Colorful quilts

I wonder if anyone is out there. I have nobody that is under my followers. I'll keep going so that I have a record of my quilts this year.

These blocks I made the half square triangles were done in early May. All stitched by hand.

Then I had an idea. I stitch the block together on the machine. Then I went on and shashed them. I found the border in my stash. Now another top ready for machine quilting.

These flying geese blocks I made at the first of the year 2009. I went ahead and put them together. I don't want any unfinished thing when I go to sugery. You never know!

Heather's quilted handbag

I've been sewing all day. I got this hand bag finished for my daughter, Heather. It is one of those crazy fabrics, y did I buy it, except for a purse. Hopefully she loves it. Lots of pockets inside.

The dog in the picture is Baby bear. He likes it.

This weekend I'm sewing pillows for my daughter to take for some of the kids at her preschool. It is not much of a challenge but the kids will like them. They are 10"x16" Big enough for little 2 or 3 year olds. They then have to get them in their cubby.

Small But Cute

It is another cold, COLD day in Florida! I'm sick of it. I don't have any pretty snow to look at just lots of brown. I'll be so happy to see spring.

My knee surgury will be on March 16. YEA!!!

This little wall hanging I did in the Laura Wasilowski style. It was simple and took me time to sit and do hand stitching and cutting! Love that. I feel like spring maybe just around the corner. Wow summer may come too! The wall hanging just makes me feel good.

These blocks I made yesterday. I had so much fun just putting all kinds of fabric together. I think I could just go on and on and make a king size quilt with these lttle 6" blocks. The sewing machine in the picture is my old Phaff that is about 17 years old I just love it.

This is my new Basket Quilt. I used my easy method for making baskets. This little wall haning was all done on the machine. I used decorative stitches for the applique.

Knee Surgery?

I called yesterday to see about getting an earlier appointment with my knee Dr. I got a call back today. I have an appointment for Monday. My knee is totally well so I'm hoping and praying that my Dr. will schedule my knee surgery for very soon. I'm so ready to start getting back to my regular life. I 'm going to go to exercise classes and do everything to get my tone back. I want to be better than I was actually.
I have a letter ready to go out to a publisher about a quilt book I want to see about publishing.
I'm almost afraid to talk about it yet. Wish me luck!
