OWLS

  Well I have shown yall my owl quilt.  I posted a picture of the quilt on the quliting board asking for ideas of how to quilt and I have had an amazing response.  So many people want the pattern.  I can not belive that someone would be interested in a pattern that I put together.  I have been doing just that putting the pattern together.  When I did the quilt I just winged it. No pun intended, so I am having to go back and put the little guys done in paper without all my hen scratch.  This little quilt has a funny story and sometime I will have to share it with you all.  Hope you all are doing great, if there is anyone out there reading my rambles.

Phd.

 Phd.   Projects Half Done.  We all know that I have plenty of my own PHD's, but my quilt quild had a garage sale and there was a few phd's that I could not resist, they were such a great price and all the proceeds went to the guild.  I had to my part to support the guild.  This is the things I purchased...

 

I think that I ended up with four phd's and the rest was fabric.  One of the phd's that I purchased was these string blocks.  All of the blocks were completed they just needed to be pieced together.   I put four blocks together to make one large block then put the large blocks together.  I just now have to decide on a border. 

 

It was fun to put something together that someone else had worked on.  The other thing that was interesting to me was some of the fabric that the original owner used as foundation pieces I have in my stash.  I love string quilts and actually have one in progress now.  My ADD is taking over again because this sting quilt is not on my March list.  I will have to work hard on that March list.

I have been adopted

Yes you read it correctly I have been adopted.  I have mentioned the quilting forum that I visit so often "The Quilting Board" well it had a challenge for an experienced quilter to adopt a newbie. So I was adopted.  I am so excited.  My quilting mother is the best.  She has so much knowledge and I have such a comfort knowing that it is there for me to tap into at anytime.  I worked on the cushions last night and today delivered one of them to the owner and he is going to check it tonight to make sure that it fits.  I hope he likes them.  I hope you all have the comfort of knowing you have someone to help you with your projects.

Working

  I have to say again I did not complete my list for this month, and as you will see in this post I have also done a couple of other things I was going to try and restrain myself from doing.   1-  I have purchased fabric, not to complete a project but just because I like it.  2- I have started new projects.  This one I have mixed feelings about because I love every project I have in my little room of get away and I love each new project equally.   This may be one of the things that is contributing to the fact that I cannot complete a list for the month.  I really desire to see my WIP come to life so I must try to stay on track.I have been working this month.  I will now share with you on what.  Cushions....... One of the guys I work with asked me if I would make new covers for his cushions.  Don't worry that is not the fabric I am using.  I used it to as my pattern.  This is not my comfort zone; however, it has been ok. 

 



Next, a new project.  I love the forum The Quilting Board.  They have a member block swap on it and one of the swaps you could join is a funky chicken block.  The requirements for this block is to make 6 blocks and then you get six blocks back.  I wanted more than 6 blocks so I decided to do 3 sets of 6 and here they are.   I  do have to finish sewing them and put their eyes on.  I must say they make me smile.   

 

and now the Hens

 

Roosters

 

the CHICKS

 

I have also completed the Owl quilt top and it just needs to be quilted.  I am having a little trouble deciding how to quilt it.    

 

 

  And I am just about done with my workshop matchless lonestar.

 

I am going to focus on one project and try to complete it prior to working on another.   Sounds good right...
