bunnies.

Here she is stuffing!

(I know, I know......stacks of fabric everywhere!  But

this is clean compared to what it usually looks like!!!)

Ellie wanted to show each of the 9 Bunnies and Eggs that she made.

And the whole basket of Bunnies and Eggs.

We love having our grandchildren spend the night individually.  That way we get to spend lots of time doing just what they want to do.  So far we have made cinnamon roll bunnies, ride on her bike, gone to the park, picked up McDonalds, sewn bunnies, watched a movie, read books, slept a little, made Easter eggs, had breakfast, taken pictures and already at 9 a.m. she wants to head to the new park now.  She has planned putting a puzzle together, play the piano, maybe make cookies, play trains with Grandpa and Barbies with me, and I can see her mind thinking of what else she can do before it is time to go home.

Love this time together.

Happy Quilting!                       Lynda

Finally! Some finishes!!!

I have loved the elongated Shoo Fly for quite some time and knew I would

finally make one.  When I saw these cheerful fabrics,

I knew these would be perfect for this block.

I especially loved the black fabric with 

summer BBQ fun

printed on it.

I think the black sashing really

showcased the bright blocks.

I did make a FEW too many blocks 

so ended up using them on the back.

I really love this quilt!

I was given a lot of green fabrics from my friend, Leslie.

I added a few of my own and made this Rail Fence Quilt.

I had sewn several blocks together not caring where

the light, medium and dark were placed.

Didn't like that at all!

So I took them apart and sewed them back together

with the lights forming a pinwheel design.

From this picture you can barely see the black pinwheel.

This picture shows the black pinwheel a little better.

Some of the greens were so dark the black pinwheel 

almost disappeared.

It really is a beautiful play on it's name tho.......

"The Grass is always Greener".

This quilt is for a High School Senior graduating in a few months.

We have a son who is getting married soon.

This quilt will be a gift to them.

I love red and white quilts!

Meeting Monica for the first time we were delighted by her

vibrant personality and joy for life.

Red seemed like the perfect color for their quilt.

Once again I am cleaning my sewing room.  Why does it never stay clean!!! I was looking for the cord to my camera and thought I might have put it with some stuff for a retreat.  I haven't found the cord but I have had a ball finding other things.  I would straighten fabrics, throw out some, mark some for our Quilt Guild Fair in the summer, and find unfinished projects along the way.  Now I have a pile of quilts that just need the border sewn on, or a back made, or a border fabric purchased, or take to the quilter.  Most things are put away neatly...............for now.  But as soon as I start work on the next project, the room will look like a tornado struck again.  

Happy Quilting!              Lynda
