FINALLY FINISHED

This quilt wore me out. I've made one before but I just hit wall after wall on this one. I think I unsewed more than I sewed if thats possible. Fortunately it came out well worth the work. It was a gift for my adopted Auntie Hazel. She's a former marine and just had surgery so she needed something cozy. Hope she loves it. It's heading with the her to Little Rock for a week then back home to Minnesota.

NEW CHAIRS

Once I'm done with the living room I'll post pictures of hte new paint and the new sitting area. I wanted to replace the overly large sectional with big chairs but I've always hated recliners. I couldn't believe when I looked at these chairs they are recliners. Felt old though when even the sales guy said they looked a little modern or funky for me. I love em. They just need matchig quilts now.

THINGS MOVING SLOWLY

Well it's tax season so I have little free time but I don't want it to seem like I've been doing nothing. I have decided to repaint the living room and replace the big sectional with recliners. Here is the living room after SIL removed almost all of the purple wallpaper border. It looks like this was put on 20 years ago. It's amazing how much higher the ceilings looked with it gone.

MORE OUT THE DOOR

I didn't post the pictures here because the quilts don't belong to me but I did manage this weekend to get all 4 of the round robins I had in-house finished and in the mail. I also just finished the top for Auntie Hazel's quilt this week. I hope to get the backing tonight and get it quilted. I'll post that picture as soon as I get if complete. After that - I have no idea what's next. I have a tablerunne swap due out 3/31 then no one is waiting on anything.

I think I'll work on getting al lthe tops quilted. I have a couple for Gaylene, Kathy & Linda as well as my own. Kinda hit a wall as I don't need anymore quilts and don't know anyone that does so why make em.

I'M STILL HERE

Well if you follow my blog by now you're wondering if I'm just sitting home doing nothing. I have been quilting just at a much slower pace as it's tax season once again. That means I usualy sew weekends only. A few weeks ago I did finally finish the baby quilt I had been promising my friend Debbie for her first grandson. I hope they like it. I found it's nicer to make a small one now then larger ones as they grow.
