March 24, Hand quilt along update…

Today was a beautiful day here in Tennessee! Hubby and I went looking for morel mushrooms, but I think it’s a little too early yet.

We didn’t find any. Still enjoyed the outdoors though.

Here where I was last time on the cathedral window mini…

Here’s where I am now.

You see the blocks I need to finish yet. 15 more than it’s a finish!

Here’s some spring flowers blooming in the hills.

I also have a lady slipper orchid blooming .

That’s it for me this time.😄

March 3 ..Hand quilt along update…

I have only managed to do 4 little windows this round.

Three weeks just go by way to fast!

This is where I’ve started after I rediscovered it in a drawer….

I know now what I’m going to use this piece for , I have an old dresser that it fits perfectly on. They go together beautifully!

Until next update , happy stitching!

Feb.11…. Hand quilt along update..

I finished all my little camper blocks. They are now waiting to be put together in a quilt , that will have to wait until I have better sewing space.

I did work on my cathedral window mini quilt , got several more windows done .

We have been cleaning up old logs that were just piled up from when it was logged off 25 years ago. I want to put my garden there.

I’m looking forward to gardening again!

I learned something new this week, lentils , dry beans , millet and wheat grounded together for flour is really good in bread.

Happy stitching friends!

Jan 21, Hand quilt along update.

What a week this has been! We have enjoyed a beautiful snow , cut up a hickory tree that fell, made a snowman, went sledding down the lane ( hubby came close to spilling into the creek! 😄), and wrapped pipes! We saw temperatures down to 5 * not sure of the wind chill.

Now for the update…

I didn’t get the last block finished 🫣

I do have a finish that’s not quilty at all..

That’s it for me, not much stitching going

on here… not unless you count in mending pants , and a shirt.

Dec. 30… Hand quilt along update…

Happy New year! May each one of y’all have a blessed year!❤️

I did get a little more done this round.. a little bit!😄

I have two more blocks left with a little bit to finish on the tenth block. 👏👏

Then I’ll have put them up for awhile until I can get a place to set up a sewing machine , there is no room for that here in the camper yet. However I have found everything for to finish my cathedral window mini. That is the next project that I want chalked off my to do list!!

That’s all for me this round.

One of my orchids is blooming , brighting my days.

Dec. 12…. A belated update…

We decided Wednesday nite to take a trailer for Cam , that was a emergency shower trailer, we were to meet a fella in Va at 10:00 , a two hour ride, Thursday morning .

So we packed up bags for we also decided that LouAnne’s pump house needed to be more winter ready.

So Thursday morning we were off to Ga , so a young fella could met us to continue with the trailer to somewhere in Florida to met someone who would then take it to where CAM had set up for to help with the rebuilding from a hurricane that ripped through Perryville, Florida.

Here’s the old pump house , the white block building with tin laying on the top.

I did how ever get some work done on the blocks, I have four more to go.

I’m also working hard on this painting , I want it done before Christmas!

On the way home as we were going through the mountains on Route 26 , there was snow on the mountains. It was beautiful!!

That’s it for me , folks!

Nov.23…The guest room…

I doing an update on the little guest room but also seeing if it posts when I push publish ! A few days ago, I couldn’t get my hand quilt along update to post until a day later .😏

Welcome to the little guest room !

The sink is in the bedroom in the corner by the bathroom.

There’s still some things we need to do in the little room … like hang a curtain, put up a mirror,and staining the doors…

Nov. 19 … Hand quilt along update…

I have one more block done with five more to go.

I’m thinking of doing a block within a block or,the friendship block when setting these campers in a quilt. Still deciding if I should put stripes between blocks.🙂

That’s it for me . Check up on the others , there’s eye candy to be found!

Oct. 29… hand quilt along update….

I didn’t finish the old quilt, I need to wash the fabric that I got for it , also have to crawl up in the sheds attic to find my sewing machine!

Hubby was putting plumbing in the little bathroom in the shed for guest so the washer was on off duty for a few days.

I did work on my camper blocks , I’m on block six, then I have six more to do.

Not so quilty….

I did a painting just like this for my daughter and Mom love it so much that I decided she needed her own. I will be able to give it to her this Thanksgiving as Christmas time won’t work out for us to see her.

That’s it for me this around…

Oct.28 my Happy place update….

It has been so pretty here in my happy place ..

So pretty that I had to share with you my friends. So enjoy!!

The little rose bush blooming away..

This is a petite knockout Rose , they only get two feet tall

My peas are blooming away but I’m going to have to cover them Monday night for we are going to have a killer frost

Zinnias that my grand daughter grew for me are still blooming away.

And hubby got this for me last week!!! I’m was thrilled , for I’ve always wanted one!!

We also have been working on the shed . I was to have a sewing room along with a laundry room. Well… we changed it up a bit , instead of a sewing room , it will be a guest room. It will be so nice for when the children come home to have a place to stay.

Here it is in the making…

The pavilion has the concrete seasoned and ready for the next step.

Thanks for stopping by!🙂
