Finally Fri-Yay!

NaDell and Andy have been waiting for this Quilt. 

It was such fun to Surprise her at the Airport tonight.

She's been in Salt Lake City all week.

I had to wait until she got home.

We were on our way home when her flight was landing so I texted her.

Meet you at the Airport, lol!!

It's not every day I can surprise her.

I took her picture so she took ours...

It took over a year to get it Finished.

The most time consuming was getting the titles 

Machine Embroidered on the books.

They gave me lots of good Book titles to choose.

I had to ask for a few more as the Quilt grew bigger.

I started it the 21 of June, 2022 HERE

The Red Rose is from Jackie Robinson's Roses Stash.

Now, I need to make one for myself! hahaha!

Quilting Design - "Woodsy"

Monday- end of July report

This is my Scrappy Project that is slowly 

getting worked on.

A picnic quilt Jenny shared a few weeks ago. 

I got a box of batting for August Quilting.

I got 2 Chuck the Ducks and a Free pattern 

in each one.

This was me on Kimberbell Day. 

I had the day to myself. 

I was hurting a lot so I just watched until 

It was time to make the Cardinal. 

I waited all day for it.

It needs a bit more trimming

I didn't change thread for the black eye.

I got the borders on the Bookcase Quilt 

 And I stitched a title on in a place that 

needed a book title.

In between I made Frog’s Eye salad and Snickerdoodles for Sunday.

I got up early and went back to the Chiropractor. 

The pain level is better, but no stitching.

Goodbye July!

Come back for the blog-o-versary soon.

 

WOW - Wednesday

 Stitching in the Afternoon.

I love the New Bella Box Bonus Designs.

I tried the Shop Local "Garden" one and it wasn't easy to change colors between.

This one was much better!

I'm glad I got a few Extra Totes.

Note to self: Wind extra Bobbins before starting...

My Bella Box should arrive later today.

I just need to sash these 4 pretty Blocks.

They are big compared to my usual size.

Missouri Star Quilt Company 

"Time Flies"

Jenny said the hour glass in the center is Time.

The Flying geese... fly

I have full bots of the Pink fabrics. 

Thinking about which one to use for sashing.

I have 2 weeks to get it finished.

Can Hardly wait for a road trip.

My Back and Neck might scream at me but I will make it happen.

Happy Wednesday!

Design Wall Monday - lol what's in my hoop?

What's in my Hoop???

More KIMBERBELL projects.

Testing out the Quilting on these Fan/Dresden Plate blocks.

I need more practice on the Machine Quilting in the Hoop.

I love Butterflies and wanted to do them in MY favorite fabrics, of course.

The finished Butterfly!

It snowed again while I was sleeping so I am ready for SPRING any day now.

This is my version of the Family Tree wall hanging.

We are rooted together In LOVE!

WOW- Wednesday

I finally got the DH to get me a bigger Embroidery Machine.

 After a visit to my favorite Bernina dealer, we made a deal.

I'm sew Spoiled and I LIKE it!

This gently used and new Embroidery Module came home yesterday.

It only does Embroidery.

Push Button to Start, NO FOOT PEDAL.

I love the auto cutter and the Bobbin alert. 

It has a BIG Bobbin.

I'm taking a few Classes to learn about all the Bells and Whitsles is has.

Great for those smaller projects that I love to make from Kimberbell.

Yes, I am a bit addicted to Embroidery right now.

Using up some fun Novelty Prints and Fat Quarters.

No sneaky Peeks yet! Just wait and see...

I had to do some Shuffling and re-arranging of totes downstairs to get to this table.

Sturdy enough and big enough to hold the Machine.

Extra supplies in the rolling cart and drawers I already had.

It is temporarily here in the Hallmark Watching place.

AKA: Grandma's Christmas Sweat Shop.

I can lock people out so they don't get a sneak peek.by tea

DH likes to tease and put the lock on, I don't mind getting locked in there.

