I Apologize!

Let me apologize to Gyleen X. Fitzgerald for misspelling her name in my previous post, I am so sorry.

I did sign up for her summer camp because I really like the way she teaches: http://www.colourfulstitches.com Check it out. 

She is the reason I am making a pineapple quilt (as if the 3500+ pieces for the wedding ring are not enough in my life...).

Because I don’t want to take the time to read, nor time to do so, I just finished listening to ‘One Tuesday Morning’ by Karen Kingsbury. It is a must read/listen but I will warn you to have your tissues handy!!

I won! I entered the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Blog Tour and I was one of the lucky ones! I just got my package today.  I really like the ‘I’m Sew Happy’ block in the accompanying magazine even though it is hard to see but trust me it's cute. I will definitely add it to my list. This might even make a cute mug rug Christmas gift….hummm

 

I hope you all had a very Happy Mother’s Day. I went to see my younger son Sat.

 Got my hair done but the best part was I got to see my Jellie! 
See how Cute!!!

My older granddaughter’s (Doodles) boyfriend’s prom was Sat. night.

Cute again!!! More like sooo pretty! I liked to have fainted when she told me what the dress cost! Whatever happened to the old days when either you made your dress or went to a bargain store?  

Ahh the olden days…

I made the cemetery arrangements on Thurs.

Again I do not have enough fabric for the next quilt I am working on. (Nothing new in my world.)  I am making a ‘controlled scrappy’ pineapple quilt as stated at the beginning of this post (Gyleen's fault). The black is my 'control' but these two blacks are just too different for the look I was going for. See how the bottom one is lighter than the top? Not that it matters that I have already  been sewing on the center blocks, did I mention 120 blocks?!?  

 

Top fabric is darker.

So I am either re-cutting the center blocks or reverse sewing. 

More than likely I will be reverse sewing. After all Jack (the ripper) is my friend! 

Because my work is rather slow right now, I am getting to cut the  fabric for the pineapple quilt (all but the black).

I have so many odd fabric pieces I started cutting them. What am I saving them for? (The paper towel roll is just to give you a gauge of how high the fabric is in the bag, there are two piles in there.)

That little bag holds the fabric and some center blocks for 120 blocks…(minus the black of which I have to purchase enough of to make a queen size. I am repeating this to get it into my head not to start a quilt until ALL the  fabric is in my possession.).

I repaired a lamp.

I repaired a broken piece of glass in a local church.

 

 

 

 

Obviously before repair.

Thanx for stopping by! Please be sure to check out Gyleen's site and consider signing up for her Summer Camp!
