Amanda Jean's Quilt Along BLocks final week

I finally finished the last of the quilt along blocks. I need to lay them out tomorrow and play with the placement. This week Amanda Jean was showing sashing etc. I'm not big on that so I might just sew the blocks together. I have 30 ( I think).
I need to get back to G'Ma Cora and get the final borders on it.

For Jeannie and anyone else that couldn't read the Guild's Speaker page, I'll list them either late tonight or tomorrow. It doesn't seem to work with Firefox or Mozilla. Why? We don't know and some people that have those browsers can see it and some can't. Of course until I get the non profit paperwork from the Board, it's staying that way as I'm not spending $700 on a webpage program out of my pocket :P
The bitties didn't even want the page, hubby bought it for them for 2 years and now they're belly aching they can't read it if they have Firefox - heavy sigh.....

Thursday post :)

I pieced the challenge quilt yesterday and did the quilt marking on it. I need to baste it tomorrow and start the hand quilting. Today I went with my friend , Katie for a ride to pick up her new vintage machine she won on ebayNow I want you to look at what she paid for it.Can you believe it???? And it's a beauty. Needs to be rewired but still. The cabinet was in pretty good shape and it had lots of "stuff" in the drawers






Amanda Jean posted our blocks on Monday, right on time. ANd for the second week in a row, I'm up to date!!! What a concept-lol

Two posts in one day Gasp!

I finally caught up on Amanda Jean's quilt along. Another finish ahead of schedule...





I found the rest of my bonus hsts from the 30's pineapple quilt and have been trimming them making more Dutchman's Puzzle blocks to add to the quilt along blocks.

I finished 2 more Ocean Waves blocks also so far today but now it's time for a well deserved nap VBG. And tonight and tomorrow I believe I will be piecing my top for Carolina Crossroads. When Mr Juki comes home we will be busy. Also I have a HUGE box I need to unpack from Mel and I need to finish packing a box or two myself for the post office Monday morning.

Oh and I found my Amish Tumblers and my case is packed for sewing later in the week with Katie :)

Quilt Along Week 9

Well I'm at least caught up with the Quilt along blocks ;)

Just when I "thought " I was catching up

I did manage to get 8 of the Girl Scout blocks and weeks 7 and 8 done of Amanda Jean's Quilt along Blocks. And as soon as I went to get week 8 I saw week 9
went up :( I don't think I'll ever catch up. Notice Nancy lounging in the way. Didn't take long for her to take over







I have 4 more of this color to make and I can start color 7 of 10 of the Girl Scout quilts- yippee!!!



I do have a HUGE mess in the fabric sewing area of the dining room- missing parts to mysteries. My problem I believe is I'm trying to make too many things at once. I need to pack up EVERYTHING tomorrow in the correct containers and get ready to move the sewing area around this weekend. This will entail a book case- and the sewing table. Finding a home for the containers for the all the "in progress quilts" Girl Scout Quilts, Grandma Cora, Carolina Crossroads and there's another one on the tip of my tounge- oh yeah the Yogi quilt. EVERYTHING has to be put away for now. You never know, I may just find the missing 3 yards of hand dyes for the ocean waves quilt, the missing Carolina Crossroads pieces and the extra kona candy blue that went missing forcing me to buy a half yard this weekend. One can hope anyway rights????


The 3 cats do not get along. I would think the girls would but they don't and Moose gets along with no one and he's acting up over the new cat.


Moose trying catch some ZZZZZZZ's after tormenting Nancy all morning.






When Bonnie finshes her mystery I nee to make another mystery quilt out of these fabrics for a friend who turned the BIG 5-0 on New Years Day. We call him the Halloween King so these fabrics will be perfect for him. THe black is solid black a kona - but my camera keeps making these designs in some of the solids lately ....wonder why. I'll be using the same pattern as Leah did her green and yellow ring quilt from. :)




I got this via email from DD - It's her and her Boyfriend- Cute couple huh??? LOL

Quilt Along Week 5

Moose seems to have decided he's staying. And he will meow and meow till the kids open their doors and pet him. If you do a good job, he will grace your room with his presence *rolling eyes*. He DS is trying out for an appearence- snicker. Moose actually like DS ALOT for some reason. Chat didn't :P . Later I'll try and get a pic of poor Cyd and her stitches. Poor thing is really not liking the antibotics she's one and will do everything she can to avoid them. She's such a petite thing too at
8 1/2lbs.




I finished my blocks this morning. Now to finish 5 more pinwheels in color 4 for the Girl Scout quilts and I'm ready for color 5 *VBG*







Here's block 2 :)

Quilt Along blocks week 4

Amanda Jean posted our blocks Monday, I know I'm behind. But in my defense I did baste my quilt yesterday and start the hand quilting *VBG* and as fast as I start making Bonnie's patterns , she starts another and a mystery no less. So last night I did my 100 rail blocks.. Seems a bunch of us are doing reds and greens- and they'll all be different.




So here are my quilt along blocks- block 1 -week 4



So here's block 2 for week 4

Quilt Along Week 3 Blocks

I managed to finish my 2 blocks this morning finally. :) I really like the 2 of each block in different colors. Amanda Jean showed us the quilt it is based on on her blog this morning. I really like the 9 patches going around the outside- something to consider....but we shall see when we get to the end of the journey.

Not getting the right stuff finished :(

I did sew the Quilt along blocks together this morning. :) Yesterday I saw 15 SB Sue blocks embroidered in pale colors that would go perfectly with these 30's repros. Do you think I can find them today to put in a container with the quilt along blocks?? Of course not :(

Haha !!! I found them *wink* I 'll figure something out to use these as centers of some blocks






So since the 30's stuff was out of it's box I finished another pineapple that was started.





I still need to sew together the bonus triangles into something. I might do a Depression Block this time *VBG*. We shall see. But alas I need to clean this mess up for tonight. When I get back from donating plasma, I have baking to do and basting of the Christmas Pineapple from yesterday. And of course I can't find my bonus hsts wall hanging to put borders on it. And Leah aka Wonder girl is done with her quilt AND quilting her baby quilt from the bonus hsts...Leah you rock!!!


I wish all my blogger friends a very Happy Thanksgiving. I know I have alot to be thankful for this year.

I joined a quilt along :)

crazy mom quilts's blog started a quilt along this week. Like a sampler. We get a new block each week for 12 weeks and then we set how we want - cool huh? I made 2 just so I can have enough to make a throw.

Here's one of the blocks I made for this week's block.



and here's the other.




I went Christmas shopping with the girls of the family. My mom, sister, sister in law and dd. I'm bored with shopping in a couple of hours even when I'm alone, power shopping store to store. But waiting for everyone to check out and decide where to go next...blah I have no patience for it.
But we all got our pic taken with Santa Claus...lol. DD and her gf's are all doing this weird thing and she conned Santa into giving her 2 thumbs up for this silliness *rolling eyes*
