Table Toppers ! !

Mom and I are trying are best to
use up ALL of her scraps of Fabric.

mom had just recently bought a GO ! ! !
and of course a few Dies.

Out of the Chisel Die we cut
lots of Chisel Fabric out of the scraps.

Then another day we designed and sewed
the chisels together.

I believe we made about 7 strips of Chisels.
Then we sewed 2 strips together to make
Table Topper (or whatever).

Mom was nice enough to do the quilting.

GREAT JOB MOM ! ! ! !











Thanx for stopping by.

Till Next time ! !

More Mug Rugs

RC came to help out with the bush removal,
but RJ had that job done in 20 minutes.
Since the bushes had grown there for about
15 years, I thought it was gonna take
awhile to remove them.

RC is a handyman and I do need a couple
of things done around the house.

I showed him the gate that goes under my deck
needed to have the lattice work removed and
then boards put up in its place.
And also my mailbox needed to more stable.

RC would not let me pay him sooooo . . .
he got a mug RC.



Since his wife was driving him
around that day, she also got a mug rug.











Till next time ! !

As a thank you to RJ for removing my bushes
in front of my deck. Hoping to not to have
any more visiting snakes.
I made him a mug rug.










Till next week.

Am WAAAYYYYYY . . . .

Behind on my posting to my blog.

So I will hopefully post a few quick
posts with pics to get caught up.

Back in February-ish
Mom and I made some
Flour Sack Tea Towels.

Mom and I split the
tea towels between us.

Here are a few pics . . . .












We got rid of quit a few
border strippy fabric pieces.

But still had enough to make a few
more flour sack tea rowels
when my sis came out to visit in March.

Till next week.

Wedding Quilt Part 8

In between all the sewing and yard work
and just being LAZY . . . .
I did manage to buy some more fabric for
the backing of the quilt.
I have all 20 blocks layered and
ready to quilt.














Next will be the quilting ! ! ! !

YIKES ! !

This is what is
living in my Yews.

The Yews are right next to
my front deck in my
front yard.

Here is one snake.

If you look closely at the snakes in
the pic below, there are about 10 of them.

I believe it is the mama snake 
and her babies.
YIKES ! ! ! !












I DO NOT like snakes.


Wednesday can't get here 
soon enough.


A co-worker and my friends
husband will be coming over on
Wednesday to yank out or
cut down my 3 Yews.
Hopefully the snakes will
be going too.

Till next time ! ! !

Wedding Quilt Part 7

In March I kinda took a break
from sewing.

With ALL the shoveling of the snow.
The snow has gone ! YEAH ! ! !

And Big Sis came to visit.
We had a GREAT visit,
but as always her visit was 
too short.

I started back to sewing.

The blocks are finished.
20 total.










Now I will need to pick out the 
Pink Fabric for the sashing. 
I will also make 5 more Pink Fabric 
squares for the back. 

Then it will time to layer and 
quilt each of the squares separately.

Thanks for stopping by ! ! !

Till next time  ! !
