new finish! urban pods

 

have I mentioned how much I love this ruler

the design options are great and endless

I have a few pieces leftover and trying to come up with something for a table runner

 

 

I added another row to make it a bit wider and that's easy to do just make more

I plan to start quilting a few things this week I am off until Friday night

sew-cation !

and I guess a little housework too ugh!

I was told about this quilt shop about an hour from here and a friend and I plan to attack it this morning WOOHOO!!!

SO I WILL TALK LATER

HAVE A GREAT DAY !

summer swoon finish

so the above is the final layout below was the original

I flipped the bottom row so all the bolder colors were not together i think I like it better

I did also finish the other swoon and will post later but when I had it layed out on the floor my cat decided to pee on it

YES !! the cat is still alive

but spending more time outside

 

so this is the craziest thing I took this photo the other say when all the trees had ice on them and were so pretty I have no idea how that falling snow came about

or here either that is the hubs he made that snowman for our granddaughter in florida

talk later have a great day

the buttons are dog treats and soon disappeared

A tale of 2 swoons

We'll here they are swoon #1 this is going to be mine I am missing 2 go figure

 dotty swoon
apparently google does not want to load the other 2 ill work on that

This is my town raffle quilt blocks below I made 10in case i I don't like one

oops!one of these is not like the other

cute little elephants

see that flying geese at the bottom
 now look at the others I did not till now guess I will be ripping out
I am trying to finish these before the quilter calls about my other quilt and take both to her to quilt I need to add sashing and layout then I am done
I don't know if I mentioned while these are a quick to make block
DO NOT DO MORE THAN ONE QUILT AT A TIME
unless you make them the same I got so confused even tho I had both sets of fabric separate I forgot what went with what
ay yaya!
but you could easily put one together in a weekend if you cut and square up before hand
off to work and I will talk later have a great weekend

Curve it up ruler

I have to admit this is a fun ruler and forgiving this is the bed runner I finished

Used the ribbon accuquilt go die I had only 3 corners and my husband insisted that it looked funny so I did the other corner now how to quilt it

Well that's it trying to still play with my iPhone

These are my new deer clearance at Joann's

Talk later I am working on a few things and still have hubs home so I still have not used my new baby but I'm planning to tomarrow

Have a great day!

whats going on here

curve it up urban pods

 

I have to say this ruler really is fun to use and a word to the wise don't use a really thick fabric or on the other hand a really stretchy on just plain ole cotton not real heavy on the die

 

don really have a pattern for this and I am not sure about the ribbon placement yet but it woll be a bed runner

took my DWR TO THE QUILTER YAA!

and also my dwr bed runner that's as close as I'll have at a quilt for our king no more tiny piecing for a while

and good bye to 7700 trading her in they already have a buyer for it used up till the last sec

ill show you later what I got

 

and my 2 swoon coming along

we are still running to the doctor yesterday a new general  for things like flu and sinus she checked my blood pressure which has been running high for a few months and now I will be on bp med really!

I exercise try to eat right now I will be taking as much meds as my husband who does not do those things anyway today we go back to see about his kidney stones and what they are going to do last week had the cist retaken off his head that came back and then I work the next 4 days so I get no sewing in unless I'm sneaky

double wedding ring #2 TADA!

well here she is all done bought the backing just going plain muslin the other one I know is for a wedding gift so I put the wedding fabric on the back but just in case since there is no talk of another wedding ill save it for the label

 

 

 

 

it is 7x7 the blocks are 17 " like the other I hope I put this one together better learned a lot the last time the fabric is called giggles be me and my sister I ended up having to have 2 fat quarter bundles the last one I got off etsy a little cheaper about 86$ it is not cheap to make one unless you have a lot of scraps i also miscounted and has to do some ripping out I always plan on having extra blocks to play with but I ended up with enough to make a bed runner no wonder I was sick of looking at those little pieces I need to sew on 2 more arcs and its done

I am still having trouble loading my pictures am still working on that

talk later have a great sunday

catching up

well there was another bake sale Saturday

had to take hubs to the er with kidney stones pain so I had to finish up sat morning



here is my bloody cake fake eyeballs fangs and mice all around it was a red devil cake

2 layers red-velvet and one in the middle devils-food they bar down the road gave 20$ for it hope nobody choked on and eyeball lol

I also made my usual dog pops a rawhide stick baked in a doggie pumpkin spice cookie

 

 

 

this will be my border I think a 3 in. and a 6

 

 a little headway on the dwr

 

here is my sample block

and I thought I would try this

clearly perfect I got it for 10$at crazyquiltgirl shop where I got the border fabric

it is static cling and you trim out where your bobbin goes on three sides and you never have to take it out like the easy angle but it is the same basic idea

 

well its back to the doctor tomorrow for  hubby then on Friday he has the sonic blaster for the stones again I feel so bad for him

talk later have a great week
