May 24 …. Hand quilt along update….

A few days late? Yes indeed it is.😄

The whole family was here to enjoy a gathering before Mikes left for their new home in PR.

We had a wonderful long weekend. It all went by waayyy to fast. Here’s a photo of the two little girls who are only a three months apart.

🥰

Now time for update! I’m excited to say that I was able to squeeze in quilting time in the evenings. It was wonderful to quilt again!

I have the blue area finished!👏👏

I’m starting on the red part with just a little bit done.

That’s it for me. Happy stitching until next update!

I can show you ,a little of the inside of the camper where we will be living for the next year.

Small but cheerful

March 20…Hand quilt along update…

Spring has arrived here,but before it did winter had to give us a freeze like we haven’t had all winter! I lost a lot of young plants in my raised bed because of the freeze with wind. Oh well… I’ll just move on to summer things. No sense in crying over spilled milk right!😀

One of the last Camilla flowers hanging on.

Time now for update! I wasn’t as lazy this round,and took a picture of the quilt. I don’t know exactly how much I have done in the last three weeks but it does show how much was done in six … the grid work a good half way around center piece.

The circle is where my hoop was ,(and back on again) the another blue area is what needs to be finished then it’s border time. I’m hoping that I can have most of the blue area done by the next update .. if I get stressed over this moving business it just might happen as quilting is my stress reliever. I will do a post on the move.

Happy stitching ,my friends until next update!

February 27….hand quilt along update….

It’s that time again… and three more weeks just went poof.

I decided to do something a little different for I’m too lazy to undo the hoop and lay it out to see the grid work being done.😁 I will show you a little of the grid work that’s done after a bit though.

I need extra light when working in the evenings on this quilt for our family room table lamps aren’t super bright. I tried those head lights that has a head band … didn’t like them.. they messed up my hair!😤 and I had to hold my head a certain way that put a kink in my neck. So then I tried the neck reading lamp… well that wasn’t much better for it was hard to focus the light right where I wanted it.( it would often be more of a nonsense for hubby shining on him instead.🤷🏻‍♀️)

So I had this 💡 moment… it’s works out great.

Direct light where I need it!

A C clamp holds it well, and the readers lamp is recharged by a Charger cord rather than batteries.

Now the grid work…

A rather boring part of the quilt .😄

Now on the see what everyone else is doing.

Jan.16… Hand quilt along update…

Half way through January, and it’s a windy,chilly day here in Ga.

This kind of weather makes quilting a real delight, curling up with the quilt your quilting on is sooo toasty warm.🙂

Sorry I didn’t get a post up and running last update. I was too weary after all the Christmas crew . I totally enjoyed all the grands and the children home,however we are adding up to be quite a crew with 22 mouths to feed for several days.

Update time! Last round I was here…

Now I’m here…

The braid and the lines are done with scallops being worked on and the grid work.

A closer look.

I need to add a Camilla to this post, my bushes are blooming their hearts out.

Then there were some that were in a bouquet ,and just about done gone. They still dressed up an old planter.

Nov.15 …Hand quilt along update…

Yep, late again. 😀 at times though it’s better to be late .

I’m just back this afternoon from Md . I was there helping Mom,who has bacterial pneumonia. Mom is starting to feel better ,but she still has a little ways to go until she’ll be back to her normal self.

So here’s the update… where I was last update…

Center done with a few of the spikes and in between designs.

And here’s where I am now….

With cooler weather ,it is fun the curl up under this quilt to work on it!

Love how the sky and trees add a lovely touch to the old barn.

Oct.24….Hand quilt along update…

I’m doing a finish dance!💃💃👏👏💃💃🥵… getting to old for all that!

Here’s the old girl all finished ,washed with that soft bubble quilting that old quilts get.

Sure wish the one who put the top together could see it….

Here’s a little of the back quilting..

Now for the next quilt in the hoop ,is one that I’ve been pushing back into the unfinished pile. Kathy has got me excited to do it though with hers showing off so beautiful.

I’ll not take a whole picture of it , I’ll just let you see it as it’s being quilted. It’s queen size so it will be perfect to curl up under though the cool winter days.

I’m working on the little star like arms, there are three done along with the centerpiece

That’s it for me this round!

Oct.3 … Hand quilt along update….

I was hoping to finish this quilt by this update … oh well hopefully next update.😁 here is how much I need to do yet along with the binding.

I’m anxious to see it finished .. washed and dried . I have a feeling she’s going to be a beautiful old piece of art…. Wish the maker that put the top together could see her.

I have several projects in line that need to be finished….not sure which one I will do yet.…

I finished the painting for my wall. LouAnn helped me with the side frames. She has lovely hand writing.

A quick update on little Felix.. there’s a good chance he will be able to go home in two weeks!

Isn’t he a cutie!❤️

A heartfelt thank you for all your prayers and thoughts for him!!

Sept.12… Hand quilt along update

I did a little quilting this time around!👏🙂 I’ll try to make sense out of what I’ve done as I did work in a straight row like I was suppose too .

The blue is what I’ve quilted this around.

I have the five blocks to finish and then around them

Update on Little Felix, he had his transplant this week. He is still in the rough stage with breathing hard a concern. This is the picture his momma sent to us.
