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.

Trout lily

Rue Anemone

Lots of blue bells!

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….

This is how far I am now.

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!

A new bread recipe

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.

We stayed warm wrapped in the pavilion.

Now for the update…

I didn’t get the last block finished 🫣

Just a little more yet

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

The little cabin in the woods

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.

Lovely rainbow!🙂

New pump house

Just needs staining yet

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

4 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!

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.

Happy camper 😄

Not so quilty….

A Christmas painting for my mom .

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. 10… a late hand quilt along update….

I was pleasantly surprised by a daughter coming over the weekend. I laid tech aside , and enjoyed my time with her as we strolled around outside showing her all that we have done to this “ happy place” .

My daughter also helped me take plants from the porch to be sheltered in the shed for the winter.

It has turned chilly here the last few days, so pleasant to be outside in!

I do have a finish!! The little quilt I was working on , it is finished being quilted I do have the binding to do for I decided to go with a red border instead of a muslin like back.

The red fabric came in the mail today , it will really make the little quilt pop.

The white just makes it more washed out looking.

I was also happy that I found the rest of the Cathedral quilt pieces.

It needs a few more muslin blocks added then I will finish the windows.

I did work on the camper blocks with one almost finished .

Here’s a picture of the knotted quilt that is on the bed .

Just a scrappy log cabin😍 it’s also very warm to sleep under.😁

My African violets are busying blooming, this is one of my favorites.

That is it for me this round.

Sept.17… Hand quilt along update….

I did some quilting and embroidery, oh yes I did!😁

I tried to finish up the little quilt but it just got to warm quilting it as my hands started to sweat . The needle then was hard to work with.

It is to be cooler tomorrow morning down to the low fifties, with no heat on ,working on the quilt early in the morning will feel great.

I also have a camper block about finished .

Next update definitely will have finished projects.

Here’s the little quilt and the block that I’ve been working on.

Hubby and I went mountain climbing up the mountain that is in back of the camper , we came across this old tree up on the ridge of the mountain.

Happy stitching until next update!
