It is so hard to believe that we are going into March, Time is flying by, but my mother said it would be like that the older you get the faster the time would by.
What have you all been doing? I am trying to get back into sewing/quilting, and I will be posting pictures soon...
It is cold here in central Arkansas, we got a very light snow this morning, and I thought "Oh Gosh" just when I was going somewhere, but it didn't amount to anything.....my sister and I went to visit our younger sister and her family, it was good to see them all, not like seeing family...
I will be checking in later, you all have a great weekend and God Bless....

WOW Amazing

December 30, 2012

Gee I can not believe it has been 3 years since I last posted, a lot has happened  in my corner since I last posted here....

I have went through a big transformation, I  had 3 surgeries  in one on December 20, 2010...it has took 2 years for me to start feeling half way like a human...When you get older it just takes longer to get over things....
I have lost a bunch of weight and now having trouble keeping my protein level and Iron level normal, so there for I stay tired all the time.

My little Chihuahua pictured, Annie Beth passed away, we were devestated by her death, we had her since she was 5 weeks old and she lived 12 -1/2 years...she is deeply missed.

I have made a few more quilts and will try and post pictures later, My sister and I took 7 quilts to The Ronald McDonald House in Little Rock last year and had wanted to take more this year but was not able to make it....

We have had 4 deaths in our families this year, my sisters husband Jack, my cousins husband Tony, and my husbands sister Agnes and sister-in-law Juanita,  such great people that has gone to be with our Lord...

O.K. enough for now, I hope you all have a Blessed and safe New Year..

Hello my Friends,
I just wanted to give you a heads up on the colors of the blocks, etc...... We will have 2 swaps going if enough join in....

First swap is: Blue, Purple, Cream all around....meaning, we will make 2 blocks one is a purple block, if there are 2 purples used you will use dark purple and a lighter purple, cream all around is the background and it's unbleached muslin.....no whites at all... The fabric: Marbles, Tone on Tone, but only Unbleached Muslin for the background.....Please pre-wash all fabrics. Also use a good quality fabric. I will post a picture each month of the blocks we are to make.
The same will go for the blue block...., Now along with those blocks we will make 4 ~ 6.5" Friendship Star blocks...2~ Blue and 2 Purple, same kind of fabric., so you will make a total of 2 ~ 12.5" blocks and 4 ~ 6.5" blocks.....

Second swap is: Yellow and Green and white all around, not white on white but Bleached Muslin.... 12.5" block....Now with this block you the maker can choose the block you would like to make, please change blocks each month so we won't get the same block over and over.

Please remember:
1. Contact me when you send and receive.
This is important for me to keep up where the swap is at......
2. If you have any questions contact me.

If you have any questions please e-mail me: kittykid_3@yahoo.com and put 2010 in subject line..

I look forward to swapping with you...
Be Safe
Hugs, Louise

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Hello everyone,

Well this is what has kept me busy for awhile and I am glad to be finished with it , this is the Dora things I made for my great niece for Christmas, my only regret is using the fabric with glitter on it to shash the blocks together.

I used tonal backing and quilted hearts on it, so if she outgrows "Dora" she can turn the quilt over and have a purple one.....

O.K. I will be right back with some information about our swap for 2010...

Are You Ready For The New Year??

Hey Everyone,
How was your Christmas? We had a nice one but a few members of the family was sick and still are sick but it was a nice one anyway.....I have survived and have started cleaning the sewing room up from all the sewing that went on....My great nieces Quilt, Curtains and pillow turned out pretty and I will upload pictures soon.

I have started working on our swap for 2010, this will be different and there will be triangles, I know, I know...but we need some in this quilt....Hey who has their Red and White blocks set together? if you have yours set together please e-mail me a picture and I will upload it here, mine is not set together yet but I do have the fabrice to set it together but I got to get this one going first.

So stay tuned, I will be back.......
Be Safe,
Hugs, Louise

1 More Month

Until Christmas....a little less than a month actually, Are you all ready?? I have most of my shopping finished, I tried to start it early and did start earlier than I usually do.



Tina, I received my 2 blocks for the BOM, they are pretty and thank you for them and the goody you sent I appreciate it.... so I think there is one who likes receiving their blocks and when she does receive them then this swap will be over for the year......


I have been busy making a gift for my Secret Santa Partner on a Quilt group I am on, got them done except for the coasters and it won't take long to do them...here it is:

It's long, so this is the best I could do with taking a picture..



You can actually see the color better in the placemats....I hope she likes them.
Now on to get the quilt quilted for my niece and the curtains made....I know my gr-niece will be happy with the quilt, that girl is crazy about Dora the Explorer, and she loves pink, LOL she probably will hate pink when she grows up.....
Well gotta go, Have a peaceful night,
And Be Safe.
Hugs, Louise
