Stuff For Laura

Before my daughters left to go to college in September I made some pouches for my youngest. We bought the one in the back with the handles and then she picked some scrapes and zippers. There is one large one and four smaller ones all the same size. When filled with her bathroom stuff they all fit into the bag with the handles.

This is a very large bag for her to put her desk supplies in. 

My older daughter made herself a double layer fleece blanket with a pocket. So because my youngest can't/won't sew I made one for her. 

And of course I can't have a post without one picture just for fun!! This is Abby, my oldest grand daughter.

My Granddaughter Turned 1!!

Wow, where does the time go? My sweet little redheaded granddaughter turned on this last week. She is such a sweet little thing. She has brought great joy into our family. We got together Sunday to celebrate. We had a wonderful time. All I can say is my heart was 10 times to big that day!!

She is eating dinner.

Here she is with mom opening presents. 

I was too busy filming her destroying the cake and forgot to take any pictures. But it sure was funny. Here is what her cake looked like when it was done.

Maniac Monday

What a week. I have been sewing up a storm. And relaxing. I have big things in the works but I will have to keep it a secret for a bit longer. I can't wait to share!!

I have been getting caught up on my Saturday Sampler blocks. Here are two of them. I love the fun brights with the black.

 With Halloween coming so quickly I wanted to get two of my UFO's done and out of the way. I have had these two wall hangings for so long. I got them out and finished them. They are so cute. The top one I still need to add a few buttons to. The bottom one has 3D shutters that flap open and closed. I am going to give it to my nieces and nephew. I know they will like it. 

As I was doing all of this fun sewing I got a little careless. I cut my thumbnail with my rotary cutter. Luckily it only got my nail. No blood. You can see inside that black circle where the blade went. I am so glad it stopped. I would have cut the top of my finger off!!

I finished another UFO. Well Three. I have had this pattern from the very beginning back in 2010. It is Twice as Nice... Plus More from Eleanor Burns. When I started these little quilts I knew that my first Granddaughter would get them. I am glad to have them finished before she turned 21. HA HA!!

 Speaking of my Granddaughter. Here she is in her little Boise Bronco's cheer leading outfit. She is so cute!!

I hope that everybody has a great week!!

Manic Monday and Traveling Stash Winner

I have not gotten anything done this last little bit. I have been focusing on family. We had a great 4th of July. Went to three different events on the 4th. Wow so much was going on. 

Below is my Grandfather holding my Granddaughter with her mommy's help. What a sweet moment. I love generational pictures like that.

 We had our own little firework display.

Then on the 9th my Sister-in-law had her baby. She is the little sister to the little boy I was watching this last school year. I will not have to watch them this fall. Their mom has decided to take some time off. 

 Here is my husband holding the new addition to our family while also holding our Granddaughter. The new is as big as the two month old.

Now on to other news. I had only two people enter the drawing for the Traveling Stash give away. It was Susan from suemacseeds. As soon as I get her address I will be going to the mail box to mail off all four boxes. The Traveling Stash box. Then the three boxes for my Anniversary give away. I hope you ladies enjoy your goodies.

Over at Quilting Gallery Michele is hosting a Coaster Swap. I have joined up. These are so cute. 

Over at Sew We Quilt I have joined up to be a part on a new blog hop. Be a Hexie Queen. I can't wait to get start on my project.

 As for me my day will be about finishing the quilting on my strip quilt. Then just resting and laundry. I hope your day is filled with blessings.

Dream On/That Quilt Along

Here are a few pictures of what I have gotten done. Finished the binding on my Frosty Flakes. 

Got my June Schnibble Dulcinea cut and have started sewing it. I am going with some of my 30's fabrics. Looking at the fat quarters from my last post I decided to play with them. I love them!!

At my LQS we have Saturday Sampler. This is one of the blocks I am working on. They are 16 1/2 inches. They will all be black then different shades of another color. I am not sure why this one did not come together. There are a few close ups bellow that show better how my points did not line up. ARG!!

Another block that I am doing is a paper-pieced called Stained Glass. 

We also collected pillowcases this month and here are the two I did. I just used the tutorial from All People Quilt. It is an easy pattern. They are at about 500,000 pillowcases made so maybe you can help out as well!

 I finished quilt #2 for It's a Mini Quilt Along. It is called Fire and Rain. So what better then red and blue. It is very patriotic.

I love to see all the little bits cut off.

I thought you might like to see my Granddaughter. She turned 1 month old on the 15th. I LOVE HER!! She has brought so much joy and happiness to me!!

Our hands together!!

Last but not least. Do you remember the "olden" days of Chain Letters? Well I received one from a friend. Well not just one but two, the same letter from two different ladies. Man, these things never work for me. But I am game. I have them all ready to mail out. But who to send them too? I would love to send them to anybody out there that would like one. Let me know in the comments if you would like one and I will email you to get your address. I have to mail out 8 letters. Come one have a go at it!!

H2H 2013 Link-Up

It is time to link up to Confessions of a Fabric Addict for the H2H Challenge 2013. 

I have finished quilting one of my quilts. I did all straight lined quilting with a walking foot. Let me tell you I love my walking foot. It makes quilting so much easier then with just my regular 1/4 inch foot. I finished on Tuesday. Now I just need to bind it. 

The front.

 The back.
