Quilt~ Coming along

Here is the quilt so far! Coming along! Got the first line of strips done.... I cannot wait to get it done! Will post more later!

Slow go....

So I got another strip of my zig-zag quilt done and it is shaping up quite nicely!! I cannot wait to get it done... The back will be one solid piece so that should take no time at all... and a friend of mine is going to show me how to bind it... being that this is the first quilt that I will have made from start to finish all on my own I still have lots to learn about the whole process.... I think I will go home tonight and work on it some more!

I might try posting a question with each post and see what responses I get back... about random stuff that I have seen on TV or heard.... Now all I have to do is think of some good questions to ask.... hmmmmm???

More pictures coming later this week!
Happy Monday!

Pictures... as promised!!

Well, here they are... pictures that I promised earlier in the week! Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Here is the scrap quilt that I am working on... all kinds of crazy and bright fabric! I am trying to get rid of this fabric because I have used it all on a T-shirt quilt that I made a long time ago and still have yet to finish! I figure I will make this scrap quilt a lap quilt for the couch or to lay across the bottom of a bed.....

Here is the zig-zag quilt that I am making for my daughter! I have started sewing the squares together and I have some seams are off already but I don't care... It's going to be so cute being white and pink!

And here are the other squares that I will be using.... one is brown circles with stars, the other with ducks, one with hearts, one with polka-dots and one with nursery rhymes on it.... I cannot wait for it to be done! I might just be up all night finishing it!

Happy Sunday!!!

I am spent!

Wow.... 3 Neuro Level 1's in 3 days.... I am spent! But it's good, I am brushing up on my neuro stuff! Just another example of learning new and exciting stuff everyday! Quilting is at a stand-still the past few days... I did learn that if you use a vinyl table cloth, with the felt on the back, and hang it with the felt out on a wall... your fabric will stick to the felt and you can layout your quilt pieces on it.... I was so excited when I tried it last night and it worked! How cool is that?!?!? I hope to get back into quilting this weekend! One more night of evenings this week and then the weekend! YEAH!! Have a great night!!!

Anniversary day!!!

What an Anniversary day! I came home this past night to a heart felt card laying on my pillow! What a great hubby!! Of course I had to come to work tonight... so a celebration will have to wait til this weekend. Quilting is coming along and I promise pictures will be up this weekend! I have so much to update on! My daughters zig-zag quilt is coming along nicely! I was a lot bigger then I anticipated.... but she will grow into it! I might just have to make her a smaller one that she can have now.

Have a great night!
