Quilt washing

Took advantage of the warm...okay, hot, weather

and washed some quilts

This is one of my favorites....

a variation of the 9-patch.

I love red!

On the Needle-Jul 20

Still that same scarf....

...tho it is closer to being finished!

What's your current project?

On the Needle

I think I will participate (sometimes)

in Judy's of Patchwork Times

"On the Needle" group on Fridays.

This week:

I am working on a pattern called

"Sinful Scarf".

I have been working on this scarf

on and off for a couple of months.

It's really an easy pattern,

but for some reason, I keep

messing it up and having to

rip a few rows out from time to time.

I originally started this scarf for me,

but now...I think it will end up in

the charity pile when it's finished.

If it is ever finished....

Pinterest and Auction projects

Do you use Pinterest?

I could use (waste) hours looking at (pinning)

recipes and patterns and ideas and....

well, just alot of fun things on their site.

I final decided to finish a project I pinned:

I went to the local thrift store and spent $5

for the 2 plates, bowl and 2 candlesticks.

Husband glued them up for me and

ta-da...a new veggie/fruit plate.

My Husband, Super Handyman, is a school teacher.

In the past, he has worked a second Summer job,

but this year, he decided to be a bum.

I've kept his busy...

I purchased a wooden cubby cabinet at

auction for $4. I thought my Husband could

use it for storage at home or at his school.

He decided to cut it in half and made me

2 new shoe cabinets for our closet.

I love shoes...maybe I better go shopping....

Coffee House thank you

I am a member of the

Sip and Stitch Davis County (Utah)

crochet and knit group.

We meet at The House of Brews

each and every Thursday for

some chatting and stitching.

As a thank you to the owner, Nancy,

for allowing us to take over her place,

I made this wall hanging.

(sorry for the poor photo)

I still need to quilt it, then

all the ladies are going to sign their

names on the back.

Wonderful group and

Wonderful meeting place!

(I don't drink coffee, but I love

the sandwiches, pastries and fruit smoothies)

Happy Independence Day!

Hope wherever you are,

you had a safe and happy

4th of July!

Here in Utah...we stayed

close to home and did NOT do any

fireworks.

Too many wild fires are

already burning around the State!

Charity Baby project finish

When we went away for our Anniversary

a couple of weeks ago, I realized I did

not bring any handiwork.

My husband bought me a HUGE

skein of yarn..called a pound of love!

I had crochet hooks with me,

so I followed the pattern inside the

skein label.

The pattern is Lion Brand yarns

Hooded Baby Afghan.

I have been working on it off and on for

the past couple of weeks,

Another finished item to go into the

charity/gift basket.

I love a quick finish project!

2012 UFO finish

I signed up to do the 12 UFO's in 2012

at Judy's blog, but I haven't been doing

so well this year.

I did accomlish this months goal

of 1 charity quilt (#12 on my list)

I made this quilt from scraps

for the Utah Quilts of Valor group.

It will be used for a awards presentation

ceremony sometime this month.

How are you doing on finishing

what you start?

Monthly Stash Busting Report

I messed up my calendar time,

and thought I had another Sunday in June

to do my monthly stash busting report...

so on 1 Jul...

Fabric in during June: 0 yards

Fabric in for 2012: 0 yards

Fabric out for June: 2.5 yards

Fabric out for 2012: 62.5 yards

Sad...so little used this month,

but I have a charity quilt,

plus one that is quilted but needs binding,

both ready to finish and count in the report!

How are you doing?
