Happy Easter!

This is truely amazing and beautiful....Do, Re, Mi Enjoy!!

Second finish for April!

Today I finished a love cover for a quilt retreat I'm attending in June. Planning on making more between now and then. I sat down to stitch the binding down and Eddie came up and thought he should lay down on it and sleep...ugh...goofy cat! Quickly got him off and got it done before he came back.

I found this on my doorstep today!

As I was pulling in the driveway I looked at the front door, like I always do and saw a package at the door. So I brought it in and opened it up wondering what was in it. Well one of the online quilting groups I belong to sent me a floral bouquet! How sweet is that!

I have a finish for April...

And it's only the 2nd of the month!! Woohoo! I made this top at a quilt class oh probably about 5 - 6 years ago and it has laid in the drawer waiting for me to do something with it. About a year ago I found some fabric to use for the backing and got it all ready to be quilted and there it sat for another year....see a pattern here? LOL Well yesterday I sat down and quilted it and made the binding. Today I put the binding on it and it is finished!! Woohoo!

Diet Challenge Report March 30

I did make it to my Weight Watcher meeting last Weds and lets just say that was the only good thing about it. My weigh in sucked! I knew it would...I gained 1.3 pounds. So needless to say I am back at square one on the trying to loose merry go round. I haven't done real well this week at watching what I'm eating and drinking and I just hope that when I go weigh in on Weds I won't gain anymore. If I stay the same I will be happy. I did end up on anti-inflamatory meds for my arm...seems I pulled/strained my deltoid muscle in my right arm...and also got put on an antibiotic for a sinus infection. So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL

Quiltathon Day 2, A Finish!! and Stashbuster Reports!!

I am doing a major happy dance here in Florida!!! One we got some much needed rain today! And two I have a finish!!!! This weekend was Quiltathon Weekend hosted by Judy. Thanks Judy for the kick in the butt I needed to sew something. This tablerunner I had made in a class probably a year ago at the LQS...goodness to think I let it lay that long before finishing it. I was so close to having it done. Well Saturday I got the quilting and trimming done. And today I made and attached the binding. I cheated and sewed the binding down using a decorative stitch on my sewing machine. I know I know! You should have sewn that by hand and one of these days I will really do it that way.

On the Stashbusting front I see it's been a few weeks since I've updated my totals.

Fabric added this week 0 yards
Total fabric added this year 11 7/8 yards

Fabric used this week 4 3/4 yards
Total fabric used this year 28 7/8 yards

Total fabric busted this year 17 yards

I am afraid after I go to Paducah my numbers are going to be out of whack!

Day 1 Quiltathon Progress

I made this tablerunner at a class at the LQS probably a year ago! Oh my!! Where has the time gone? Anyway I was able to get it quilted today. Hoping to get the binding made and sewn on yet today. My quilting isn't the greatest...I wish I was better at it...need to get Hubby to fix the leg in the table to my machine maybe that would help to have more support for it. But then again maybe more practice and a glass of wine first! LOL And since we are looking at sunflowers, here's a picture of the sunflowers Jim grew in the garden this winter. And that's Eddie peeking out from around them! Crazy cat!
