Star crossed finally a finish


I would never have pursed this fabric if I had not seen it in this quilt
It's called shag and it's from the cotton and steel line

Its large 92 1/2 square the queen 
the pattern makes several sizes
And since I don't have a gazebo to hang it from this will have to do


The Bears paw next up


Hunters star and I plan a Dresden plate all as Xmas gifts I hope to finish by then 
I have used all fabrics from my collection (stash ) since in still unemployed
Still cleaning after flood and hoping the resteraunt will be able to open

Star crossed

So I'm still working on star crossed 1775 pieces give or take a couple if you are a fan of sew and flip pricing this quilt is for you.... I am not they never come out to be the right size that being said I loved this quilt bought fabric and committed myself for mom for Xmas 



Then this happened one is not like the other


And then I did this stupid ..


Lots of flip  
So I have a few left to rip out 
So I'm counting and I think every block had 49 pieces of fabric to start I'm determined tho hmm,
Meanwhile I'm still rocking started cleaning the resteraunt Thursday OMG it's unbelievable if you have never been thru a flood  stinking nasty hard work
Unfortunately we employ around 30 people and always the same handful of people and always the oldest realizing this is like the 12  or 13 time I have cleaned up after flooding it never gets easier
Any hoo
I made this the other day blackberry cheese Danish 
I'm not much on these things but I could have eaten the whole thing 
Comment if you would like the recipe
Image also been trying to see these together for my nieces and have to cut another for my sis 
And my oldest niece is pregnant they don't call my quilts babymaker for nothing 
In just this last year 3 people I have gifted quilts are pregnant lol!!

Since we are down to just one cat Barney by the way he thinks he's a dog anyway we have become very close ayyy
Well I think that's all have a great Sunday

Fireworks



I got my fireworks quilt back from the quilter several months ago but I always put off binding









Stained glass is also a finish after ripping out what I already had quilted




Corner quilting on the big kahuna 



Well not much for words right now
Been a lot of this with all the rainy days had to take the one cat on the recliner to be put Down her cancer just got to bad and can't let her go on like she was
Came home today and the other grey cat was continually walking in a circle not sure why 
she's resting now
Water still up about belly button deep in my resteraunt hopefully we will be allowed to reopen after the water goes down I don't want to think about cleaning after another flood but it has to be done and have done around 11 times now
Anyhow

Outa work and forced to make binding


 Stained glass I started this quilt about......5 -6 yrs ago its a turning 20 pattern I used a fat quarter bundle of tutti fruition I don't think it's available now I started quilting in each color section and hated it 
Threw it in the corner then in the closet then this year I decided to rip it out and start over




So here it is stained glass straight line quilted and I just put my foot down not straight not perfectly apart but I like it


I don't love it

The big kahuna done


I'm not thrilled with this quilt but I just went for it


Fireworks 
I'm going to have to look up the pattern I did not quilt it but I did make it
So 
Also still getting a lot of rain
That's it