When my Thanksgiving Cactus blooms it gets me in the MOOD for the Holidays.

This was Monday.

The blooms today are even bigger.

Whatcha Working on this WOW- Wednesday?

National Quilt Month 2022

Happy 1st day of National Quilt Month!

This is my intro post.

Thanks Amy's Creative Side

I'm the Crazy Quiltingrandma aka: Mom/Grandma/Great Grandma

I love to Quilt!

I would quilt Everyday if I could.

Quilting is one of my joys in life!

My Family is my biggest Joy!!

I love creating new blocks from my Fabric collection/Stash.

Making quilts for people that I love is the best gift to make.

I don't like to out a price on my work so I don't make custom quilts for people, they couldn't afford me! All the hours and days, months and sometimes years it takes to finish a quilt.

I love my Quilty T-shirts and socks.

Spending time on my quilts fills the days.

I am never bored- I can find something quilty to do.

I also have quilty books I love to read.

This T-shirt says it all...

Quilt-Eat-Sleep-Repeat

That's what I do!

I Quilted a few Quilts in February. YEA for Betsy!

Even with all the stops and starts.

Diana, My Sister by Love asked me to quilt this for her Mom and Dad.

Happy Birthday to Pres Alder!

I was huge and filled the whole frame.

I tried a new pattern on it and it almost made me say a few bad words when

I had to keep re-starting Betsy.

We delivered it a day early, hurray!

Then I quilted Abby's 1st Quilt

I played with my Machine Embroidery and took an online class to make this

Spring Door/Wall hanging with MGQS in Logan

It took a bit of testing with the spacing and the CBT (Clear Blue Tiles)

I hope I can finish a few small projects with the CBT.

I made a few Blue Blocks.

These are for the Riley Blake Block Challenge 2022

Up next is Elizabeth's Quilt.

Tri-City Quilt Show is the 25th-26th of March.

Quiltathon - Day 3

I had a few interruptions and a bit of Quilter's ADD yesterday.

I never made it back to show  my Progress.

Betsy wasn't cooperating when I tried to get started on the Quilting, :(

 I  ended up playing with my Artista again.

I re-did the "Welcome" in Green.

Stitched up the Happy Birthday part for that Bench Pillow. 

I realized that the Booklet I have doesn't include the Happy Birthday Pattern. 

I had to order it. More delays in getting my Class Samples finished.

Printed off some Free Patterns from Sewkindofwonderful.

More Quick Curve Projects in my Future..

Lots of Likes and Comments on my Pineapple!!!

Did you know the Pineapple is a SIGN of "Welcome"

Perfect reason to make a Welcome Banner, I think!!!

Since I ran out of time and Patience to START  quilting...

I thought, maybe there's time to get the LAST 4-Patch Border on my En Provence.

 Had to make a few more of Clue 1 - neutral 4-Patches.

Yes, it really does matter which way you feed them into the machine, Just Saying.

Thank goodness I found this FAT Quarter of my Sparkly fabric at STASH.

13" is all that's left of it.

The Final Link-up for the Mystery on Quiltville is Monday, come back for the Big Reveal!

Yes, my Goals for February are being Crossed off 1 by 1!!!

The BEST part of my DAY

DH brought home Pretty Flowers- 

Early Valentine's!!!

Thanks, I think I'll Keep HIM!!!

Praying for a Quick recovery of DD#2

She slipped and hit her head, so NO WORKING this weekend for her.

I'm really glad she didn't have to come down my Street and that her SIL could help her with the Boys.

((((HUGS))))

The Temps are Rising and the snow is slowly melting.

(if I hurry I can get one more Snow pic of my En Provence)

I slid down the driveway last night.

 I had a Relief Society Meeting to go to. 

1st one  that wasn't cancelled because of the Weather.

 Thanks to Judy D for posting about this Quiltathon and to JUDY L for Hosting it!
