O.K. friends, the sign up for this swap has started, just e-mail me.


Jackie, that sounds like the book I bought by Carol Doak, Can't wait to get started but it will have to wait until I get some chairty blocks finished....the disadvantage of living in the boonies is you live to far to get in on classes and I don't do well driving at night......Are you doing much PP now?

O.K. everyone, I hope you all are resting well and are in dreamland, thats where I am headed now, so sleep tight.
Be safe.

Another Month Has Almost Bit The Dust !!!

Hello everyone,
How are you all doing?? The weather is cooling down and I love it, We have been able to turn the air off in the daytime for 2 days now.....

For you Red and White Block of the Month swappers, how are you all coming along with your blocks?? I've got my fabric picked out and washed for next months block and I may work on it tomorrow afternoon, only 3 more blocks left, In November we will make 2 blocks for November and December, I don't know about ya'll but December is always a busy month for me , not only because of the holidays but it's time to go to the eye doctor and other things that have to be taken care of.

I have been wanting to start learning Paper Piecing so I ordered a DVD by Carol Doak it's Carol Doak Teaches You to Paper Piece, looks like a good teaching DVD.....now to get my scanner hooked up to scan off some of the patterns from a book I have.

O.K. I'm off for the night, you all have a great Sunday.
Be Safe,
Hugs, Louise

Checking In

LOL, Tina, wait till you get my age, I'm sorry to say your memory loss gets worse...sad but true...
Thanks for the update on your block, hey girls , how are the rest of you coming along? we've started on the last week in the month, hard to believe that summer is almost over with....

Hey I have a question for any of ya.....have you ever rooted a Whysteria plant?? and I hope I have that spelled right.
This little 'old lady rooted me one, she just broke it off and stuck it in a bucket of dirt, man she has a green thumb, it took and I set it out, boy it's pretty after 3 years, I have tried to root one a friend of mine has tried, and my nephew who graduated with a degree in agri is trying for me now, but it doesn't look to me like it is going to take hold and root.
So if ya know anything about this I would appreciate the info.

I have 2 lap quilts quilted for charity, they are out of cheaters cloth but it will work and have several more to go....I just need to get the binding cut out and take to my sister to bind....slow but getting it done.

O.K. well thats it for the night, Ya'll have a peaceful night.
Be Safe.
Hugs, Louise

Hump Day!!

Today went fairly good, after working in the house most of the day I did manage to get a lap quilt about 3/4 quilted, but was so tired I stopped, and will try to finish it tomorrow sometime, Grocery shopping is at the top of the list for tomorrow.

I bought a quilt book a few week ago and it's called "Simple Strategies For Block-Swap Quilts" by Lynn Roddy Brown, It's a very interesting book, it shows you different ways to put your blocks together that you have received from a swap.....the Scrappy 4 patch we did in 3 Sisters is in there and she showed several different ways to assemble them, her block was white where we used black.

I put some of my blocks on the design board tonight, I really like this block. I had to take a side view of it because my quilter takes up the whole room, LOL....I think I am going to finish this out to a queen size.

I will post a picture when it's finished, so many projects and so little time, Or maybe it's because I am getting older??

Well on that note Tiger Lee and I say Good Night everyone.

Be Safe.,

Hugs, Louise

I started quilting a lap size quilt on my mid arm and then decided I did not like the way it was looking so I have it half way ripped out, boy it's harder to rip one out that you have quilted on a machine...YIKES!!! I need help any one willing to rip-rip??

Well hopefully tomorrow or I should say today (Here) will be a better one at quilting....Well I'm out of here for the time being.....
