Charity Bears and More

Tonight is the last guild meeting for the season for the small guild I belong to - SNR  aka Stitch N Rippits.  So I thought I'd try and finish up the little charity quilt that I brought home to quilt a couple weeks ago.  And it actually went really quick.  

Hard to see unless you zoom, but I put a couple clouds in the sky, did texture in the ground, echo'd in tan and green area and loops in the blue squares.
So once I was done with that I thought I would start in on the lap quilt I want to make for my first Mother in law.  She said she likes pastels.  It went together quickly so I got it pinned ready to quilt.  

Then I did the remaining side left of the hand stitching of binding on the flag quilt for my Daughter in law. It's a lot bigger than I intended it to be so had a hard time figuring out where to hang for a picture. 

That was it for last night.  Today I'm working on a fabric and fleece throw for my grandson in law and then a pillowcase dress for my Great Granddaughter.  Tonight's the meeting so I think that will be enough for today but if I still have time I'll pin another quilt.

Have a Blessed day!

Day on Day off

After I got the quilting done on the flag quilt on Monday - 

and after dinner, I cut and sewed the binding on.  I didn't get a picture of that, but I will once the binding is hand sewn.  I need to find a better place to hang quilts to take pictures of them. 
Tuesday I was on fire.  I did some house cleaning, then I pin basted 4 quilts so that I had them ready to go.  (Even started quilting.  :)
Next up on the quilting schedule - Carter's Minecraft quilt.

Then my Bag Ladies.

This one is a charity one that I brought home from the cottage.  

And my Bee Quilt.  

Then I plugged in my headphones and started in on Minecraft.  Since it's pixel squares I am mostly doing stitch in the ditch and a little echo quilting on it.  I got about 3/4 of it done before I stopped on Tuesday.   
Wednesday - well that was another story.  As if it wasn't bad enough to have a bruised tailbone that I'm dealing with, I fell and hit my head and bruised my ribs so Wednesday was a day off. I laid on the couch all day, and watched NCIS reruns.  So day on fire Tuesday - day off on Wednesday.  Today, yes still sore, I'm going to see if I can do a little more quilting on the Minecraft quilt, if not maybe some hand stitching on binding. I'll let you know how I do. 
Have a blessed day!

Waves and Stars

I had a few hours to work on the flag quilt, and was able to get the inside and the inner border done.

Here's another angle.

I wasn't sure what to do in the star blocks, so I put a star in them.  :)

Of course my helper was on the ready to assist.  :)

Today I want to get the outside border done and the binding sewn on.  If I have any extra time after that, I'll pin baste another quilt and get it ready to go.  

Have a Blessed day!

Flag Top

There wasn't a lot left to do on this one.  I needed to make the star corners

 and add the two borders. 

After I got the top done I went in search for batting.   I have lots, but I didn't have a solid large piece of white.  So I cut a couple pieces of white from a bolt I had and will be piecing that together.  Once that is done I can get it basted to quilt.  I am hoping to have this done before I go to my retreat on the 17th of June.  

Today is normally the day we go to the cottage and sew, but Annette is out of town.  So a couple of us are just meeting for lunch a little later.  In the mean time I'll be working on this.  

Have a Blessed Day!
