Red/White Jacob's Ladder

I actually finished this top June 2010....it is now in the to be quilted pile.  The blocks were from an online swap I was in.

My helper.....

It's a good thing I like Heather's cat or else he would end up in the pool one of these days!  This afternoon I thought ok let's play with the Lost Sock blocks, so off to the bedroom I went.  After a little while Eddie came in hoping I was taking a nap, and discovered he could help me with my project.  He has such good ideas...UGH!

Oh my!

  

Sarasota purchases

Punta Gorda purchases.....

Naples purchases

Please tell me I do not have to account for all that this Sunday on Stashbuster's!!  Isn't fabric purchased at shows exempt from the stash counting?  So glad only 1 more show to go to and that is the 26th of this month on Sanibel.

Otherwise I did do some sewing today.  Worked on the Summer Ribbons quilt I started at RIM 2010.  All block 1 blocks now have both sides on, just need cut apart, trimmed to 1/4 inch and pressed open.  Then onto block 2!

Log cabin quilt...grrrrrrrrrrrrrr........

Has almost ended up in the pool and the garbage can!  I am so frustrated with it that I would have no problem with tossing it!  I finished making the remaining 2 blocks I needeed, squared everything up, laid it out on the design wall and all looked good.  I sewed blocks into rows and then started sewing rows together and that is when the trouble started!  The rows have puckers and are just awful not to mention that I sewed 1 row on to the wrong side of the prior row...UGH...So yesterday I did not touch it!!  Today I will work on doing some ripping out and see IF I can get it to go together correctly.  If not it goes somewhere!!!!

Stash Report and Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's and Mom's to be!  May your day be joyful and full of love.

I am back to sewing and it feels so good!  I finally finished off something that has been on my design wall for who knows how long, oh I could go back through the blog and see but nah don't think so.  I finished putting together the 30's Sampler blocks into a top yesterday!  Yahoo!  Now to think about quilting it. 

Here's a picture...
